Muybridge Galore!

[Michael Wong]

For all you Muybridge fans out there, there seems to be no shortage of events dedicated to this innovative and influential early pioneer of moving photography who hailed from Kingston-upon-Thames.

It kicks off with a 'Muybridge in Kingston Launch Day' which includes an evening lecture on his links to the history of the moving and projected image given by Muybridge expert, Stephen Herbert.

You can also partake in a series of events/talks over the coming weeks, not forgetting the not-to-be-missed Tate exhibition. Details of some of the events can be found in the BPH Events section or a more comprehensive one can be found here.

The Stanley Picker Gallery & Kingston University is working inpartnership with the Royal Borough of Kingston to develop research around their unique and extensive Eadweard Muybridge collection at KIngston Museum & Archive, details of which can be found here.
