| Description | Original photographic works both exhibited and produced in preparation for exhibition, commissioned or produced for a project by Vanley Burke. The exhibitions date from 1979 onwards, however the images from which the photographic prints are taken may predate 1979. The arrangement is by exhibition or project and is expected to expand with future accessions.
Many of the images are reused in publications and in further group and solo exhibitions, but the works here are arranged by the exhibition that they were originally produced for, unless they are exhibition prints or press prints reproduced for a new exhibition.
Included in each series if available is the documentary material from and for the exhibitions. This can include preparatory notes, correspondence, draft promotional material, posters, flyers, and leaflets.
The first series is the 'Handsworth from the Inside' exhibition, which contains many of the most used images such as 'Boy with Flag' (MS 2192/A/A/1/2) and 'Altar Call' (MS 2192/A/A/1/4). The later exhibitions and projects follow on in a generally chronological order, with the possible exception of later accessions. |
