04/04- 05/31/08 |
Bangladesh 1971
A photographic exhibition and film season that focuses on one of South Asia’s most significant political events: the foundation of Bangladesh as an independent state.
The Bangladesh war of independence in 1971 was one of the bloodiest conflicts in living memory. In an attempt to crush forces seeking independence for what was then East Pakistan,
the West Pakistani military regime unleashed a systematic campaign of violence that resulted in the deaths of thousands of Bangalis. Many of the photographs from the unique collection
of the Drik archives will be shown in the UK for the first time.
In 266 days Bangali, hill people and Adivasi resistance fighters and their allies defeated the military forces of Pakistan. The result was the birth of a new nation - Bangladesh -
and the dismemberment of Pakistan.
It was only after the 16th of December 1971 when Pakistani troops surrendered in East Pakistan, that Bangladeshis began to realise the scale of the atrocities committed during the
previous nine months.
1971 was a year of national and international crisis in South Asia. The history of Bangladesh is implicitly tied to the partition of India in 1947 and therefore the tragic events of
1971 are linked to Britain’s colonial past. For Bangladesh, ravaged by the war and subsequent political turmoil, it has been a difficult task to reconstruct its own history.
It is only during the last few years that this important Bangladeshi photographic history has begun to emerge.
Now decades after the war, Autograph ABP in collaboration with Drik presents a historical photographic overview of Bangladesh 1971 at Rivington Place.

This solo exhibition includes images from his long-term project considering issues of identity, loss, and attachment played out within an adoptive family. The project began on a flight to
St. Petersburg, Russia in 2001 with his wife and 8 year-old biological son to adopt a 4 year-old child. In his statement Bill, aan ward-winning photographer, asserts that,
"...this project was conceived out of a curiosity about the life of this one child and quickly developed into a project about two. Personal loss is an immutable fact grounding any adoption story. It is cause for both concern and speculation.
And yet, I could not look at one child without looking at the other, seeing one bright promise rubbing against another. A Nickel and a Kopek is a parent's personal testament, offered without
apology. It is a project however, where I have attempted to balance the motives of an observer with those of a participant, seeking the universal in the particular."
Images from Bill's series were selected for exhibition this spring at Calvin College in Michigan, were chosen by The Danforth Museum for their New England
Photographers biennial exhibition in 2003, and won first prize from the Texas Photographic Society National Competition in 2002.

We would like to invite you view PROJEKT30's exciting new exhibition: FICTION, LIES, AND EVASION
Go to http://www.projekt30.com/fiction_lies_and_evasion.php to go directly to the artwork!
Or if you'd like to have a look around at our other exhibitions go to http://www.projekt30.com and follow the links there.
We've been in operation since 2003, so there are thousands of artworks by hundreds of very talented artists.
PROJEKT30 is an artist run arts organization, operating continuously for over 5 years. Our mission is to expose artists to "brick and mortar" galleries interested in
presenting their work, private collectors, patrons, or even simply just art lovers. All of our exhibitions are "publicly juried", meaning that site visitors construct the final
exhibition by rating the artwork's merit. Via this system we are helping shape the art world of the twenty-first century, and endeavoring to encourage broader public interest in the fine arts.

EXPOSURE: The 13th Annual PRC Juried Exhibition
The next exhibition at the
Photographic Resource Center at Boston University is EXPOSURE: The
13th Annual PRC Juried Exhibition (May 23 - July 2, 2008). This
national juried photography competition is highly-regarded and a
great opportunity to discover new talent and ideas in the
photographic arts. The opening reception is Thursday, May 22 from
5:30 - 7:30pm.
The PRC was honored to have Lesley A. Martin, Publisher of Aperture
Foundation's Book Program as the 2008 guest juror. Ms. Martin
selected 14 artists out of a total 376 international submissions -
the largest number of entries ever received in the exhibition's
history. Several key themes emerged in the work of this year's
selected artists, including conflict, community, commerce, work,
expectations, and family. For more information, including the
selected artists and links to their web sites, please visit
www.prcboston.org/juriedexhibition.htm
For the exhibition, we ask our jurors to select several images from
each submitted series, thus representing their work more fully.
Over 3700 images were submitted in total; about 40 pieces will be
on display. A special spread on the show will appear in the summer
issue of the PRC's newsletter, in the loupe. As PRC membership
extends over New England and beyond, this is a great opportunity to
view topics in which contemporary minds are engaged and often an
important first step for an emerging artist.

"Chelsea Hotel Through the Eyes of Photographers"
You Are Invited To
Celebrate the 125th Anniversary of the Chelsea Hotel
"Chelsea Hotel Through the Eyes of Photographers"
Curated by Linda Troeller and David Elder
Friday May 9 noon to 6pm
General Opening 6-8pm
Saturday May 10 noon to 5pm
Sunday May 11 noon to 5pm
Chelsea Hotel Ballroom 1st Floor Lobby
222 West 23rd St. New York, New York
The Chelsea Hotel turns 125 this year and to celebrate its anniversary, photographer and Hotel resident Linda Troeller, curated the exhibit, "Chelsea Hotel Through the Eyes of Photographers,"
collaborating with Hotel Vice President David Elder. The show features work from over sixty photographers shot in and of this iconic Hotel ranging from historic images of residents such as
Virgil Thomson, Patti Smith and Dee Dee Ramone to the edgy and atmospheric. “With so much of New York City history vanishing, these photographs testify to the pivotal value of the
proliferation of culture generated at an artist-oriented place,” said Ms. Troeller.
The exhibit, in the ballroom of the Hotel, is on view for the May 9th from noon to 6pm and general opening 6-8pm;
May 10th Saturday from noon to 5pm and Sunday May 11th from noon to 5pm.
The Hotel Chelsea, a legendary bastion of creativity, has often stood in the eye of New York City's cultural storm. The ghosts from the Hotel's earlier days saw Arthur Miller hide away to write in a back apartment following his
divorce from Marilyn Monroe; Janis Joplin “talk so brave and sweet” to Leonard Cohen; and Ralph Gibson print his photographs for his first Lustrum photography book in his tiny kitchenette.
The Hotel Chelsea is located at 222 West 23rd Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues, near the E, C, F, and 1 trains.
Photographers featured in the show are from New York City and around the United States, Finland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, England, Canada, and Mexico.

The Skylar Fein Show
The Jonathan Ferrara Gallery is proud to present "The Skylar Fein Show," a solo exhibition by Skylar Fein. The exhibition will be on view from April 25 through May 19,
with an opening reception on Saturday, May 3, from 6 -10pm at Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, 400a Julia Street, in the New Orleans Arts District.
"The Skylar Fein Show" is a socially charged exhibition of works using imagery and icons that refer to the ethics of a remembered, imagined, or possibly lost New Orleans.
In this much anticipated solo exhibition by one of the acclaimed "rising art stars" of the city, Skylar reaches beyond New Orleans and addresses the United States as a whole, drawing
attention to the peculiarities of our societal make-up that describe who we are today. His imagery draws from popular and subcultural icons, including presidential silhouettes,
American flags, Miss America, Jean Paul Sartre, Andy Warhol, and Julian Schnabel. Skylar Fein is one of the selected artists to participate in this year's Prospect 1 biennial,
organized by internationally renowned curator Dan Cameron.
"The Skylar Fein Show" will be on exhibit from April 25 through May 31, 2008 with an artist's reception on Saturday, May 3, from 6 -10pm at Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, 400a Julia Street,
New Orleans, 70130. For images or more information, please contact gallery director Mia Kaplan, at 504-522-5471 or via e-mail: mia@jonathanferraragallery.com.

Curator's talk: Saturday, April 12, 2008, 11:00 am
In their works, Aneta Grzeszykowska (PL) and Wolfgang Prinz / Michel Gholam (D/LB) refer to icons of art history. Both work with the devices of self-enactment and also share a playful
handling of the process of appropriation and reinterpretation: However, while Grzeszykowska raises questions concerning mastery and originality, Prinz Gholam's work focuses on the ideality
of painting, that they attempt to live. Both positions provoke an anarchy of images.

Mentors
SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS PRESENTS “MENTORS”
A SELECTION OF WORKS BY EMERGING PHOTOGRAPHERS GUIDED BY LEADERS IN THE FIELD
April 11 – 26, 2008
Reception: Monday, April 14, 6 – 8pm
Visual Arts Gallery
School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents “Mentors”, an exhibition of works by nearly 80 photography students inspired by their year-long mentorship with key figures in the arts community.
Drawn from the ranks of New York City’s best-known photographers, curators, art directors, publishers, art dealers, critics and writers, SVA’s mentors are paired with students based upon
their field of expertise and the student’s area of concentration. The 2007 – 2008 program mentors include Rolling Stone director of photography Jodi Peckman, photography critic Vince Aletti,
illustrator Maira Kalman, gallerist Edwynn Houk, fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, and photographers Lorna Simpson, Tina Barney, and Gregory Crewdson, among others.
The Mentors program at SVA was established in 1992 to introduce new talent to the New York City arts community and to cultivate relationships between established and emerging artists.
Stephen Frailey, chair of the BFA Photography Department and curator of the exhibition, explains, “Our mentors come from the forefront of their fields and the advice they can offer our
students is invaluable. It inspires them to take their work to a new level and to grow as professional artists.”
At the School of Visual Arts, undergraduate students are offered a full range of options in the study of photography: commercial, fine art, fashion and documentary. The department is
equipped with state-of-the-art technical facilities; a faculty of nearly 100 members, including not only working photographers but photo editors, critics, publishers and photography
dealers; and a curriculum that integrates photographic genres, identities and ambitions, removing the traditional barriers between “art photography” and “commercial photography.” SVA’s
diversity in curriculum and the faculty’s wealth of professional experience offer students the freedom and support to explore different directions in photography.
School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City is an established leader and innovator in the education of artists. >From its inception in 1947, the faculty has been comprised of
professionals working in the arts and art-related fields. SVA provides an environment that nurtures creativity, inventiveness and experimentation, enabling students to develop a strong
sense of identity and a clear direction of purpose.
The Visual Arts Gallery, located at 601 West 26th Street between 11th and 12th Avenues, 15th floor, is open Monday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm; closed on Sundays and public holidays.
Admission is free. The gallery is accessible by wheelchair. For further information, please call 212.592.2145.
Media Contact: For more information, visuals or to arrange an interview with Stephen Frailey or one of the mentors, please call Keri Murawski, publicist, 212.592.2164, or

Mary Daniel Hobson: Evocations
April 4, 2008 - June 3, 2008
Mary Daniel Hobson’s new work entitled Evocations is a series of intimate still lives exploring various states of mind. Says Hobson, “These images come from a quiet place and a desire to
play. I build simple constructions into bottles, and, like puppets, they perform under foglight against a backdrop of old maps and botanical drawings. They aim not to tell a story, but to
evoke a mood or a state of mind.” Rather than title the images and weigh them down with definite meaning, the images are simply numbered to leave the mystery of their emotion intact.

The Art of Diorama
March 26 - June 8, 2008
601 civic drive walnut creek, ca 94596 925/295-1417
http://www.bedfordgallery.org
The Bedford’s exhibition The Art of Diorama, presents twenty-two artists who transform an enclosed area—ranging in size from a matchbox to a small room—using sculpture, painting, video, and
photography. The artists construct life-like environments or habitats blending real and imagined elements to capture a single and arrested moment in time. The Art of Diorama is a diverse
show that will encourage people to interact with and in their surroundings, or simply peer into captivating miniature worlds.

"Critical Encounters"
(The Digital Research of Todd Walker from 1981-1998)
The 1980s were a critical time in the exploration of digital photographic manipulation and Todd Walker (1917 - 1998) was a pioneer in that realm. This exhibit examines a
sampling of his groundbreaking experimentation. This work has never been exhibited before and presents a rare opportunity for viewing the historical evolution of the digital realm.
Todd Walker was a professor of photography at the University of Arizona, Tucson, the University of Florida, Gainesville, and taught courses through the UCLA extension.
Walker is in the permanent collection of the Museum on Modern Art, New York, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, France, the Chicago Art Institute
and many other significant public institutions.
March 11, Tues. eve. 6:30 - 8 pm - Melanie Walker, daughter of Todd Walker and photography associate professor, CU Boulder, will lecture & present an overview of her father's
work.
The exhibit will be curated by Sandy Lane Associate Professor Metropolitan State College of Denver and University of Colorado Associate Professor of Art Melanie Walker.

________________________________________
This exhibition includes videos, drawings, photographs, sculptural
objects, and interactive installations.
My artistic interests reside in defining and redefining women's
issues in ways that are both informational and confrontational, and
yet accessible to a diverse audience. In pink, I bring together
anatomy lessons with intentionally charged imagery and text to produce
a new forum of discussion on what it is to be a woman- physically,
socially, and psychologically. I am intrigued by taboo subjects and
the general avoidance of their mention. Individual pieces in this
series are inspired by stories from women and men relating common
misconceptions of the physical mechanics of their body parts, as well
as my own experiences in learning how my body and my mind truly work.
Other pieces encourage reflection on and reconstruction of accepted
social definitions of "feminine", "womanhood", and "equality," and a
questioning of who is, and who should be, in control of these
definitions.
The work created for this exhibition stems from my experience of
regularly being addressed as "Sir" since moving to the South. I have
always been a tall woman with short hair, a relatively low voice, and
a confident presence. This constant questioning of my femininity
leads me to explore the standards of femaleness and the gendered
indoctrination systems in place during my childhood. My mother was a
product of the fifties. Her mother trained her well. I see the
ideals of the fifties feminine identity as an alter ego of sorts to my
own feminist existence. Something went awry during my
training. Where did she go wrong?
I am interested in engaging my viewer physically as well as
visually. Through the performance of a physical act of repeated
ritual, as in practicing perfect posture or styling the perfect
hairstyle, or of confessed vulnerability, as in exposing a lie, the
viewer engages more deeply in the work as well as the ideas behind the
work. In addition, each piece changes as the number of participants
grows, with the addition of comments, reactions, impressions, or
artifacts. Their interaction completes each piece.

Chaffey College and the Wignall Museum are pleased to present
Inlandia. Like the 2007-2008 College Book of the same name, Inlandia
assembles a group of artists who explores disparate ideas that make
the Inland Empire a place with a cultural landscape all its own. The
artists in Inlandia are based in TX, MN, OR, NY and CA, but regardless
of their proximity to the Inland area, their works are informed
directly by this regions political or social landscape or investigate
ideas relevant to the IE community. In Inlandia explores the Inland
Empire's status as the fastest growing region in Southern California,
the resulting suburban sprawl and ecological impact on the area, the
beauty and inspiration of the landscape in the sprawling IE territory,
and the characters that make this region unique and diverse. Artists
utilize various media to comment on, record and realize the Inland
Empire.

Diane Bush: Warheads
“WARHEADS”, the exhibit and book will be featured at Summerlin Library Gallery from January 3 – March 2,
with a free reception, talk and book signing January 3, 5pm-8pm. Three new prints from the series will be
shown, along with a more formal installation of C-prints. Previous shows in Buffalo and at the Contemporary
Arts Collective in Las Vegas consisted of styrene traveling prints. The monograph, WARHEADS, photographs
by Diane Bush will no longer be available after April of this year, but will be available at the exhibition
reception, while they last.
Diane Bush has just been awarded a $1,000 Jackpot! Grant to participate in the International biennial
FOTOFEST Photography Festival. Bush will spend six days with internationally renowned photography
publishers, curators, consultants, collectors, editors, reviewers, and gallery owners, at a massive portfolio
review process called The Meeting Place. Because the Meeting Place has become so popular over the years,
a lottery was developed to choose which applicants could attend. Luckily, Bush was accepted through the
lottery draw to take part. A previous visit to FOTOFEST in the early 1980’s garnered Bush published articles in
CAMERA AUSTRIA, PF, and other European publications, as well as a meeting with the famed European
photo collector, Helmut Gernsheim, who bought several of Bush’s TRUE BRIT prints.

Dawoud Bey: Class Pictures
"I think what has been driving and directing my work for a long time is this idea that through making pictures of young people I can
affect viewers in such a way that they too can become invested in these subjects.”
—Dawoud Bey
Dawoud Bey’s teenage subjects defy stereotypes of American youth during this complicated age. For Class Pictures, Bey photographed young
people from all parts of the economic, racial, and ethnic spectrum in both public and private high schools in Detroit; Lawrence and Andover,
Massachusetts; Orlando; San Francisco; and New York City. Bey spent three to four weeks in each school, taking formal portraits of individual
students, each made in a classroom or other school setting during one forty-five-minute period. The resulting portraits—forty-by-thirty-inch
color prints—are arresting both compositionally and psychologically. At the start of the sitting, each subject writes a brief autobiographical
statement. By turns poignant, funny, or harrowing, invariably deepening our appreciation for young adults facing the challenges of the
twenty-first century, these revealing words are an integral part of the project. Together, the words and images in Class Pictures offer
unusually respectful and perceptive portraits that establish Dawoud Bey as one of the best portraitists at work today.
Dawoud Bey (born 1953, New York) earned his MFA from Yale University School of Art and is professor of photography at Columbia College
Chicago. He has been featured in numerous exhibitions—including a mid-career survey at Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, in 1995—and has
received several awards, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He is represented by
Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Chicago and Howard Yezerski Gallery, Boston.
The photographs in the accompanying exhibition are chromogenic prints made by Duggal, New York. Class Pictures was organized by Aperture
Foundation. This project was made possible, in part, with generous support from Agnes Gund and Daniel Shapiro. Additional support was
provided by Sandra and Jack Guthman, Scott and Willa Lang, Susan and Lewis Manilow, and Madeline Murphy Rabb.

OPENING: January 25th, 7 - 10 PM
Special Belly Dancer Performance
LOCATION: Project Space Gallery, Plant Zero

Richmond, VA 23224
CONTACT: Anne C. Savedge, 748.4647
Color and Motion: Belly Dancers, works by Anne C. Savedge, will be on
exhibit at Project Space Gallery, Plant Zero from Jan.25th to Feb. 17th
2008. The exhibition showcases Savedge's digitally created color
photographs, which are created using a digital camera and often altered
using Photoshop.
The opening on Jan. 25th will include a special performance by local belly
dancers. The dancers are from all over the Metro Richmond Area and will be
performing throughout the evening from 7 to 10 PM. Admission is free.
Savedge's photographs explore the light, motion and color of the dance. The
colorful work is of performers who are dressed to emphasize the fluidity of
the dance. Some of the shots were done using a slow shutter speed to
capture and create unique shapes and swirls where the skirts, hair and veils
would move. Some of the images were manipulated to show the grace and
color, to combine multiple images and create a new way of looking at the
dance.
These events often take place in restricted places such as restaurants,
where there is no control over backgrounds or lighting, so they require
added light to capture the image. Occasionally images are combined into a
separate image which alters the relationship of the parts. Some dance
performances are done on stage with more consistent lighting, so the
manipulation is done with the camera during the shoot and little is done
later on the computer.
An award-winning artist, Savedge received the 2001 - 2002 Professional
Artists Fellowship from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the 1999
Individual Artists Fellowship from the Virginia Commission for the Arts for
her work. Currently, she teaches photography and digital imaging at the
Chesterfield Technical Center, and has taught at the Studio of the Virginia
Museum of Fine Arts, and the University of Richmond. Her work is in the
permanent collections of the Chrysler Museum, the Center for Photography at
Woodstock, The Polaroid International Collection, Capital One, the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond, and The Art Museum of Western Virginia. She has
recently shown her work in New York, China, Korea, Brazil and London.
