New Exhibiton at BMC Gallery 
Still Life by Simon Ward The next exhibition at BMC Gallery will be a series of photographs by Simon Ward, who has recently won the Re:creation photography award for his collection of images inspired by, amongst other things, 18th century Masters. “Photography for me has to release a kind of physical emotion placing me as close to the subject as I can, experiencing a personal challenge to represent the subject in its greatest veracity despite the intensity of the situation. The elegance of the work falls between the technique and actual physical entity of the animal. Each image is created digitally on a scanner with the real artefact. This allows me to absorb the smells and texture forming a simple but carefully composed reflection, a stillness of life, a focus to detail made by a single brushstroke of ‘scanned light’.” Simon Ward 2003 Brighton artist Simon has also just won the Unscene competition - dubbed as the student Turner Prize 2003 and been shortlisted for The International Open Image Competition, so this show will be an ideal opportunity to view the work of an obviously up-and-coming young photographer. Still Life by Simon Ward Brighton Media Centre Gallery, 9-12 Middle Street 12th May - 20th June 2003 Sponsored by TUACA and Colourfast

Fancy a lift? Brighton Beach will be the location of the Brighton Fringe’s smallest venue this year - a two metre square custom built lift. Situated on the West Pier Groyne near the Ellipse, the 5065 Lift will be running a daily programme of uplifting events from May 3-11. The 5065 Lift’s hosts are comedy trio The Giant Pineapple Boys and the tiny venue will be home to 99 performances by up and coming acts ranging from comedy to live music. The event is sponsored by Cafédirect, which buys from farmers at a fair price. In the spirit of Cafédirect’s principles, audiences will be asked to pay what they think is fair at the end of every show they attend. For further information on the programme, log onto their website: www.5065.co.uk First Aid - last chance! We have had a good response so far for the first aid course, but still need a few more people to express an interest before we can go ahead and organise a training day. Under the 1981 Health & Safety Regulations, employers are legally obliged to provide adequate first aid provision for staff. Companies with less than 50 employees should provide at least one first aider. We've provisionally booked the Emergency Aid for Appointed Persons course for Wednesday 4th June. The cost will be £60 + VAT per person and the course takes a full day. If you'd like to take part, please email emily@mediacentre.org Office Doctor Are you frustrated with overflowing files?
