Title	Cockpit Gallery Holborn Exhibition List
Description	Cockpit Gallery Exhibition List, July 1979–July 1989. This 2 page computer-typed and printed list of exhibitions held at Cockpit Gallery, July 1979-July 1989. It is not quite clear when this list was produced. It may have been produced retrospectively, whilst the Cockpit Gallery Archive was held with PARC [The Photography and the Archive Research Centre, at LCC] It corresponds to the majority of the material held in CPG/2 Cockpit Gallery Exhibition and Research Files. The list in some cases has helped to date the exhibition material. However the exact date of the creation of this list is unknown. [It may even date from a later research project undertaken by the Photography and Archive Research Centre.] There are a few exhibitions on the list where there does not appear to be any material in the archive, at the time of the archive's accession to ASCC, such as Peter Kennard's exhibition 'Despatches', from 1984 - which is actually held in the Camerawork Archive and may have been produced originally as a Camerawork exhibition. There are also other research files in CPG/2 which are not included in this list. There are also some exhibitions which do not appear on the list and there is not material in this collection, but secondary sources have reproduced posters for them, such as: 'Who's Still Holding the Baby?', Cockpit Gallery, Sept 1980, see https://hackneyflasherscollectiveblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/cockpit-gallery-poster2.jpg 'Keeping in View, March 1985', [The poster is reproduced in Andrew Dewdney and Martin Lister's essay, 'Photography, School and Youth culture,' 1986 in Stevie Bezencenet and Philip Corrigan, Photographic Practices: Towards a Different Image, London, Comedia, 1986].
