How we are now - photographing Britain

There's a new exhibition at the TATE BRITAIN GALLERY opening on the 22nd of May.
It's called How we are now, and contains photographic images of Britain.
Julian Baggini (who wrote Everytown, a book I blogged about earlier this year) has written an interesting review of the exhibition in the latest issue of the NEW STATESMAN.

You can add your photograph to the exhibition.
For the first time, a FLICKR group has been set up for people to add their own images.
YOUR PICTURES COULD END UP IN THE EXHIBITION
Check out the following details:

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
How We Are: Photographing Britain (Tate Britain, 22 May — 2 September 2007) takes a unique look at the journey of British photography, from the pioneers of the early medium to today’s photographers who use new technology to make and display their imagery. To demonstrate the evolving nature of photography in the twenty-first century, Flickr photographs will be featured in the exhibition.

SUBMITTING YOUR PHOTOGRAPH
To submit a photograph to the exhibition, simply join this group and contribute your photograph anytime until 25 July 2007. (How do I add my photograph to the group?)

You can add up to 4 photos to the group.

BEFORE YOU ADD YOUR PHOTOGRAPH
Your photograph must:

• be taken in the United Kingdom
• illustrate one of the four themes of the exhibition: portrait, landscape, still life or documentary

Before you add your photograph, please apply one of the exhibition's themes to your photograph by tagging it with "portrait," "landscape," "still life" or "documentary." (How do I choose and apply a theme to my photograph using a tag?)

We encourage you to also mark the location in the UK that your photograph was taken using Flickr’s "Place this photo on a map" feature. (How do I mark my photograph on the map?)

DISPLAY ONLINE AND AT TATE BRITAIN
This group's photographs will be displayed on screens as part of the exhibition at Tate Britain. The photographs will also be posted and shared on the exhibition website on Tate Online and on the website of the exhibition's media partner, The Observer.

"THE FINAL 40"
In the final weeks of the exhibition, 40 photographs — 10 from each of the four themes — will be chosen by Tate to form the final display in the gallery from 6 August — 2 September 2007. A panel of curators, artists, photographers and others will select the final 40 photographs. The final 40 images will also be archived on Tate Online as part of the exhibition's website.
