  • Animals: Them and Us to Open at the North Dakota Museum of Art
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Matthew Wallace [email protected] 701-777-4195 ANIMALS: THEM AND US TO OPEN AT THE NORTH DAKOTA MUSEUM OF ART Museum Director Laurel Reuter has gathered the work of twenty-five artists from across North and South America in a contemporary exhibition Animals: Them and Us. The show is on display at the North Dakota Museum of Art in Grand Forks through January 5, 2009. The public is invited to a reception on November 22, 5 – 7 pm for Animals: Them and Us, and Vivienne Morgan: A Sense of Place, a landscape photography exhibition by Bemidji- based artist Vivienne Morgan. There will be a short lecture by Morgan. According to Morgan, “After living in the United States for nearly thirty years, I still define myself as English. I almost live in two worlds, watching BBC television, listening to BBC Radio 4: all my news and sense of America is filtered through those sources. It keeps me happy to remain connected, but when I leave my house, the whole wild wooded landscape of Northern Minnesota tells me plainly: I'm not in England anymore. Of all things English, my identity is most closely tied to the English landscape.” The biological definition of animal refers to all members of the kingdom Animalia, including humans who are only one of the nine or ten million species of animals that inhabit planet Earth. In curating the exhibition, Reuter searched for art from the complicated animal genre that exhibits contrasting and conflicting visions, points-of-view, assumptions, assertions, and historical remembrances of other members of the kingdom Animalia.

  • Subhankar Banerjee Resume
    SUBHANKAR BANERJEE I was born in 1967 in Berhampore, a small town near Kolkata, India. My early experiences in my tropical home in rural Bengal fostered my life long interest in the value of land and it’s resources. In the cinemas of these small towns, I came to know the work of brilliant Bengali filmmakers including, Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, and Ritwik Ghatak. I loved cinema and found their visual explorations of everyday life and larger social issues immensely inspiring. I asked my Great Uncle Bimal Mookerjee, a painter, to teach me how to paint. I created portraits and detailed rural scenes, but knew from growing up in a middle-income family that it would be nearly impossible for me to pursue a career in the arts. I chose instead the practical path of studying engineering in India and later earned master’s degrees in physics and computer science at New Mexico State University. In the New Mexican Desert, I fell in love with the open spaces of the American West. I hiked and backpacked frequently in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah, and bought a 35mm camera with which I began taking photographs. After finishing my graduate degrees in Physics and Computer Science, I moved to Seattle, Washington to take up a research job in the sciences. In the Pacific Northwest, my commitment to photography grew, and I photographed extensively during many outdoor trips in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, California, New Hampshire, Vermont, Florida, British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba. In 2000, I decided to leave my scientific career behind and began a large-scale photography project in the American Arctic.

  • The Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release January 1991 PROJECTS: STUART KLIPPER February 1 - March 19, 1991 An exhibition of approximately fifteen color photographs of Antarctica by American photographer Stuart Klipper opens at The Museum of Modern Art on February 1, 1991, as part of its continuing PROJECTS series. The three-foot- wide panoramas have been selected from the series On Antarctica, comprised of more than 1,000 pictures made in 1989 under the aegis of the National Science Foundation. Organized by Peter Galassi, curator, Department of Photography, PROJECTS: STUART KLIPPER is made possible by generous grants from The Bohen Foundation, the Lannan Foundation, The Contemporary Arts Council of The Museum of Modern Art, and the National Endowment for the Arts. The exhibition remains on view through March 19. Although Antarctica is perhaps the most unwelcoming place on earth, science now flourishes on the continent. Every day the place becomes less unfamiliar. If Klipper's photographs testify by their mere existence to this process of assimilation, they nevertheless evoke the unhuman vastness of Antarctica. In the exhibition brochure, Mr. Galassi writes that the artist's panoramas present "a landscape that is ravishing in its barren beauty, in its inhospitable grandeur, and in the delicacy of its ever-changing hues. The photographs seem to fuse the epic swoon of romanticism with the impersonal rigor of science." - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 Born in 1941 in the Bronx, New York, Stuart Klipper lives in Minneapolis.
