    ! SAN JOSE MUSEUM OF ART TO PRESENT MILTON ROGOVIN’S PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE WORKING CLASS AUGUST 18 ‒ MARCH 19 SAN JOSE, California (August 2016)— The San Jose Museum of Art will showcase the work of American photographer Milton Rogovin in an exhibition on view August 18, 2016 – March 19, 2017. Life and Labor: The Photographs of Milton Rogovin comprises thirty-eight black-and-white photographs by the self-proclaimed social documentary photographer. Rogovin photographed “the forgotten ones,” as he called them, including people from working class neighborhoods and multi-ethnic communities. Drawn entirely from the permanent collection of the San Jose Museum of Art, this exhibition presents photographs from three series: “Lower West Side, Buffalo” “Working People” and “Family of Miners” Life and Labor marks the public debut of these photographs, which were given to the Museum’s collection in 2011. Rogovin shed light on important social issues of the time: the plight of miners, the decline of the steel industry in upstate New York, and the everyday struggles of the poor and working class in Buffalo, New York, where he lived. While working as an optometrist in the 1930s, he was distressed by the widespread poverty caused by the Great Depression and became increasingly involved in leftist political causes. He began attending classes at the New York Workers School and reading the Communist newspaper The Daily Worker. He was influenced by the social- documentary photographs of Jacob Riis and Lewis Hine. In 1957, with the prevalence of cold war anti-Communism in the United States, Rogovin was called before the House Un-American Activities Committee, but refused to testify.

    NATHAN LYONS: Final Chapter

    NATHAN LYONS: Final Chapter March 27 - April 2, 2017 Reception: Friday March 31, 7-10pm Affirmation Arts 523 W 37th Street In honor of the renowned photographer, educator, lecturer, author, and curator Nathan Lyons, Bruce Silverstein is pleased to present, in association with Affirmation Arts, Nathan Lyons: Final Chapter. This exhibition marks the first occasion that this legendary artist’s color photographs will be seen by the public. It represents the fifth and final installment of a photographic opus spanning five decades, illustrating the artist’s intention of creating and transmitting a unique visual language through photography. This exclusive first look will be a prelude to his upcoming exhibition at the George Eastman Museum in 2019. Nearly 50 years have passed since the publication of his seminal book, Notations in Passing (1971), born out of his larger, extraordinary body of work bearing the same title. The images comprising this now-iconic compilation would be the artist’s first series of ‘snapshots’. This series sought to document the American ethos of 1962-1974 through the ubiquitous vernacular elements dispersed throughout the suburban landscape. Lyons would often focus on specific advertisements, posters, signage, drawings, and graffiti–lending a voice to the otherwise fading, forgotten script. Notations in Passing was also groundbreaking in its introduction of the artist's keen interest in photographic sequencing, often laying out seemingly disparate images in pairs, allowing a range of meaning to emerge through such juxtaposition. The snapshot, not as product but as process. Unpretentious and yet important, aspiring to nothing but a notation in passing. Things as they are, or what we make of them? In attempting to let objects be, objects and object spaces, to form simultaneously a neutral yet actively observational position, to combine ‘non-photographs’ as photographs.

    Milwaukee Art Museum – Restored. Reinstalled. Reimagined. The Milwaukee Art Museum, the largest visual art institution in Wisconsin and one of the oldest art museums in the nation, will reopen its Collection Galleries to the public November 24. The reopening is the culmination of a 6-year, $34 million project to transform the visitor experience through dramatically enhanced exhibition and public spaces and bright, flowing galleries. “The new Milwaukee Art Museum is poised to set the standard for a twenty-first-century museum at the heart of a great city,” said Museum Director Daniel Keegan. “What began as a desire to preserve the space and Collection grew into a significant expansion that rejuvenates and sets the future course for the entire institution.” Lewis Wickes Hine American, 1874?1940 A Carolina Spinner 1908 Gelatin silver print 4 11/16 x 6 5/8 in.

The evening also showcased the many works by African-American artists in our permanent collections. It was an especially rewarding collaboration for everyone involved. The Links is now continuing this special partnership with a gift of $1,000 to support an education- based internship at the Art Center in 2018 for African-American students. The Art Center, like many museums across the country, is striving to introduce young persons of color to employment in the field in an attempt to increase their numbers in the museum career pipeline. This project will help do so. Another exciting partnership occurred in October with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission. The group held a board meeting at the Art Center where the members toured our recent exhibition, I, too, am America, with Assistant Curator Jared Ledesma. Later in October, the Iowa Civil Rights Commission organized a public symposium, which featured a break-out session entitled, I, too, am America, inspired by the show. This is a wonderful example of the power of art to inspire, illuminate understanding, and engage broad audiences. In early November, the Art Center celebrated the creation of a temporary, large-scale mural on the exterior of the Richard Meier building with a public reception.

Additional support for the exhibition has been provided for by the National Endowment for the Arts. CONTENT This retrospective of the photography of Garry Winogrand (1930-1984), perhaps the most influential photographer of his generation, is comprised of more than 200 photographs. The exhibition is presented in nine segments: Eisenhower Years; The Street; Women; The Zoo; On the Road; The Sixties, Etc.; The Fort Worth Fat Stock Show and Rodeo; Airport; and Unfinished Work. The last section shows a fragment of the work that was unedited at the time of his death. This work, which exceeded one-third of a million exposures, was developed posthumously, aided by a grant to the Museum from Springs Industries, Inc. The Museum first exhibited a substantial body of Winogrand's work in 1962 in FIVE UNRELATED PHOTOGRAPHERS. This was followed by the influential NEW DOCUMENTS (1967), with Lee Friedlander and Diane Arbus; THE ANIMALS (1969-70), his first one-man show; and PUBLIC RELATIONS (1977), which generated an exceptional range of critical opinion. The complexity of Winogrand's photographs and his disregard for conventional ideas of good design resulted 1n what looked to many like extraordinarily busy snapshots.

    From the Museum to the Street: Garry Winogrand's Public Relations and the Actuality of Protest

    arts Article From the Museum to the Street: Garry Winogrand’s Public Relations and the Actuality of Protest Simon Constantine Department of History of Art, University College London, London WC1E 6BT, UK; [email protected] Received: 12 March 2019; Accepted: 16 April 2019; Published: 3 May 2019 Abstract: Focusing on Garry Winogrand’s Public Relations (1977), this article explores the problematic encounter between street photography and protest during the Vietnam War era. In doing so, it considers the extent to which Winogrand’s engagement with protest altered the formalist discourse that had surrounded his practice and the ‘genre’ of street photography more broadly since the 1950s. It is suggested that, although Winogrand never abandoned his debt to this framework, the logic of protest also intensified its internal contradictions, prompting a new attitude towards the crowd, art institution, street and mass media. By exploring this shift, this article seeks to demonstrate that, while the various leftist critiques of Winogrand’s practice remain valid, Public Relations had certain affinities with the progressive artistic and political movements of the period. Keywords: street photography; Winogrand; formalism; protest; Vietnam War; documentary 1. Introduction In her 1981 essay, ‘In, Around and Afterthoughts (on Documentary Photography)’, Martha Rosler sought to reinvent documentary practice through a Marxist critique of its traditions, truth claims and political assumptions. However, in doing so, she also stressed the difference between this project and a second, reactionary attack upon photographic credibility; one conducted by a postwar art establishment, which sought to secure ‘the primacy of authorship’ and avoid the social by isolating images ‘within the gallery–museum–art–market nexus’ (Rosler 1992, p.

    Reflections in the Helmet Shield

    Alec Soth's Archived Blog July 17, 2007 Reflections in the helmet shield Filed under: aesthetics,photo tech,quotes — alecsothblog @ 10:27 pm On the cover of this month’s Vanity Fair is a typical bland celebrity photograph. The only interesting element in the picture is the reflection in the helmet: I’m glad I didn’t have to take this picture. All of that equipment looks like a drag. In the current issue of PDN, Joseph Kudelka talks about making pictures. “For me photography is playing,” he says, “I go out and I play and I try to discover.” Later in the interview he tells this story of showing pictures to John Szarkowski. My sister lived in Canada. I was on my way to visit my sister because my mother had gotten permission to go there. I brought with me little prints that, when I traveled, I would show. I missed my plane and went over to Elliot Erwitt’s place. He said, “You are here, so why not show your pictures to this guy from the Museum of Modern Art who once published one of your photographs, John Szarkowski?” I went there and said I have some pictures that I was going to show my sister and mother so they could see the places I’ve been, and he looked through them and John said – this I’ll never forget – “I feel I’d like to go out and take pictures again. And I would like to make your show.” In Szarkowski’s 1979 book/exhibition, Mirrors and Windows, he divides photographic practice into two categories.
