 125 MAGAZINE 125 magazine is an independently published 300 page bi-annual photography publication which acts as a showcase for new work and ideas from a cross section of emerging and established artists that it is not possible to produce in more conventional publications. Since its creation in 2003, the magazine has published photography and illustration by over two hundred contributors - and staged exhibitions in London, New York and Tokyo, with other European cities upcoming. The magazine's staff work tirelessly to maintain the publication's long-established ethos of ideas, individuality and independence in a market which is increasingly generic and they are looking for like-minded businesses interested in an association with 125 as a sponsor and partner in the many events, books and other projects which they are constantly working on.

 AUTOGRAPH ABP The charity: founded in 1988, Autograph ABP is a charity that works to educate the public in photography, with an emphasis on cultural identity and human rights, through exhibitions, publishing, education and the creation of a public archive of culturally diverse photography. It is based at Rivington Place, London, the home of culturally diverse contemporary art and photography in the UK, which opened in 2007. Designed by David Adjaye OBE, this prestigious award-winning building is the first new-build public gallery in London since 1968. Autograph is constantly expanding, and has recently worked on projects with The Hayward Gallery, The South Africa National Gallery, The Barbican, Harvard University and Syracuse University (both USA), DRIK (Bangladesh), Manchester Museum and Art Gallery, Amnesty International, MTV Europe Foundation and Magnum Photos, in partnership to reach yet larger audiences. The offer: Autograph's concerns give it a special place at the centre of the British art scene - the envy of the world - with its sophisticated, urbane and educated audience. Sponsorship would provide the sponsor with access to this demographic segment, and associate them with an arts organisation that is socially aware and has a proven track record. Autograph ABP's audience figures for the year April 2008 - March 2009 were well over 500,000. The results of a 2009 spot-questionnaire for an Autograph exhibition at Rivington Place showed 68% of the audience were in work and 27% were students. 100% of those questioned rated their experience of the exhibition as either Good or Excellent. Recent press coverage included a four-page feature in the Guardian, a preview on Radio 3 Night Waves, three pages in The Independent, a full page in both Metro and The Times, a double page spread in New Humanist and numerous features and reviews in the general and art press. "Your mandate and programming is highly impressive ... the breadth of the photos both aesthetically and from the point of view of content, the associated contexts of the work, and the way the show was mounted. Wonderful, memorable, subtle, and in many ways revolutionary! Congratulations!" - Doina Popescu, Ryerson Gallery and Research Centre, Toronto, 2009; "You guys rock! The best exhibitions in the country. Cutting edge and accessible. Keep doing what you are doing and more" - Kevin McCullough, Christian Aid, 2009. Contact: Indra Khanna, Curator.

 EXPEDITION EQUUS Becky Sampson and her pony Bertie's Quest are about to embark on the journey of a lifetime to raise money for charity. Their adventure, Expedition Equus, is a four year horse ride from London to Tokyo, spanning two continents, fifteen countries and more than 15,000 kilometres. Becky believes she will be the first woman in history to undertake this incredible journey, and has already been heralded one of ten 'Great Modern Travellers'. Both horse and rider are going to visit villages built and run by SOS Children, the world's largest orphan charity, in support of whom Becky is undertaking the journey. She will take letters and pictures from schoolchildren in the UK, who are linking with SOS Children's villages en route. The adventure has been recognised by the expedition leader and travel writer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who says of the journey: "The true spirit of adventure lives on; Expedition Equus has set a great challenge and I wish them both luck and success". There has been great media interest, both nationally and internationally, and Becky has been requested interviews with media agencies throughout the ride. Filming for a documentary is already underway and a book and exhibition of photographs are planned upon completion. The expedition can be followed at www.expeditionequus.com, which currently receives over 1,000 hits a month. Contact: Becky Sampson. Tel.: 07825 738 769.

 THE FEAR OF FALLING (2008 and 2009) The Fear of Falling is a series of beautiful, timeless, life-size, underwater portraits that present new ways to consider the profound experience of submergence. Exploring our changing relationship with the present moment, the portrait's subject moves away from ethereal and floating imagery usually associated with water and offers instead a more grounded and weighted sense of being. With a gentle nod towards the Industrial Revolution and making processes surrounding that era, the portraits pose the question: could shifts in consciousness whilst immersed be akin to those experienced centuries ago? This exquisite series will be exhibited at Shunt Vaults, September 2008, an impressive venue renowned for cutting-edge work. The exhibition is supported by Arts Council England, Photofusion Photography Gallery and Underwater Action Studios, amongst other prominent businesses and organisations. An artists’ talk will be held in conjunction with Thames Festival and Metro Imaging have guaranteed a second national show in 2009. The project is the brainchild of artists Emma Critchley and Sophie Lewis. Emma’s award winning underwater photography has been recognised both nationally and internationally with exhibitions in the UK, Spain, Canada and Australia. Sophie, a pioneer of water movement therapy and expert in her field, alongside working on numerous underwater art-based projects, has received widespread recognition for her work and been featured on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, The Daily Telegraph and Time Out. Together their practice explores the human connection with water and pushes boundaries of underwater photography. Exhibition sponsors will have the opportunity to participate in a stunning artistic exhibition that seeks to inspire the general public’s imagination. The sponsor's logo will be featured on all publicity as well as being situated within Shunt itself. This will enable the sponsor to reach a young professional 18-40 audience and have their brand seen and associated with a high-end art exhibition, as well as with a very stylish and fashionable central London location. The Fear of Falling has created and will continue to create huge interest from a wide variety of sources and can therefore expect to generate maximum press coverage, offering the sponsor excellent publicity and exposure. With a guaranteed second exhibition in 2009, all advertising and publicity will reach national audiences for an extended period of time. There will also be a website created especially for the project, where exhibition sponsors will be listed with appropriate website links. Contact: Mrs Sophie Lewis. Tel.: 07961 066709.

 PATRIC OLD M.DES (RCA), 1952-2008, MEMORIAL EXHIBITION • Title: SINGULARITY [or what the F*** has Barbie got to do with post humanism?] © • Setting: RCA | Entrance Gallery | Kensington Gore | London | October 22nd-26th, 2009. At the time of his death, Patric Old was an AHRC funded DPhil candidate at the Ruskin School of Drawing & Fine Art, in collaboration with the Future of Humanity Institute, University of Oxford, Advisor, Prof Martin Kemp. The title of his project was "Visualising The New Meaning of Being Human". Patric's contribution to research on Human Enhancement challenged the generally accepted interpretation of "Singularity", with his own discovery of "Oneness" expressed in sometimes base, explicit, physical visual works informed by his privileged insight as a fine artist, having himself been on the inside of the fashion and beauty publishing and fashion doll industries. She'Baa™, the iconic, dark but beautiful character invented by Patric Old - whose Eastern fairytale metaphorically embodies commercial possibility that advances in life science are enabling - will be introduced to the London public for the first time. Patric, British by birth, was the contemporary hybrid of Hans Bellmer and Egon Schiele, leaving behind, in addition to his contribution to the evolvement and personal interpretation of Barbie, a significant collection of intimate figurative drawings, paintings, photography and digital works. Anders Sandberg, Futurist and postdoctoral research fellow at the Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, University of Oxford, has confirmed he will contribute an essay on the subject of Beauty in the post human context to the exhibition. In return for support, a private tour would be arranged and, in addition, the exhibition would provide visibility in a cultural central London location, exposure to prestigious Royal College of Art alumni, an exterior banner, opportunities for exposure in print and press coverage.
