  • Annual Report 2012 LETTER from the MOCP ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHAIR
    Annual Report 2012 LETTER FROM THE MOCP ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHAIR: The MoCP’s 2012 fiscal year was a period of transition and growth for the Museum in the face of a changing cultural landscape at Columbia College Chicago and the city at large. It was a period that simultaneously featured Limits of Photography, the final exhibition curated by former director Rod Slemmons, as well as the beginnings of strategic planning for the Museum’s bright future under its new director Natasha Egan. Limits examined the work of artists testing the borders of the medium of photography itself. It highlighted many of the artists the MoCP has collected and deemed worthy of study, such as Curtis Mann, Doug Stapleton, and Vera Klement. The exhibition was a capstone of sorts for Rod’s 9-year tenure, which has been distinguished by new scholarship and a strategic expansion of the Museum’s collection. Rod’s contributions furthered the Museum’s venerable reputation on an international scale—a reputation that Natasha seeks to build upon, while also broadening the MoCP’s visibility and influence in the field and the world. To help her, the Museum attracted new blood with fresh perspectives and ideas to our Advisory Committee including Patti Bartlestein, Adam Brooks, Susan O’Brien Lyons, Bruce Mondschain, Kristi Nuelle, David Weinberg, and Bob Wislow. As a sign of the Museum’s deepening the relationship with Columbia College Chicago, the Photography department’s new Chair at Columbia, Peter Fitzpatrick, joined the Advisory Committee—along with Interim Provost Louise Love. The close engagement of Peter and Louise, both experts in education and administration, is a symbol of the seamless and symbiotic relationship between the MoCP and Columbia.

  • Dave Jordano - Detroit - Unbroken Down
    OCTOBER, 2018 | PRESS RELEASE Dave Jordano - Detroit - Unbroken Down In his photographic series, Detroit: Unbroken Down, Dave Jordano records life in the city’s various communities over the span of a crucial five-year period, from 2010 to 2015. As a native son and a patient observer, Jordano is in tune with the resilient people who take pride in their city, without shying away from the harder realities of the economic struggle. ON VIEW: OPENING RECEPTION: ARTIST TALK: October 5 - December 1 Friday, October 5th, 5-8 pm Friday, October 5th, 6pm 202 South Rogers St. Bloomington, IN 47404 | 812.336.0000| picturagallery.com PICTURA GALLERY | FAR Center for Contemporary Arts October, 2018 | PRESS RELEASE Dave Jordano DETROIT - UNBROKEN DOWN ARTIST STATEMENT Detroit is my hometown, but I’ve been gone for over three decades. As a child growing up, my father, who worked all his life for General Motors, used to joke and say that we had motor oil in our veins. Even after all these years of absence I still believe there is some small truth to what he said. These photographs are my reaction to all the negative press that Detroit has had to endure over the past several years. I wanted to see for myself what everyone was talking about, and like everyone else I was initially drawn to the same subjects that other photographers were interested in; the crumbling factory interiors, the empty lots and burned out houses that consume a third of the city, and the massive abandoned commercial infrastructure. It took me a week of shooting this kind of subject matter to make me realize that I was contributing nothing to a subject that most everyone already knew much about, especially those who had been living there for years.
