Don’t miss this event:

The Slideluck Potshow London II event will be taking place on 19 June, 2010 at Shoreditch House. This will be part of the 2010 global tour, launching in New York this Saturday, 15 May. The event will consist of a slideshow and potluck dinner, bringing together members of the photography, art and media communities for an evening of eating, drinking and sharing work.

SLIDELUCK POTSHOW (SLPS) is a non-profit arts organisation that aims to build and strengthen community around art and food. It is a forum for exposing photographers, curators, collectors, and editors to new work, while infusing the arts community with a non- commercial vitality and refreshing exchange. Every event sees the participation of local and international photographers and artists ranging from the very accomplished to the up and coming.

Past contributors include: The Guggenheim Foundation, Chuck Close, Elliott Erwitt, Gregory Crewdson, Jonas Bendiksen, Todd Hido, Elinor Carucci, Alec Soth, Spencer Tunick, Shepard Fairey, Martin Parr, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Lauren Greenfield, Vincent Laforet and many others.

The evening will begin with a couple hours of mingling and dining on the delicious home-cooked food brought by those who attend, then the lights are dimmed, the crowd is hushed and a slideshow commences.

For over ten years, SLPS has been bringing an event that combines a multimedia slideshow with a potluck dinner to cities all over the world. What began in Seattle as a grassroots effort by award-winning photographer, Casey Kelbaugh, in 2000 has now become an international cultural phenomenon.

“I wanted to foster a sense of community within the industry while presenting the work in a egalitarian fashion; by limiting everyone from unpublished students to international art stars to a five minute time limit on their presentations”. Casey adds, “More than anything else, it’s a fun and inspiring evening that is meant to remind of us why we are creating in the first place.”

SLPS has grown exponentially and by demand and has taken place in cities all over the world including New York, Berlin, Oslo, São Paolo, Milan, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Chicago, Mexico City, Nairobi, Copenhagen, Toronto, Seville, Rome, Bogotá, San Francisco, Madrid, Minneapolis, Stockholm, Rio de Janeiro, Berlin, Panama City, Montrèal, New Orleans and now, for the second time in three years, London.
