About Casa Planas The Casa Planas Center for Artistic Research and Contemporary Culture is committed to restoring the old Casa Planas photography factory for the city of Palma. The unused space is used to restore the history and collective memories of the factory, then creating a platform for experimentation, research and creativity. Casa Planas opened its doors as an independent center for research and artistic creation in 2015. Casa Planas is an energetic creative center, connecting a variety of workshops such as: photographic laboratory, screen printing, writing, new technologies, or contemporary art and critical thinking. It provides a recording studio, a concert hall, dance and performing arts laboratories, a radio studio, rehearsal and recording rooms, artist studios and shared creation spaces, among other non-classifiable activities. Through a plurality of disciplines and a permeable system, we focus on the contemporary image and support creative processes by offering resources to encourage creation. We focus on institutional and academic powers, artistic circles and citizens intending to reformulate and reflect on a comprehensive vision of artistic practice. A bout the Planas Archive Josep Planas i Montanyà was regarded as the primary photographer of Balearic Islands’ imagery in the 50s and 60s tourist boom. A tireless producer and collector, he pioneered the industrial production of postcards and aerial photography. Born in Catalonia, the photographic entrepreneur and founder of Casa Planas remained in Mallorca, captivated by its landscape, which he immortalized. He was the first European photographer to purchase a helicopter to shoot aerial photography. He created a monopoly of commercially printed postcards, selling thousands every year, spreading his images of the island around the world. Josep Planas opened his first specialized photography store on Colón Street in 1947. The store evolved into a company that would have more than 15 establishments. Casa Planas produced millions of images in a time when more than 700 annual reports were produced annually. The Casa Planas Archive is full of filing cabinets, photographs, negatives, photoliths, slides, transparencies and postcards that add up to more than 4,000,000 images and more than 2,000 cameras of different brands and models that he used and collected. 2 Through his archive we can monitor the urban and rural landscape, tourism and social transformation of those years. His camera captured the culture of mass tourism, folkloric images of regular family events, including weddings of well-off local families and sports, even commercial reports from the hotel sector. Planas photographed almost every corner of our geography. Planas was published on the covers of Arte Fotográfico, Baleares, Fotogramas, Fiesta Deportiva, Serra d'Or, La Vanguardia, local newspapers and was also a correspondent for Televisión Española. He photographed prominent figures such as Blai Bonet, Camilo José Cela, Robert Graves, Miró, Joan Fontaine, Errol Flynn, Charles Chaplin, Grace Kelly, Lana Turner, and the visits of Franco (1955), Juan Carlos I de Borbón (1953) and Fraga Iribarne. His passion for collecting allowed him to gather a very important legacy of old photographs and postcards, as well as a wide collection of priceless gadgets and accessories related to his professional practice: rarities, early animations, Chinese shadows, daguerreotypes, zoetropes, magical lanterns...

    Project #3: Inspired by… - Description Critique Date - 3/29/19 (Fri) "The world is filled to suffocating. Man has placed his token on every stone. Every word, every image, is leased and mortgaged. We know that a picture is but a space in which a variety of images, none of them original, blend and clash." – Sherrie Levine Conceptual Requirements: In this project, you will do your best to interpret the style of a particular photographer who interests you. You will research them as well as their work in order to make photographs that have a signature aesthetic or approach that is specific to them, and also contribute your ideas. Technical Requirements: 1. Start with the list on the back of this page (the Project Description sheet), and start web searches for these photographers. All the ones listed are masters in their own right and a good starting point for you to begin your search. Select one and confirm your choice with me by the due date (see the syllabus). 2. After choosing a photographer, go on the web and to the library to check out books on them, read interviews, and look at every image you can that is made by them. Learn as much as you can and take notes on your sources. 3. Type your name, date, and “Project 3: Inspired by...” at the top of a Letter sized page. Then write a 2 page research paper on your chosen photographer. Be sure to include information such as where and when they were born, where it is that they did their work, what kind of camera and film formats they used, their own personal history, etc.

  • Graciela Iturbide's Private Universe
    Graciela Iturbide’s Private Universe September 24th, 2010 by Cassandra McGrath An ostrich stares indignantly at me, hip jutting out as though I had ditched its Thanksgiving dinner. “What are you doing in this gallery staring at me?” it seems to say. “Why didn’t you bring the cranberry sauce?” Like an exaggerated cartoon version of an image in National Geographic, the ostrich is one of the more vivid subjects in Graciela Iturbide’s most recent exhibition, Graciela Iturbide: asor, ending this week in the Rose Gallery at the Santa Monica Museum of Art. Iturbide once said, “While using my camera I am, above all, an actress participating in the scene taking place at the moment, and the other actors know what role I play.” In “asor,” taken straight from her personal archive, Iturbide creates a fantasy world that explores the terror and joy of childhood solitude. Inspired by her grandchildren and Alice in Wonderland, Iturbide photographed the Southern United States, Italy, India and Mexico, using snippets from each location but nothing identifiable from any of them. Instead, she crafted a new narrative that makes the fantastic pedestrian and the pedestrian fantastic. Clocks and abandoned buildings take on the significance of mythical creatures. In one pair of photographs, two blank eyeholes carved out of rocks peer out at the viewer, observing and saying nothing. Birds gather ominously in the sky like locusts, and in one arresting image, sunflowers are backlit and shot from below, drooping and spiky as Venus Fly Traps. Iturbide plays with perspective: A giant plaster head sits next to a parked car, disorienting any sense of scale.

As a result, there is a tension felt when this claim is made at the beginning of a text with which a reader is unfamiliar, leading to the risk of assuming which parts of the narrative are true and which were fabricated. This thesis will explore several texts and works of narrative art which bare the markings of being “based on a true story,” but which challenge the reader to think critically when comparing their contents to verifiable sources.

    Martin Parr / April 2019 Solo Shows – Current and Upcoming Only Human: Martin Parr Wolfson and Lerner Galleries, National Portrait Gallery, London, UK 7 Mar to 27 May 2019 Further details here ​ The National Portrait Gallery celebrates a major new exhibition of works by Martin Parr, one of Britain’s best-known and most widely celebrated photographers. Only Human: Martin Parr, brings together some of Parr’s best known photographs with new work by Parr never exhibited before, to focus on one of his most engaging subjects – people. Featuring portraits of people from around the world, the exhibition examines national identity today, both in the UK and abroad with a special focus on Parr’s wry observations of Britishness. Britain in the time of Brexit will be the focus of one section, featuring new works, which reveal Parr’s take on the social climate in the aftermath of the EU referendum. The exhibition will also focus on the British Abroad, including photographs made in British Army camps overseas, and Parr’s long term study of the British ‘Establishment’ including recent photographs taken at Christ’s Hospital school in Sussex, Oxford and Cambridge Universities and the City of London, revealing the obscure rituals and ceremonies of British life. Although best known for capturing ordinary people, Parr has also photographed celebrities throughout his career. For the first time Only Human: Martin Parr will reveal a selection of portraits of renowned personalities, most of which have never been exhibited before, including British fashion legends Vivienne Westwood and Paul Smith, contemporary artists Tracey Emin and Grayson Perry and world-renowned football player Pelé.

  • „To Document Something Which Does Not Exist.“ Vilém Flusser and Joan Fontcuberta: a Collaboration1
    FLUSSER STUDIES 13 Andrea Soto Calderon – Rainer Guldin „To document something which does not exist.“ Vilém Flusser and Joan Fontcuberta: A Collaboration1 „Ever since the fifteenth century, Occidental civilisation has suf- fered from the divorce into two cultures: science and its techniques – the ‘true’ and the ‘good for something’ – on the one hand; the arts – beauty –on the other. This is a pernicious distinction. Every scientific proposition and every technical gadget has an aesthetic quality, just as every work of art has an epistemological and political quality. More signif- icantly, there is no basic distinction between scientific and artistic re- search: both are fictions in the quest of truth (scientific hypotheses being fictions). Electromagnetized images do away with this divorce because they are the result of science and are at the service of the imagina- tion. They are what Leonardo da Vinci used to call ‘fantasia essata’. A synthetic image of a fractal equation both a work of art and a model for knowledge.” Vilém Flusser, The Photograph as Postindustrial Object: An Essay on the Ontological Standing of Photographs In this paper we would like to focus on the friendship and intense collaboration between Vilém Flusser and Joan Fontcuberta. The Flusser-Archive in Berlin possesses a short epistolary ex- change that we would like to analyze and discuss in detail. It contains, in fact, valuable infor- mation about common projects, theoretical exchanges and personal matters. To clarify a few important points we have asked Joan Fontcuberta for a short interview which we have included in this paper. After this first more general introductory part we want to discuss the reciprocal theoretical and creative interest that brought Flusser and Fontcuberta together and the different texts resulting from this.
