Saturday, November 07 - 10:00AM to 10:55AM
Clemson One Building
In the late 1990’s, with a small grant from his college at Clemson University, Sam Wang collaborated with Vladimir Nikitin, professor of photography at the St. Petersburg University, visiting professor at Clemson that year, made digital scans from the original negatives and created a platinum portfolio. The small original negatives in very poor condition made by the Russian painter Alfred Eberling, were of street scenes in St. Petersburg during the end of the 19th century.
In 2009, Sam met Hu Zhenbing, faculty at the Harbin Academy of Fine Arts, who documented the lives of falconers from the Manchu minorities living in the remote northeast regions of China. Sam digitally processed the files, resulting in an exhibit in November of 2015, at the Nanjing University of the Arts.
In 2014 Sam wrote and co-edited HANDCRAFTED: Art and Practice of the Handmade Print, published in China, with colleagues Sandy King, professor emeritus of Clemson University, Prof. Christina Z. Anderson of Montana State University, and Prof. Zhong Jianming of the University of the Arts in Nanjing, China. A second edition has already been published by the Zhejiang Photographic Publishers in China.
