BEUFORD SMITH: FlashPoint Boston Festival

"Acting Together: Photographing Black Lives” 

BEUFORD SMITH
October 20 / 7:00 PM

Marran Theatre @ Lesley University, Boston

Tickets

Part of FlashPoint Boston Festival and recipient the 2017 “Culture of Legacy” Focus Award at the Griffin Museum of Photography, Beuford Smith will speak about his photographic work and his role as a key figure in promoting the work of Black photographers through his role as founder of Cesaire Photo Agency and a founder and chief photo editor of the Black Photographers Annual (1973-1981). Smith is one of the great social documentary photographers that emerged from the 1960s. Smith was a founding member, and later served as president, of the group Kamoinge. In explaining this unprecedented organization, Smith said, “Kamoinge exists, as a forum of African-American photographers, to view and critique each other’s work in an honest and understanding atmosphere, to nurture and challenge each other in order to attain the highest creative level. The name comes from the Kikuyu language of Kenya, and means a group of people acting together. Its aim is to seek out the truth inherent in our cultural roots, to create and communicate these truths with insight and integrity.”

Among Smith’s work is an emotional set of photographs exploring the Black community’s anguish the day after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Never shying away from deep shadows, Smith allows these figures especially to be enveloped by darkness. Another series conveys the energy of jazz musicians mid-performance, with the subjects often silhouetted and blurred by movement amidst dramatic lighting. The photographer often seems to be grappling with the ideas of patriotism and heritage as he features various flags in many of his street scenes.

OVER 

Pumphuset Gallery, Landskrona, Sweden

Aerial photographer, Kacper Kowalski, photographed the earth just after snow had fallen and covered the landscape, turning it into a white canvas. With great attention to form, shape and pattern, Kowalski transformed the frozen landscape. Some images remind us of abstract paintings, where traces of animals or tractors looks like black brushstrokes. In others it feels like we are looking through a microscope or a telescope. The important thing is no longer to bring back proof of what the world looks like from above, neither is it important what image your eye registers mechanically.

I was fortunate to meet Kacper Kowalski at the 2016 Landskrona Photo Festival Portfolio Review. His portfolio was nominated as the best of all the work viewed by the Reviewers, and he was chosen as the Winner of the Review. His work was exhibited during the 2017 Landskrona Photo Festival until October 21, 2017.

Kacper Kowalski discovered flying 20 years ago. To him, it was like discovering an enchanted garden. He found himself paragliding with an engine strapped to his back and entered a space he didn’t have to share with anybody. He could taste and smell the wind. Flying became a drug, and photography became the justification for being up there alone amid the endlessness. There were no digital cameras or drones at that time, so the images he captured became trophies which he brought back to show those who had never seen the world from his vantage point.

However, after two decades of flying, and taken into account all the risks that he exposed himself to, he lost faith in what he was doing. How did he justify taking such risk? Did it still make sense what he was doing? Drones crowded the sky and his enchanted garden had become full of intruders.

Then came the snow and covered the landscape, turning it into a white canvas. Kowalski found another purpose. A new point of view, which was much more personal and filled with emotion. In his new series ‘Over’, Kowalski photographed the earth with great attention to form, shape and pattern, Kowalski transformed the frozen landscape. Some images remind us of abstract painting, where traces of animals or tractors look like black brushstrokes. In others it feels like we are looking through a microscope or a telescope. The important thing is no longer to bring back proof of what the world looks like from above, neither is it important what image your eye registers mechanically. For Kowalski, it is vital what your consciousness perceives. – Anzenberger Gallery

AMY ARBUS presents black and white photographs from a new series titled, ‘The Outsiders’. Taken in and around the parks in her New York City neighborhood these riveting new images capture homeless and disenfranchised people. ‘The Outsiders’ began with photographs of the Women’s March in Washington DC and continues to consider the entirety of the arc of social change happening now. Arbus’s new work offers the immediacy of photography’s capabilities to document the moment while reaching deep into the medium’s history and connecting with its Lions. As always, she offers the viewer dazzling technical and formal satisfactions while provoking story, emotion, a sense of place and time and an incomparable relationship between photographer and subject. ‘The Outsiders’ consists of ten new photographs and premiers at this exhibit. –  Schoolhouse Gallery

GRUNDEMARK NILSSON GALLERY: Free of Immediacy

© ARTISTS, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

© ARTISTS, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

"Free of Immediacy" exhibition shows the photographic works of Matan Mittwoch (born in 1982, Israel) in combination with an installation by Royden Rabinowitch(born in 1943, Canada), curated by Ory Dessau.

The exhibition Free of Immediacy seeks to bypass the basic notions underlying the canon of modernist abstraction, i.e., the idea of a direct, unmediated visual experience within an isolated field of vision. The exhibition seeks to prevail beyond the level of appearance, visibility, and form; beyond the confinements of human observation. It relates to the world in quantitative-calculative terms to undermine the totality of subjective expression and perception; yet, while disconnecting the empirical description of the world from direct experience, the exhibition also establishes an unfamiliar ground for cultural pluralism, for self- and collective-relativity. The exhibition does not pretend to be a summary of current tendencies in the contemporary art scene, but to be a preliminary outline, a proposal of a proposal.

Debbie Fleming Caffery grew up along the Bayou Teche in southwest Louisiana and still lives in the area. Early on in her career, she was inspired by the work of Dorothea Lange and many of the artists working within the FSA and Federal Arts Project of the WPA during the Depression. Like these forbears, she is interested in telling stories with her pictures, but unlike those earlier photographers, her work is as much artful as it is documentary. Her rich, and dramatic prints are the result of the deep relationships with the people and places she photographs, a visual corollary to the reverence she has for her subjects.

Caffery has photographed the sugarcane industry and its community in Louisiana since the late 1970s. She has also photographed in rural villages in Mexico for many years, creating works that draw connections between those communities and the ones in Louisiana that were so familiar to her from her own upbringing. In 2005, Caffery was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship for the work she made of women working in brothels in Mexico. In 2006, she received the Katrina Media Fellowship from the Open Society Foundations to continue to photograph the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Recently Caffery received a commission from the High Museum in Atlanta for their Picturing the South photography initiative. Her monographs include: Carry Me Home (Smithsonian, 1990), The Shadows (Twin Palms Press, 2002) and Polly (Twin Palms Press, 2004), The Spirit + The Flesh (Radius Books, 2009) and Alphabet (Fall Line Press, 2015).

This exhibition brings together two artists, Debbie Fleming Caffery and Machiel Botman, a key figure in Dutch photography, both masters of the gelatin silver print as a medium of self expression. The exhibition will open with a reception on Thursday April, 6th from 6 to 8 p.m. and run through Saturday June 3rd.

Helen Sear (b. 1955) studied Fine Art at Reading University the Slade School of Art, London. Sear's work explores ideas of vision, touch and re-presentation of the nature of experience, with particular reference to the human and animal body and her immediate environment in rural Wales and France.

Writer and curator, David Campany, described Sear as "one of photography's foremost innovators. For her the medium is one of magic as much as realism. It is never pure, fixed or entirely knowable. Each new series presents a new set of challenges that offer up her fascination with craft and our habits of looking."

Sear represented Wales at the Venice Biennale in 2015, has won several artist's awards, including The Major Creative Wales Award from Arts Council Wales (2011) and lives and works in Wales and France.

Ashok Sinha (b. 1975) was born in Calcutta, India. Since 2009, he has worked as a professional photographer in New York City. Interested in portraits, travel, and architecture, Sinha has voyaged to over forty countries photographing remote tribes, vast landscapes, and local culture.

His photographs have been published by numerous publications including National Geographic, The New York Times, and Interior Design Magazine while his fine art photography has been collected and exhibited in galleries in the United States and abroad. In 2011, he founded Cartwheel Initiative, a nonprofit organization that uses photography and creative media to help young people build bridges within their communities and across ethnic and social divisions.

Painting : Photographs by Marcia Lippman

Photographer, teacher, and native New Yorker Marcia Lippman explores the passage of time and the relationship between painting and photography in her most recent series, created over the past two years in museums in the United States and Europe. Using contemporary digital techniques, her photographs isolate small areas of concentrated emotion and gesture where history, memory, and the artist’s imagination coalesce. Lippman counts among her influences the pictorial masterpieces of the Renaissance, as well as the writings of Walter Benjamin, Rilke, and Barthes, and sees her work as a point of entry into painting through the examination of both old and new techniques and imagery. “Paint cracks are intensified, underscoring their vulnerability,” Lippman writes. “Brushstrokes are exaggerated, emphasizing the human hand that made them…My photographs reject the false perfection of the whole, and instead lay claim to the ambiguity of a single gesture.”

Marcia Lippman’s work has been the subject of two monographs, Sacred Encounters East and West (Edition Stemmle, 2000), which includes twenty years of photographs from Asia and Western Europe; and West Point (Edition Stemmle, 2001), photographs created during a year in residence at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, published for West Point’s bicentennial with an introduction by James Salter. Lippman has been the recipient of two grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts and currently teaches at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Her work can be found in the collections of the International Center of Photography, New York, NY; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; and the Center for Photography at Woodstock, NY, among other institutions and private collections. She has been exhibited regularly throughout the United States since 1985. – Nailya Alexander Gallery

Kalacharam means “culture” in the south Indian language Tamil. Julie Williams-Krishnan has been traveling regularly to Chennai in south India since 2007. These nearly annual trips are made to visit her husband’s family, who is based in Chennai. Williams-Krishnan, a caucasian originally from a small town in Pennsylvania, uses her photography as a way to observe, process, and celebrate her growing familiarity with her south Indian family and the region. The three bodies of work on display here are all shot in the family home, where Tamil is spoken, Brahmin traditions are strictly observed, cooking is elaborate, and prayer is plentiful.  Photography is her way of translating her understanding of a place that is her home, but even after all these years, remains fascinating.

Zindagi will feature solo exhibits and 3 videos by five photographers; Manjari Sharma, Priya Kambli, Dan Eckstein, Quintavius Oliver and Raj Mayukh Dam.

Priya Kampli will be exhibiting from her “Color Falls Down” series. Missouri artist, Kambli said, “My photographs, which are rooted in my fascination with my parents, visually express the notion of transience and split cultural identity caused by the act of migration.

Dan Eckstein’s “Horn Please” exhibit features the brightly decorated trucks that ply India’s country’s roads and the men who drive them.  

Quintavius Oliver is exhibiting pieces from his “Love Made Me Do It” series; what it meant for him to throw himself head first from home and into the unknown of India.

Raj Mayukh Dam will be exhibiting 3 videos on daily life in India. The three videos feature the people of Sundarban, the last ritual of “Antyesti “and the Festival of Color of Life called “Holi.”

"Nicholas Syracuse’s beautiful portraits of drifters, train hoppers, runaways and hobos are all self-portraits in a way. There is a deep sense of camaraderie between Syracuse and his subjects, both sharing the itch to remain in constant motion.” – Director’s Sam Roden and Nick Hartanto

Nicholas Syracuse, born in Arizona and raised in the DC area, studied photography at the Corcoran School of Art in DC. and The Northwest Photographic Center in Seattle. His largest series of photographs is his ongoing "Highway" project, with photographs from Seattle, San Francisco, Phoenix, Texas, South Carolina, Indiana, and many points in between. Director’s Sam Roden and Nick Hartanto made a feature documentary film "TRAVELER" about his work, that premiered to a sold-out crowd at the Ashland Independent Film Festival in Ashland Oregon last April. I came across his work recently and wanted to share some of it.
