Winter 1998

This issue of Source magazine contains a piece on the photographic archive by Justin Carville, writing by Fintan O’Toole on Robert Capa, on Marie Jo Lafontaine and on Henri Cartier-Bresson. It also contains an interview of David Byrne on the event of his show at the Ormeau Baths Gallery, Belfast. The interview is described as such – ‘The artist was tall, spare and dressed elegantly in black. His manner was open and alert, and he spoke freely, despite the fact that he had been answering questions all day. The interview was conducted to the hum of a polishing machine that has been edited out of the transcript for ease of reading.’ This issue makes a lot of design changes. It includes colour and has abandoned the ‘Volume, Number’ format.
