Jessica Murray Projects is pleased to announce in the DRAWING ROOM -
“From the Woolworth Building” by Karina Aguilera Skvirsky.
Reception - Friday, October 17 from 7-10 PM.
Exhibition will run through November 24.

Karina Aguilera Skvirsky creates manipulated photographs, using passages of both color and black and white, which capture a striking yet uncomfortable sense of memory’s relationship to architecture. This series—“From the Woolworth Building”--begins with the artist’s empty, temporary studio overlooking such icons as the Brooklyn Bridge, and the US Court House, and arguably the most inescapable sight, Ground Zero. Shooting an image looking out towards the gaping hole, the artist has transfigured the color of the window frame so it gleams like gold, memorializing the sight. The empty space is illuminated while the rest of the room remains in darkness.

All work was produced while in residence at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

Margrethe Mather and Edward Weston: A Passionate Collaboration

July 19 - October 12, 2003

Margrethe Mather and Edward Weston: A Passionate Collaboration is the first exhibition to explore the complex relationship this remarkable pair shared for over a decade. They had a profound influence on each other and on the history of photography just before and after the First World War as photography teetered back and forth between pictorialism and modernism. The exhibition features 80 photographs drawn from more than 25 collections and illuminates the often-overlooked body of work of Margrethe Mather, and Weston's work from 1913 to 1925.

Edward Weston: A Vision Conserved

July 19 - October 12, 2003

The Edward Weston Archive is one of the most significant collections in the history of photography. Edward Weston: A Vision Conserved presents a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the care and preservation of this cultural treasure. The exhibition emphasizes the challenges faced in conserving fine prints and duplicating negatives, and offers a cross-section of outstanding portraits, nudes and nature studies from the wealth of Weston photographs in the collection. The culmination of a three-year project made possible by a grant awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the exhibition sets the stage for future development in preservation and conservation at the Center for Creative Photography.

Washington, D.C.:
The Art Museum of the Americas is very pleased to announce the opening of the "Public Responsibility," a group exhibit featuring fifteen contemporary photographers of the Americas. Artists representing a variety of countries- Costa Rica, the United States, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador, Uruguay, Canada and Guatemala- will be exhibiting a wide range of photographic works of recent years.

"Public Responsibility" includes a broad scope of work from artists of varying backgrounds and points of view. Amongst them is a Colombian artist, Sandra Bermudez, who takes extreme close-up photographs of her own lips. She mouthed words that are usually uttered to loved ones while taking these pictures, examining the mouth as a means of verbal and physical communication.

The Art Museum of the Americas is located on 201 18th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20006 - one block from Constitution Hall. The gallery is open Tuesday-Sunday 10 am-5 pm.

An image of the work of each artist will be available on the web at www.oas.org/museum. For more information, please contact Gregory Svitil at (202) 458-6016 or gsvitil@oas.org.

VISUAL STUDIES WORKSHOP
Young Photography: Multiple Expressions
On view by appointment only through July 31st

Young Photography: Multiple Expressions is jointly coordinated by James Holland, Lalla A. Essaydi and Deborah Jack, three of twenty fellows who participated in the prestigious twelfth annual National Graduate Seminar of The Photography Institute. The exhibition, a result of the two-week seminar that focused on cutting-edge issues in photography and visual culture, features over 40 pieces of work by the seminar participants.

The 2002 Seminar, entitled “Projected Images: Visual to Political,” organized by Cheryl Younger, Director of The Photography Institute, sought to encourage a democratic approach to the consideration of photography and to ensure the inclusion of women and minorities, whose voices are often absent from the dialogue.

In an era when the status of a photograph as a document of truth is deemed increasingly questionable, post-seminar projects, such as Young Photography: Multiple Expressions encourages students, artists and critics throughout the nation to take part in a discussion of critical issues that face young photographers. The seminar explores issues like representation, identity, feminism and spirituality, and provides a forum that helps young photographers come to grips with the power of the projected image to communicate multiple layers of meaning and encoded information. Accordingly, the participating artists employ diverse photographic means to express unapologetically subjective viewpoints.

The 2002 National Graduate Seminar Fellows and Young Photography: Multiple Expressions artists are: Carla Cioffi, Southern Illinois-Carbondale; Bradley Corman, University of Nevada, Las Vegas; Christopher D. DiCiocco, University of Colorado; Phoung M. Do, New York University; Lalla A. Essaydi, School of the Museum of Fine Arts; Myra Greene, University of New Mexico; James C. Holland, University at Buffalo and Visual Studies Workshop; Deborah Jack, University at Buffalo; Jessica Kaufman, Massachusetts College of Art; Glen Kawabata, University of New Mexico; Sonya Lawyer, University of Florida; Helen Chung Lee, University of Michigan; Andrew John Liccardo, Texas Tech University; Heike Liss, Mills College; Paul Melhado, Long Island University; Shelia Pree, Georgia State; Mark Slankard, Ohio University; Henry Tsang, University of California-Irvine; Ron Witherspoon, Georgia State University; and Danny Yahav-Brown Maryland Institute College of Art.

Visual Studies Workshop is the third venue for the exhibition, which started at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and traveled to University at Buffalo’s Anderson Gallery.

Visual Studies Workshop announces the Summer Workshop Faculty Lecture Series In association with the VSW Summer Institute the lecture series will be held every Wednesday in July and is free and open to the public.

Nathan Lyons "After 9/11"
Wednesday, July 2, 6pm at Visual Studies Workshop
Contact VSW for information about Summer Workshops
Catalogs available online: http://www.vsw.org/education/sumschedule.html

In response to the tragic events of September 11, photographer Nathan Lyons--known for his honest and often questioning depictions of American culture has created a poignant sequence of images. Photographing in small towns and large cities, Lyons has captured the extreme and often onfusing variety of responses--from deep reverence to blatant commercialism--manifested by ordinary Americans. One will marvel, for instance, at the myriad uses of American flags.

This provocative sequence of images with multiple messages is powerfully coherent and strangely disturbing. In the tradition of Robert Frank's "The Americans," these photographs will engage audiences to question the responses to this horrific event in the context of our complicated society, long with memorializing the tragic loss of so many innocent lives.

--Jock Reynolds, Director, Yale University Art Gallery

The book, After 9/11 will be published by Yale University Press in September. A traveling exhibition of the sequence is being sponsored by Lumiere Photo. Lyons, now retired to the practice of his photography, is Founding Director of Visual Studies Workshop and Distinguished Professor Emeritus.

Thomas McGovern: Grotesque

July 2 - August 2, 2003

"These are awful... I would never let him photograph me!"
said by a viewer at McGovern's first solo exhibition of portraits in 1984

The gallery is pleased to announce "Grotesque" the third solo exhibition of photographs by Thomas McGovern. "As a portrait photographer, I'm acutely aware of how sensitive people are about their looks. Try as I might, I just can't bring myself to make a flattering portrait, it's just so boring. I'm not trying to be mean to anybody, it's just that the details of how we really look, and the ability of photography to show them, are so much more fascinating than how we want to look."

Grotesque is a collection of photographic portraits from the artist's 25-year career and includes anonymous street work, pictures of friends and acquaintances, drag queens, celebrities and professional wrestlers.

Verbatim by Annetta Kapon will be playing on the board at 8410 Sunset Blvd. for the duration of the AIM on Sunset programming . Composed entirely of quotations from rejection letters received by the artist Verbatim includes such phrases as “We regret to tell you that despite the strength of your materials, we did not decide to pursue your candidacy beyond this point,” and “We had outstanding applicants, you among them, but we are forced to draw the line somewhere.” In this location – the epicenter of a notoriously competitive industry in which success is everything but rejection is the experience of most – these texts share that experience in a spirit of celebration and generosity.

Unfurling, Martha Gorzycki
Noize, Johnny Karaguez
Flicker, Brian Karl & Tirtza Even
Vis a Vis, Dennis H. Miller
ROY-G-BIV II, Gregory Scranton

Unfurling, by Martha Gorzycki: This QuickTime movie is a silent reconfiguration of the US flag in which flowing images of cars, corporate logos and wind farm windmills make up the stars and stripes. Unfurling conflates visual symbols of consumerism and the energy sources it demands with the national symbol of the world’s largest energy consumer to create an ‘electronic haiku’ that comments on both the impact of consumerism on American values and the destructive global influence of wasteful consumption.

Noize, by Johnny Karaguez: By connecting a camera to a PCU and recording the computer screen, Karaguez has, as it were, stepped aside, and bestowed ‘primary auteur’ status onto the machines and their aesthetic. He has effectively stepped aside and enabled them to generate a moving image of pre-recorded static and video feedback that looks somewhat like an elegantly mushrooming, and increasingly baroque, animated tree.

Flicker, by Brian Karl and Tirtza Even: In this digital video the small gesture of a very elderly woman resting her head on her hand is elongated and repeated through use of a time-delayed editing technique. This poignant vision of age and frailty stutters and flickers -making the content deliberately hard to see - and consequently fabricates an experience of palsied physical deterioration for the viewer.

Vis-à-vis, by Dennis H. Miller: The technique of ‘convolution’ synthesizes two elements in order to create a new, third, element, and continued application of this technique results in the generation of increasingly complex [‘convoluted’] scenarios. In Vis-à-vis Miller implements convolution as the formal governing principle for the computer generation of sounds and images. The result is both a stunningly beautiful visualization of the operation of formal principles and an increasingly complex ‘narrative’ of the interrelationship of experience, mind and memory.

ROY-G-BIV II, by Gregory J. Scranton: Scranton has digitized and radically simplified found home-movie footage and then cycled the resulting images through the colors of the spectrum [the eponymous ‘r,o,y,g,b,i,v’]. While at first it may appear that this work depicts abstract luminous pixels moving against a dark ground the pictograms quickly translate into running, swinging and playing figures. The result is both an evocation of intangible wisps of memory and an algorhythmic investigation of the ways in which we, as visual consumers, navigate our way through mediated images and experiences.

Ruben Ramirez: El Cibao
New York Public Library - Fordham Center Branch, 2556 Bainbridge Ave., Bronx, NY 10458, 718/579-4244

Date: May 6 - June 3, 2003

Ruben Ramirez examines his heritage with photographs of the people from the island known as La Republica Dominicana. He returns to his parents beloved region of El Cibao and reconnects with his culture, family and community.

He states, “my images contain stories that are serene moments in the everyday life of El Cibao area. They are intimate memories in my history, found in the gaze of a child, the curve of a farmer’s back, or in the name painted on a fruit cart. I offer these images of my heritage set upon the bare earth during a card game, in a shoe repair shop, or in the arms of a mother. My work is to interpret people absorbed in the craft of everyday life.”
