Young America. The Daguerreotypes of Southworth & Hawes.
June 17 - Sept. 4, 2005

Other venues:
George Eastman House, Rochester, NY: Oct. 1, 2006 - Jan. 8, 2006
Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, MA: Jan. 28 - Apr. 9, 2006

Young America: The Daguerreotypes of Southworth & Hawes focuses on the refined works of Albert Sands Southworth (1811-1894) and Josiah Johnson Hawes (1808-1901). In partnership from 1843 through 1863, Southworth & Hawes took artistic portraiture to a new level beyond common commercial photography. In service of an elite and famous clientele, they worked with large 8x6-inch plate sizes, technically more challenging but aesthetically more beautiful. As their unique daguerreotypes attest, Southworth & Hawes focused lavish attention on national and international celebrities who traveled to their Boston studio, capturing likenesses in picturesque fashion.

Snapshot: From Box Brownies to Camera Phones
June 12 - September 18, 2005

This exhibition examines how family snapshots, taken by countless amateur photographers over the past hundred years, contribute a unique voice to the history of photography. Begun in 1888 with the introduction of Kodak's box camera and roll film, the snapshot provides seemingly casual information. Yet these small, vulnerable images carry powerful social codes regarding identity, gender, childhood, marriage, or leisure time. Alongside original black and white and color snapshots from the 1920s to the 1960s, MoPA adds a 21st century spin to this exhibition: a 'live feed' of camera phone images from textamerica.com will be displayed on three screens within the gallery. The exhibition asks the audience to evaluate how we picture and preserve notions of ourselves, our culture, our pasts, and a fuller investigation of the word "image."

John Szarkowski: Photographs
June 11 - September 5, 2005

John Szarkowski: Photographs, is the first major retrospective of Szarkowski’s work. One of the most influential and visible photography curators and critics of the twentieth century, Szarkowski held the position of director of photography at the Museum of Modern Art , New York , from 1962 to 1991. Less well known is the fact that Szarkowski began his career as an accomplished photographer in his own right, and has remained one to this day. The exhibition features seventy-five gelatin silver prints, including fifty of Szarkowski’s early works—pictures of the Midwest dating from 1943 until he accepted the curatorial post in 1962—and twenty-five of his later works, many of which were made around his farm in upstate New York. Though they vary in subject and date, these works present a remarkable and consistent vision. They are gentle, sophisticated pictures informed by a humanist sensibility. They depict the lived landscape, both urban and rural, and impart a sense of history, place, and the way we as Americans once regarded land.

Friedlander
June 5–August 29

This major retrospective surveys one of the most inventive and prolific careers in the history of photography. Born in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1934, Lee Friedlander upended the earnest humanism of postwar photography with his lively, irreverent glimpses of city streets and his tongue-in-cheek self-portraits of the 1960s. The offhand wit and graphic verve of those early pictures have never disappeared, but since the early 1970s the photographer’s mastery of craft, affection for tradition, and voracious curiosity have spawned a fluid stream of observation, ever more nimble and sensuous.

Lalla A. Essaydi (Boston, MA): Born in Morocco and a resident of Saudi Arabia for many years, Lalla A. Essaydi combines Islamic calligraphy and the female body to address the complex reality of Arab female identity. Essaydi's work often involves a series of photographs depicting Arab women with intricate calligraphic writing completely covering the spaces and subjects photographed. The calligraphic writing, a sacred Islamic art form forbidden to women, constitutes an act of rebellion.

Ken Rosenthal's evocative work explores issues of personal and collective memory. His series "Seen and Not Seen" is constructed from photos in his family archives. Many images that left distinct memories for him were made before he was born, and the series examines the phenomenon of memory formed by image as opposed to experience. Rosenthal's distinctive, diffused printing style strips away the specificity of place and identity from his subjects, allowing a universal reading from autobiographical material.Center for Photographic Art, San Carlos & 9th Streets (at the Sunset Cultural Center).

FACES OF THE EMPIRE: Photographs from British South Asia
Feb. 25 - April 14, 2005

Through a selection of ethnographic and portrait photographs made in India, Burma and Ceylon between about 1850 and 1945, this show explores the intersection of photography with British colonialism in South Asia. Spanning a range of genres from albumen and platinum art prints by world-class masters to vernacular snapshots by unknown tourists and soldiers, and including cartes de visite, stereoviews, postcards and glass slides, the show invites interrogation of the role, motivations and politics of the colonial photographic project. Sponsored in conjunction with South Asian Studies at Whitman and Asian Culture Month. Curated by Jon Walters.
Gallery will be closed from March 11 through March 27 for Spring Break.

In his first major show, Gary Stochl emerges as an important discovery for the Chicago photographic community. Stochl is self-taught, having worked 40 years on his own taking pictures of people as he walked the city streets. His work is sophisticated, with its own unique vision. One of the great Chicago street photographers working today. Stochl's black and white images have already been hailed as comparable to Robert Frank and Gary Winogrand.

ph15 is a workshop that puts cameras in the hands of teenagers from some of the most violent and impoverished barrios in Buenos Aires, Argentina: Villa Number 15, so-called „Ciudad Oculta" (Hidden City). ph15 is a space for creativity and self-expression through photography that gives children the opportunity to express their own viewpoints about their surroundings.

The project began in 2000, when photographer, Martin Rosenthal, met a group of kids from the barrio who wanted to learn photography. The group meets every Saturday at the Conviven Youth Center run by Valmir S. Vieira. Martin Rosenthal leads the workshop with the collaboration of photography students and professionals who volunteer their time.

ph15 workshop activities are aimed at enhancing photographic creativity. By learning how to look at and show the different realities in their lives, both individually and in groups, the teenagers are taught to fully explore their surroundings and express their own viewpoint with a unique perspective. Through attention to creativity and artistic quality, the workshop provides a venue for developing identity that contributes to improving the children‚s social and cultural conditions. It helps them to take ownership in the place where they live, to discover new places and interact with the environment. The children document their everyday lives in a spontaneous and free way that gives artistic expression and visibility to their marginalized identities.

Double Check
Feb. 5 - March 20, 2005

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue (slow./engl.) with introductory texts by Alenka Domjan, Christine Frisinghelli, and Boris Marte, as well as essays by Marina Gr¦inic and Walter Seidel, Emma Hedditch, Jan-Erik Lundström, and Marina Vishmidt."Double Check" confronts different artistic arenas and production sites within the politically and mentally changing geographies of the global world. While the past decade has focused on various field trips and attempts to explore the art production of the new and old countries, thereby often concentrating on the notion of difference as a pigeonholing marker, the new millennium has brought about the necessity to parallel various modes of artistic reflection, which are interrelated through the unhindered spreading of globalized values on mediatized ground. The rise of the global market of electronically supported media and image (re-)production has led to uniform ways of interaction, which artists reflect by demonstrating their strategies of counter action. In this respect, the medium of photography has regained importance as an artistic tool to oppose the dominance of constructed worlds and their mingling of real and fictional entities.

What can be seen as a primarily mythical form of representation, develops into a stratagem of identity constructions, whose transparency can only be mediated through the relevant social and political constellations. In their overall gestalt, the relations between the individual and the represented works emphasize simultaneously generated intellectual and artistic practices, parallel histories which have developed increasingly since the last decades.

Feb. 1 - May 1, 2005

The Dahesh Museum of Art is pleased to be the first venue to mount this extraordinary exhibition of early photographs organized by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. The invention of photography had a tremendous impact on 19th-century artists, illustrators, writers, scientists and early filmmakers. As part of the museum’s mission to explore all facets of the art world in the 19th century, First Seen offers visitors the opportunity to share in the excitement of seeing what 19th-century citizens learned of the world through the new medium of photography, and to imagine the impact that the wide dissemination of such images had upon the visual culture of the time.

Portraits of a River City: Natchez and Her People, 1851-1951
Selections from the Thomas H. and Joan Gandy Photograph Collection

What did Natchez-Under-the-Hill look like in the late 1800s? How did people dress to have their pictures taken? What tools did photographers use? How had those things changed by the 1940s? Visitors can find the answer to these questions and many more in the new exhibition, "Portraits of a River City: Natchez, and Her People, 1851 - 1951," on display in LSU's Hill Memorial Library, January 24 through April 9, 2005.

Exhibit materials are drawn from a recent acquisition of the Thomas H. and Joan Gandy Photograph Collection by the LSU Libraries' Special Collections division, made possible by the generosity of the Coypu Foundation, which was created and endowed by the late John S. McIlhenny. This extraordinary collection documents 100 years (1851 - 1951) of history in and around Natchez, Mississippi, and contains approximately 20,000 images - including wet and dry collodion glass plate negatives, film negatives, ferrotypes, and historic and modern prints, as well as nearly 100 pieces of photographic equipment, including a Norman Studio portrait camera and an array of late 19th and early 20th century cameras. Also on exhibition are over 20 hand-tinted photographs by Dr. Gandy, on loan from Joan Gandy, Natchez, Mississippi.

"Portraits of a River City" is open to the public free of charge in Hill Memorial Library on LSU Campus, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday - Friday, Tuesdays 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. On Sunday, April 3, the galleries will be open from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. as part of the annual LSU GEMs (Galleries, Exhibitions, and Museums) campus-wide open house.

Michael Kenna
Impossible to Forget: The Nazi Camps Fifty Years After

January 15 - April 10, 2005

In recent years British-born photographer Michael Kenna has made numerous trips to Germany, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic and other countries were concentration camps were built under the Third Reich. Between 1988 and 2000 Kenna photographed the camps at Auschwitz, Sachsenhausen, Dachau, Buchenwald and other locations. Time has transformed the buildings from once-active chambers of horror; some were completely destroyed before the arrival of the Allied Army, others have been cleaned up in the years since WWII and treated as memorial sites or museums. Inevitably, they have been invaded by nature, blurring the evidence of what went on there, rendering some of them unrecognizable, even ordinary, in their ruined appearance.

The composition, graphic clarity and atmosphere of Kenna's photographs confronts the viewer with the difficult paradox of our human desire for harmony, even in the fact of brutal, unimaginable facts. How does a photographer represent what is un-representable? As Borhan concludes: "Photographs are not neutral traces of a multifacated reality. They are meditations between the visible and the conscience."

Impossible to Forget: The Nazi Camps Fifty Years After is composed exclusively of photographs Kenna has donated to the French government (and now reside in the collection of the Ministère de le Culture-France). The exhibition consists of 88 works altogether. A diverse series of programs- including lectures, film screenings, and collaborative programs with the Bucks County Free Library - will be presented in conjunction with the exhibition.

CATALOGUE "Impossible To Forget" by Michael Kenna will be available at the Museum's gift shop (both in Doylestown and New Hope). Hardcover; 128 pages with 105 duotone plates; $60 for non-members; $54 for Museum members.
