ASHOK SINHA: American Bagpipers

The series American Bagpipers depicts portraits of an Indian-American bagpipe band based in a Hindu temple in New Jersey.  The inspiration of Scottish bagpipes as the primary devotional music in the temple goes back to 1970 when the then leader of the faith,  Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa was visiting his followers in London.  While he himself was a firm believer in music as a form of devotion, it was not until he heard a local Scottish bagpipe band leading the procession of followers to a concert at Trafalgar Square that inspired Swamibapa to instruct his devotees to bring bagpipes at temple ceremonies.  Since then, similar pipe bands have been established in Nairobi, Kenya, Bolton (UK) and Secaucus, New Jersey (the one pictured here).  As one band member said, "Its a brotherhood and the band is a great way to get the younger generation involved in the temple."

158 Photographer Portraits shot by Tim Mantoani

Forward by Steve McCurry, Essay by John Reuter

20 X 24" Polaroid Portraits of leading and legendary photographers including William Claxton, Elliott Erwitt, Duane Michals, Steve McCurry, Editta Sherman, Wiliam Wegman,  Lynn Goldsmith, Greg Gorman, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, Antonin Kratochivil, Elsa Dorfman, John Delaney, Ralph Gibson and many many more...

“I chose the format for two reasons. First, it is very possible that in just a few years, film for this camera will no longer exist. Second, to me this is the ultimate view camera. If you are going to call the greatest living photographers and ask to make a photo of them and you are shooting 35mm digital, they may not take your call. But if you say you are shooting 20×24 Polaroid, they will at least listen to your pitch.” – Tim Mantoani

Le Journal de la Photographie: Interview

I said: "I have the feeling you wouldn’t want to give the literal details of where you took these photographs. I’m not even sure I want to know."

He said: "The thing about them is they are so ‘no place’. The idea of being in a plane is so much about being between places and that’s part of that state of mind I wanted to try and photograph. It’s so much about the in-between time and a mixture of feelings and emotions; I thought maybe I could make portraits of people in that state of mind you get into when you fly."

The Gitterman Gallery moved to the Art Deco style Fuller Building on East 57th Street where many of New York's elite galleries are located including Howard Greenberg, Bonni Benrubi, Amador and Nailya Alexander Gallery, among others. 

Gitterman opened their new space with an exhibition of vintage black and white photographs by Kenneth Josephson (American, b.1932). "This exhibition includes many works rarely seen and features two continuous themes in his art: his exploration of abstraction with light and his dialogue with nature. These overlapping themes have been present in Josephson’s work since his early years at the Institute of Design in the late 1950s."

"Throughout his career, Josephson has explored an impressive range of subjects and concepts, often in dialogue with each other. He seeks to increase our perspective and challenge our perceptions. He utilizes a variety of ways to make images: anything is fair game, even calling attention to the illusions he has created."

"Though much of his work deals with conceptual ideas, formal concerns are integral to his vision. His early images of the patterns of light from the elevated tracks in Chicago have a syncopated rhythm of light which is echoed in much of his work from the 1960s. It is in his exploration of the abstraction of light in nature that this rhythm is most meditative, as if nature itself is drawing with light. In his later work nature’s palette becomes more subtle and seemingly infinite."

"Kenneth Josephson began his formal photography training at the Rochester Institute of Technology, earning an Associates Degree before being drafted into the army in 1953, where he spent several months in Germany doing photolithography for aerial reconnaissance. He returned to R.I.T. immediately after to earn his B.F.A. studying under the new program head, Minor White. Josephson started his graduate studies at the Institute of Design in 1958 studying under Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. In 1960 Josephson became an instructor at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he taught until 1997."

"Josephson’s work is featured in numerous collections around the world. His publications include Kenneth Josephson (Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, 1983), Kenneth Josephson: A Retrospective (The Art Institute of Chicago, 1999), Kenneth Josephson: The First Fifty Years (Stephen Daiter Gallery, 2008), and Kenneth Josephson: Matthew (2054 Press and Stephen Datier Gallery, 2012)."
