World-renowned photographer Alec Soth visits Foyles for a discussion about his questioning new work, Advice for Young Artists. Inspired by the late Polaroids of Walker Evans, the photographs in Soth’s latest book gather his impressions on life, art-making, and ageing, captured in his encounters visiting twenty-five undergraduate art programmes across the United States. Twenty years on from the publication of his first book, this is the reflective and provocative latest work from a master of his craft. Alec Soth is an award-winning photographer born and based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He has published over thirty books including Sleeping by the Mississippi (2004), NIAGARA (2006), Broken Manual (2010), Songbook (2015), and A Pound of Pictures (2022). Soth has had over fifty solo exhibitions including shows organized by Jeu de Paume in Paris (2008), the Walker Art Center in Minnesota (2010), Media Space in London (2015), and the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum (2024). Soth has been the recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, including the Guggenheim Fellowship, and is a member of Magnum Photos. This event will be chaired by Charlotte Jansen. The author of Girl on Girl and Photography Now:Fifty Pioneers Defining Photography for the Twenty-First Century, Jansen has also written extensively on contemporary art for the Guardian, Financial Times, ELLE, frieze, and The British Journal of Photography, among others. This event will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Doors will open from 6:45pm.

On May 21, I took the elderly to visit the British Museum, and the tour guide service was warm and professional. If you visit the museum without a tour guide, it may be completed in half an hour. The main reason is that the historical geography has not been learned well. Under the tour guide&#39;s explanation, the three hours feel very fast. This is the second time I have decided to come to the British Museum for the tour guide service of Trip.com . I still feel that the meaning is still not enough. The first time I came, I also decided that the tour guide service of Trip.com was very good.

Westminster Abbey

Night view

🏰 Westminster Abbey, it&#39;s really shocking! 📍 It&#39;s located in central London, close to the Parliament Building and Big Ben. The church is a prominent representation of British Gothic architecture, towering spires, exquisite carvings and beautifully painted glass windows, each detail shows an unparalleled artistic charm. Walking into the church, as if through time and space, is the holy place of the crowning of the British royal family, witnessing countless important moments in history. It is also a resting place for many celebrities, and great figures such as Newton, Darwin, Dickens have slept here, making people respect their contributions. Walking around, you can feel the solemnity of religion and the deep historical and cultural heritage. The church&#39;s Henry VII chapel is exquisite, with a fan-shaped arched roof and densely carved decorations, like a fairy tale fairyland. Whether it is an architecture lover or a historical and cultural fan, Westminster Abbey is definitely worth a visit. I believe you will be deeply impressed by its charm like me. 💕 highly recommend it to everyone! 💕

The London Eye, full name British Airways London Eye, is located on the banks of the Thames in London, England. It is the world&#39;s first and as of 2005 the largest observation wheel. It is one of London&#39;s landmarks and famous tourist attractions.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
