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. To counter this, I began looking at the various neighborhoods within the city and the people who live within them. This human condition, while troubled, struggling, and coping with the harsh reality of living in a post-industrial city that has fallen on the hardest of times, does thrive, and demonstrates that Detroit is not the city of death and decay that everyone was reporting in the media, but one that shows signs of human activity and movement. However, not withstanding the recent press about Detroit’s efforts to rebound from its recent bankruptcy, which is in all ways promising, my focus continues to rest on the current conditions that affect many of those who have fallen through the cracks, forgotten and marginalized poor people whose fate will only be worsened by the present economic down turn, ensuing months and years of continued hardship with little or no assistance in sight. Whatever that outcome may be, I’ve found that most Detroiter’s wear their pride for the city they live in much like an honored badge of courage, defying all odds, openly admitting that if you can survive here, you can survive just about anywhere. My hope is that this work will convey in many ways that Detroit is a city made up of many small communities, all building a way of life through perseverance, hope, and sheer determination. A city clinging to the vanished ideals of an urban oasis that once hailed itself as one of the most beautiful and prosperous cities in America, at one time a model city for all others to follow, but one which has now fallen from grace. This personal project is not about what’s been destroyed, but more importantly about what’s been left behind and those who are left to cope with it. 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 BIOGRAPHY Dave Jordano was born in 1948 in Detroit, Michigan. He received his BFA in photography from the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit in 1974. In 1977 he established a highly successful commercial photography studio in Chicago, shooting major advertising campaigns for companies such as Crate & Barrel, Starbucks, Sears, Nestle, Kraft Foods, General Mills, Nintendo, and Kellogg’s. As mid-career fine art photographer, Jordano has received numerous accolades and awards. He first received an honorable mention in the Houston Center for Photography’s Long-term Fellowship Project in 2003, and then received the Curator’s Choice Award the following year. He is a four-time top 20 finalist in the Photolucida’s “Critical Mass” national photography competition in Portland, OR as well as becoming a three-time finalist in the LenCulture International Photography Awards. In 2015 he was awarded the Peter Urban Legacy Prize and Best of Show Award from the Griffin Museum of Photography’s annual competition, became a finalist in the triennial Outwin-Boochever Portrait Competition from the Nation Portrait Gallery, Washington DC, and received the prestigious $50,000 AIMIA-AGO Photography Prize in Canada for his work in Detroit. Jordano has exhibited both internationally and nationally. His work is included in several private, corporate and museum collections, most notably the permanent collection of The Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Detroit Art Institute, The Harris Bank Collection, the Mary & Leigh Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University, and the Federal Reserve. His first book, published by the Center for American Places at Columbia College, Chicago titled, “Articles of Faith, Small African-American Community Churches of Chicago”, was released in April 2009. His second book titled, “Detroit: Unbroken Down” was published in September of 2015 by PowerHouse Books and has won several “Best of 2015” Photo Book Awards. His current publication, “A Detroit Nocturne” was recently released in April of 2018, also by PowerHouse Books. Dave Jordano currently resides in Chicago, Illinois. 202 South Rogers St. Bloomington, IN 47404 | 812.336.0000| picturagallery.com.

  • 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.

    REFERENCE MATERIALS for the Marktown Historic District East Chicago, Indiana Since the early 1970s when research was being conducted to place the Marktown subdivision of East Chicago on the National Register of Historic Places, an archive of reference materials has been collected and preserved for future generations. So extensive are the periodical references alone that a privately printed and in- dexed copy of the articles has been presented in book form titled Marktown In Print. As a companion of this book a text titled Mark- town On The Party Line was also issued in a very limited edition. Beyond these two outstanding publications, the Marktown Preservation Society, Inc. has also issued a monthly newsletter be- ginning in December 2002. The newsletter is titled Marktown Update and a comprehensive index of the newsletter as well as an archive of all of the past issues can be found on this web site in the COMMU- NITY section. You will also find a series of PDFs of all of the scanned images and text of Marktown on the Party Line. Along with these items, we have included a listing of books that include at least reference to Marktown and key titles in refer- ence to early 20th century industrial housing and the English Garden City Concept as promoted by Ebenezer Howard. Over the years a number of video programs have either in- cluded reference to Marktown or have been created as educational tools by the Marktown Preservation Society, Inc. We have also made it a point of collecting various blueprints and plans in reference to this most unique and endangered of neigh- borhoods.
