At Home with Vanley
Burke at the Ikon (until 27 September) is unlike most exhibitions in
that it presents the visitor with the entire contents of Vanley’s flat in
Nechells, north-east Birmingham. Most of us know Vanley as a photographer,
working in Britain and Birmingham since the 1960s, but he is also a collector
and archivist. This exhibition allows us an unusual insight into Vanley’s own
world. As Marlene Smith writes in the excellent accompanying guide, ‘now we see
him’.
