Great article in NYTimes here.

Unbelievable! Cannot begin to explain the sensations of elation, content, disbelief, confusion, and stunning disorientation that this show radiates, no pun intended. It's a must see, even with the long lines and wait time. And please, do stay in there as long as you can to experience the shift of time and light - I wanted to live in that space. It may possibly be this year's "The Clock" exhibit, ironically also around the same time last year.

SVA has an exciting spring line-up of talks called Art in the First Person - 23 Talks with Artists, Critics and Curators. Have a look at he formidable list here. We are especially looking forward to Max Kozloff's talk below :

Tuesday, February 21, 6:30pm

Max Kozloff: As Luck Would Have It:

The Element of Chance in Photography

SVA Theatre, 333 West 23 Street
Photography may be considered the ideal medium for fishing out things, appearances and events that don't make sense or otherwise defy reason. In this lecture art historian and critic Max Kozloff will discuss the havoc wreaked upon the notion of story in photography by writers sympathetic to the element of chance, maintaining that as an explanatory principle to explain what happens, chance explains nothing. This will be illustrated by various photographs featuring the smiles of women. Presented by the MFA Photography, Video and Related Media Department.

Ai Weiwei : On Photography

2011-12-21T10:01:00.004-05:00

...some thoughts for the holidays.

(originally posted on his blog on February 11, 2006)

If we reflect on the history of photography, we realize it has been widely accepted as a medium of artistic expression only for roughly twenty years. Prior to that, it was treated as a purely technical means of recording history.

In recent years, in the development of the photographic arts, various elements such as plot, color, chiaroscuro, and compositional narrative have maintained a parallel development relationship to the methods and characteristics of Western painting. It remains difficult for photography to break free from being habitually recognized as an arbitrator, but this historical misunderstanding originates from much deeper ancient and enduring philosophical issues, such as: what is reality, is it possible to record reality? Or, what is the nature of the relationship between truth and reality?

Evidently, such conclusions lean towards the interpretation of photography as merely an illusion, something that falls short of reality's reflection. The material existence of such an illusion furthermore becomes another kind or irrefutable reality. It doesn't matter if this material's features are dynamic or static, black and white or color, large or small, or realized via chemicals or binary code- whenever photography occurs, it is endowed with all the characteristics of an independent material, proving that photographs as objects themselves are identical to any previously existing object. Despite the fact that photographs appear to have originated in the process of documenting the object that is being photographed, the real documentation of this so-called objectivity has a greater attraction and a dualistic nature. It is even more unfaithful to reality, calling our physiological feelings and fundamental means of expression into question.

Photography is a deceitful and dangerous medium; and medium is method, it is significance, a ubiquitous feast of hope, or a hopelessly impassable ditch. In the end, photography is unable to either record or express reality, it rejects the authenticity of the reality that it presents, making reality even more remote and distant from us. People from East Asia are inclined toward another possible aesthetic attitude: they rarely see artistic activities as a means for understanding, or they rarely show an interest in the topic; instead, the process of achieving understanding itself and the means of expressing this understanding are seen as the ultimate essence. This essence is precisely our mental outlook on the world, and as for the reality of the outside world, that is even more of an illusion.

The universe's reality is limited and ruthless; humankind's reality is comparatively psychological and emotional, indeterminate, difficult to ponder, idealistic, and self-centered. As for a familiarity with the self, isn't being cognizant of one's own personal feelings and psychology even more perplexing and fascinating?

An Evening with Diane Arbus and Marvin Israel

Historic lecture by Diane Arbus [1970] and screening of Who is Marvin Israel? [200

Thursday, December 15th, 7:30pm
SVA Theatre, 333 West 23rd Street, New York

Who is Marvin Israel? [2005] is a short documentary on the life and work of the enigmatic Marvin Israel (1924–1984), artist, designer, art director, and teacher. Israel's influence on Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, and Lee Friedlander, among others, is explored in the words of those who knew him. Directed by Neil Selkirk.

The Slide Show and Talk by Diane Arbus is an original audio recording of a 1970 slide presentation by Diane Arbus in which she speaks about photography using her own work and other photographs, snapshots and clippings from her collection. Compiled and edited by Neil Selkirk, Doon Arbus, and Adam Shott. (via)

Chorography : In Search of the New American Landscape

2011-10-31T14:52:00.005-04:00

Chorography : In Search of the New American Landscape, curated by Sam Barzilay, opens today at the Athens Photo Festival. We are excited to be one of 4 artists in the show.

Industrial Park Cave Route, Kansas City, KS 2008

A term first encountered in Ptolemy's "Geographia", and more recently rehabilitated by German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen,
chorography's
purview has always been the provision of a systematic, detailed description and analysis of a region - pushing against the rigid boundaries of geography by seeking to record more than mere topography.

In her book "Tooth for an Eye",
Deborah Luster
expands upon this concept, eloquently defining chorography as "a form of geography that describes the inherent attributes of a place. These attributes may be physical, sociological, conceptual, metaphysical or sensory".

Heavily influenced by geography throughout its brief history, the shaping of America's socio-political landscape has developed distinct cultural fault lines - ranging from the North-South ideological divide, to the "rugged individualism" credo of the West - that continue to influence social attitudes throughout each region.

And it is along these fault lines, at the crossroads of geography and human experience that our photographers' subjects lie, each inhabiting their own liminal state: between the physical and digital realms; between land and sea; between racial divisions; between loads. For it "is in these cracks, in the interstices of social structure, that [we] are most aware of [ourselves]" (La Shure, 2005).

Providing a visual exploration of the shifting social landscape in America - at a time of heightened economic uncertainty and social alienation - the exhibition
"Chorography: In Search of the New American Landscape"
features photographs by Joni Sternbach, Nate Larson & Marni Shindelman, Matt Eich, and Tribble & Mancenido.

The Role of Women in Photography: Are We There Yet? Is the title of this panel discussion that explores the ways in which women’s roles in photography, since its inception in the early 19th century, have changed, been stymied, or are approaching egalitarianism in an age where “facebook” can topple a government, cell phones double as cameras, image creation is ubiquitous, and anyone with a computer and a phone line can post his or her personal global gallery.

Moderated by Elisabeth Biondi, independent curator and former long-time Visuals Editor at The New Yorker, distinguished panelists include Vince Aletti, photography critic for The New Yorker and columnist for Photograph; Martine Fougeron, fine art, editorial and portrait photographer; Lisa Kereszi, fine art photographer and lecturer at the Yale School of Art; Lyle Rexer, curator, writer and lecturer in photography and Sarah Silver, fashion photographer.

"Every year, six million pilgrims journey towards the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City. During the pilgrimage, the faithful bring some representation of the Virgin of Guadalupe from home, whatever the medium, and carry it on their backs to the holy place for it to be blessed (...) The accumulation of characters, and the beauty and strangeness of the items they carry, create and exceptional series that helps us visualize the intensity of this belief." (via)

We were fortunate to attend Stephen Mayes' conversation last night and found that the exhibition is best digested in further engagement beyond walls and the internet. It's an ongoing, pertinent conversation that we are all a part of, a shift between physical/digital and how culture is affected by that transition. You can also catch some of the conversations on the site here.

George Beacher, b. 1920, Achnasheen, Scottish Highlands, and Patricia Beacher, née Dixon-Foster, b. 1920, Shrewsbury, England; active as artists on the South Coast of England, 1958–1965. After meeting at Nottingham University in 1955 (married 1956), the Beachers began to develop their body arrangements as a series of tableaux performed annually at various locations in the South of England. Documented in photographs, these works were bound into a number of albums, each taking its title from the town where the actions took place. Of the original seven or more albums, only one, The Abbotsbury Album, has survived intact. Geo. Beacher, who practised as an accountant, died in 2004, but since the album was discovered in 2010 there has been much speculation on their aesthetic intentions. US historian Professor Pascal Zehn was discovered to have forged similar albums and passed them off as Beacher originals. (via)

Daniele Tamagni & Africolor

2011-08-15T10:52:00.002-04:00

"Africolor" - the exhibition - looks at the connections in photography between Africa, color, and color photography. While Africa as a subject has attracted and inspired photographers since the invention of photography, because of the obvious financial and technical issues involved – photographing Africa in the 19th century was largely a European endeavor. By the middle of the 20th century, however, photography both as a business and a means of artistic expression was beginning to flourish across the African continent. (via)

It is clear from Sidibé’s photographs that what the youth in Bamako wanted most in those days was James Brown and the freedom and existential subjectivity that linked independence to the universal youth movement of the 1960s…. These photographs are speaking to me now, not only as important aesthetic documents on the culture of the 1960s, but also as documents that both problematize the narrow meaning of nationalism extent at that time, and open the door for Pan-African and diasporic aesthetics through rock and roll.

Harlem Postcards at The Studio Museum of Harlem

2011-07-14T02:23:00.003-04:00

We are humbled to have been commissioned by The Studio Museum of Harlem for their Harlem Postcards Summer 2011 project.

I Love You, Harlem 2011

Throughout the twentieth century, Harlem has been regarded as a beacon of African-American history and culture. Sites such as the Apollo Theater, Abyssinian Baptist Church, and Malcolm X Corner at 125th Street and Seventh Avenue serve as popular postcard images that represent significant places and moments in this community. Today, Harlem continues to evolve as a center of history and culture. Everyday, changes are witnessed by its residents and experienced by tourists and visitors from all over the world. Harlem Postcards, an ongoing project, invites contemporary artists of diverse backgrounds to reflect on Harlem as a site of cultural activity, political vitality, visual stimuli, artistic contemplation and creative production. Representing intimate and dynamic perspectives of Harlem, the images reflect each artist’s oeuvre with an idiosyncratic snapshot taken in, or representing, this historic locale. Each photograph has been reproduced as a limited-edition postcard available free to visitors. (via)

Ai Weiwei : New York Photographs 1983-1993

2011-07-12T12:11:00.004-04:00

“The New York I knew no longer exists. ... Looking back on the past, I can see that these photographs are facts, but not necessarily true. ... The present always surpasses the past, and the future will not care about today.”
— Ai Weiwei, 2008

Asia Society Museum presents an exhibition of 227 photographs taken by famed Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei, capturing the history, culture, and atmosphere of 1980s New York from his unique perspective.

The exhibition marks the first time Ai Weiwei's New York Photographs series is being shown outside of China. (via)

Taryn Simon : A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters

2011-06-30T15:40:00.006-04:00

A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters was produced over a four-year period (2008-11), during which Simon travelled around the world researching and recording bloodlines and their related stories. In each of the eighteen ‘chapters’ that make up the work, the external forces of territory, power, circumstance or religion collide with the internal forces of psychological and physical inheritance. The subjects documented by Simon include feuding families in Brazil, victims of genocide in Bosnia, the body double of Saddam Hussein’s son Uday, and the living dead in India. Her collection is at once cohesive and arbitrary, mapping the relationships among chance, blood, and other components of fate. (via)

In Tandem : Picture CoNsEqUeNcEs : Joseph Maida and Katie Murray

2011-06-22T13:44:00.005-04:00

Picture CoNsEqUeNcEs is the culmination of a 90-day photographic conversation in which Joseph Maida and Katie Murray exchanged new and archived pictures online. Taking into consideration the rise of the Internet as the primary platform for "reading" photographs and the current zeitgeist of working among genres and formats, Maida and Murray's resulting exhibition re-contextualizes their work and attests to their shared belief in the power of photographic pictures as potent language, metaphor, riddle, and game.

film still

“Autumnal, verging on wintry, CANDY MOUNTAIN is a film of off-putting attitude and unobtrusive splendor. This Robert Frank/Rudy Wurlitzer collaboration resurrects the ghost of beatnik aspiration – it’s as mocking and elegiac as befits the testament of two reclusive counter-culture heroes. … As beautiful as it is mannered, as sad as it is funny, [this] is a film about the end of the road, the end of America, the end of Endsville. Incandescently nondescript, this may be the first movie to make Canada seem uncanny.”
