May 2012 Photo Notes The Newsletter of the Park West Camera Club! Photo Notes Our 75th Year May/June 2012 Presidentʼs Letter Presidential Politics You all know I plan to step down as PWCC Presi- dent at the end of this Club year. I am disappoint- ed that so far no potential successor has presented him/herself. When I consider all the national press about the US presidential campaigns, all the Republican candidates, the debates, the money spent, the dissection of personal lives in public media, I am surprised that we can’t find someone to lead our little outfit.

  • Arlene Gottfried L’Insouciance D’Une Époque
    DOSSIER DE PRESSE ARLENE GOTTFRIED L’INSOUCIANCE D’UNE ÉPOQUE 9 JANVIER – 5 MARS 2016 Du mercredi au samedi de 14h à 19h et sur rendez-vous Vernissage le 9 janvier de 14h à 19h ©Arlene Gottfried / Courtesy Les Douches la Galerie Décalé, tendre, libre, intime, joyeux, les qualificatifs ne manquent pas pour résumer ce portrait du New York des années 70-80. Une vie sans contrainte qui nous apparaît à des années lumière de notre quotidien. Ce vent de liberté d’expression avant l’épidémie du sida transparaît dans cette fresque noir et blanc. Nous sommes très heureux d’exposer pour la première fois en France ce travail d’Arlene Gottfried à la galerie. Une grande dame de la photographie qui mérite d’être mieux connue. Commissaires d’exposition : Laurence Cornet et Françoise Morin Contact : Françoise Morin 01 78 94 03 00 - [email protected] ARLENE GOTTFRIED Arlene Gottfried, dont le travail est encore mal connu en France, est avant tout new-yorkaise. Toute son œuvre s’inscrit dans ce monde urbain très spécifique, qui a constamment nourri sa soif d’observation depuis l’enfance. L’exposition organisée aux Douches présente - pour la première fois à Paris – une sélection de photographies de jeunesse, prises dans les années 70 et 80, lorsqu’elle sillonnait sans cesse Brooklyn à la recherche de lieux vivants, de tronches étonnantes, de scènes de rue insolites. C’est une spontanéité détachée d’ambition qui dessine son parcours. Refusant de faire des études, elle a préféré prendre un emploi de bureau pendant la journée et apprendre la photographie en cours du soir.

    DOSSIER DE PRESSE ARLENE GOTTFRIED BACALAITOS AND FIREWORKS ESPACE II VERNISSAGE LE 19 JANVIER DE 18H À 21H 20 JANVIER – 25 FÉVRIER 2017 Du mercredi au samedi de 14h à 19h et sur rendez-vous © Arlene Gottfried. Courtesy Les Douches la Galerie Ce travail documentaire « Bacalaitos and Fireworks » de la photographe new yorkaise Arlene Gottfried porte sur la communauté portoricaine de New York. Une communauté qu’elle fréquente assidument depuis quarante ans, qui a accompagné ses débuts de photographe et qui est en quelque sorte devenue, au fil du temps, une seconde famille. Dans ce travail couleur, on retrouve les mêmes qualités d’observation que dans sa série « Sometimes Overwhelming » avec ce regard distancié, plein d’empathie et teinté d’humour. Ces photographies s’inscrivent pleinement dans la lignée des travaux de Bruce Wrighton, Tom Arndt ou Homer Sykes que nous défendons à la galerie. Les tirages présentés sont des Cibachrome d’époque, exceptionnels. Avec la complicité de Laurence Cornet, c’est la deuxième exposition que nous consacrons à Arlene Gottfried.

Un soir, j’ai entendu un marchand ambulant crier « bacalaitos et feux d’artifice ! » : les bacalaitos, des beignets de morue à la portoricaine, et les feux d’artifice pour le week-end du Quatre-Juillet.

  • Diana Mara Henry Collection (20Th Century Photographer)
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Diana Mara Henry Collection (20th Century Photographer) 1934-2014 110 boxes (97 linear ft.) Call no.: PH 051 Collection overview Recognized for her coverage of historic events and personalities, the photographer Diana Mara Henry took the first steps toward her career in 1967 when she became photo editor for the Harvard Crimson. After winning the Ferguson History Prize and graduating from Harvard with a degree in government in 1969, Henry returned to New York to work as a researcher with NBC News and as a general assignment reporter for the Staten Island Advance, but in 1971 she began to work as a freelance photographer. Among many projects, she covered the Democratic conventions of 1972 and 1976 and was selected as official photographer for both the National Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year and the First National Women's Conference in 1977, and while teaching at the International Center for Photography from 1974-1979, she developed the community workshop program and was a leader in a campaign to save the Alice Austin House. Her body of work ranges widely from the fashion scene in 1970s New York and personal assignments for the family of Malcolm Forbes and other socialites to political demonstrations, cultural events, and photoessays on one room schoolhouses in Vermont and everyday life in Brooklyn, France, Nepal, and Bali. Widely published and exhibited, her work is part of permanent collections at institutions including the Schlesinger Library, the Library of Congress, Smithsonian, and the National Archives. The Henry collection is a rich evocation of four decades of political, social, and cultural change in America beginning in the late 1960s as seen through the life of one photojournalist.

  • Outré Aesthetics
    OUTRÉ AESTHETICS by Sarah York A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 © Sarah York 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that the thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract By Sarah York Since the revolutionary period in America, aesthetics has played a crucial role in political formation, social improvisation, and cultural imagination. Aesthetic contemplation offered a rich and evocative language for imagining political liberty, and for dealing with the inherent contradictions and challenges of a new democracy. At the same time, many Americans held substantially disparate concepts, values, and tastes. They offered alternative visions and ‘outside’ aesthetic expressions that continued through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and into the present. Outré aesthetic varieties testify to the tremendous diversity in American life, people, and art. Outré aesthetics connects corporeal and emotive responses to art and material appearances with the non-normative systems and disruptive forms that define them. I employ the outré as both an analytical concept and critical tool for understanding embodied approaches to aesthetic experience, with historical, cultural, artistic and literary examples. I bring together recent critical treatments of aesthetics across disciplines into conversation, including cultural studies, literature, philosophy, history, psychology, disability and freak studies, bio/neuro/cognitive and social aesthetics, and expand on recent claims.
