Paula Tognarelli Executive Director Griffin Museum of Photography 781-729-1158 1 March, 2021 Grif FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Paula Tognarelli Executive Director Griffin Museum of Photography 781-729-1158 1 March, 2021 © Jerry Takigawa, Balancing Cultures, EO 9066, 206 Griffin Museum of Photography 1 April – 23 May, 2021 The Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, Massachusetts is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition schedule, opening April 1st with three new shows on the walls through 23 May, 2021. Jerry Takigawa – Balancing Cultures | Artist Talk April 1st, 7pm EST Claudia Ruiz Gustafson – Historias fragmentadas | Artist Talk April 8th, 7pm EST Edie Bresler – Anonymous | Artist Talk April 11th, 7pm EST Here is a more in depth look at the exhibitions. Jerry Takigawa – Balancing Cultures Artist Talk Thursday April 1st 7pm EST Initially an identity project, Balancing Cultures gives voice to a story suffered in silence by my immigrant grandparents and American-born parents. My mother’s passing left my brother and me with boxes of photographs. Among them were photos of family members taken in camp that we had never seen. In my family, when anyone spoke of camp, they weren’t referring to a pine- scented summer retreat—they were referring to the WWII American concentration camps sanctioned in 1942 by President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. Piecing together a historical puzzle of photographs, memories, and artifacts, I began an exploration into my family’s undisclosed past. For the first time, the hardships my family endured in the camps were illuminated to me. EO 9066 caused 110,000 Japanese Americans economic loss, the pain of prejudice and imprisonment, and the repercussions of re- integration into post-war America. Although racism is deeply woven into our institutional and social fabric, there is no scientific basis for race. Race and racism are social constructs. This project is a testimony to the shame Griffin Museum of Photography griffinmuseum.org 781.729.1158 and indignation my family kept hidden due to their cultural stoicism and fear of retribution. Left untold, their experience would remain buried, a casualty of the country they loved and fought for. Balancing Cultures is especially relevant as long as America continues to incarcerate people—not for crimes they’ve committed, but simply because of whom they are. About Jerry Takigawa - Jerry Takigawa is an independent photographer, designer, and writer. He studied photography with Don Worth and is the recipient of many honors and awards including: the Imogen Cunningham Award (1982), the Clarence J. Laughlin Award, New Orleans, LA (2017), Photolucida’s Critical Mass Top 50 (2017, 2020), CENTER Awards, Curator’s Choice First Place, Santa Fe, NM (2018), and the Rhonda Wilson Award, Brooklyn, NY (2020). His work is in the collections of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum, Crocker Art Museum, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Monterey Museum of Art, and the Library of Congress. Takigawa lives and works in Carmel Valley, California. Claudia Ruiz Gustafson – Historias Fragmentadas Artist Talk – Thursday April 8th, 7pm EST (Online) For those without roots in a place, memory is essential to maintain a sense of continuity in life. Isabel Allende Historias fragmentadas is a visual journal that I created over the course of five years. It was fueled by a sentiment of longing and nostalgia after the death of my grandmother, the family story keeper in 2015. This event brought me to look deeper into my past; to explore the paradox of memory and the emotion of loss as a way to reconnect with my Peruvian roots and honor those who came before me. In this series, I create digital photo collages that unsettle the images of the past in a way that allows me to look through the cracks. By tearing, juxtaposing and layering archival family photographs, fragments from my journals, and objects from my childhood, I have shed light on a personal story within an ancestral story that spans generations. I also use staged imagery, mostly self-portraits, to explore moments in my life where I have inhabited liminal spaces, moments of transition and experiences of displacement, both physical and psychological. This work tells the story of a particular middle-class Peruvian family through my own lens. I have chosen, with these images and writings, to release the voices and the haunting self- discovery that happened when I explored the stories behind iconic family photographs and their legends through my own personal mythology. – CRG About Claudia Ruiz Gustafson - Claudia Ruiz Gustafson (b. 1973) is a Peruvian visual artist and curator whose practice engages photography, assemblage, poetry and artist book making. Her work is mainly autobiographical and self-reflective; her cross-cultural experience and Peruvian heritage deeply inform her art making. Claudia’s latest projects explore the stories of her Peruvian ancestors and aspects of her immigrant and liminal experiences. Her latest ongoing body of Griffin Museum of Photography griffinmuseum.org 781.729.1158 work Todas las Sangres aims to revisit her own history within the framework of the Bicentennial of the Independence of Peru in which she is in symbolic dialogue with historical characters to correct narratives within the imperialist gaze while attempting to decolonize the narratives from past and present. Claudia has exhibited in museums and galleries across the US and abroad at venues including Danforth Art Museum, Griffin Museum of Photography, Newport Art Museum, Photographic Resource Center, Agora Gallery, Millepiani Gallery and Galleria Valid Foto. She is a 2020 Critical Mass 200 Finalist and 2020 Photo LA Top 20 Finalist. Claudia has received grants and awards from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Cambridge Art Association, L.A. Photo Curator: Global Photography Awards, PX3 de la Photographie Paris, The Gala Awards, among others and her work has been published in Fraction Media, Black & White Magazine, F-Stop Magazine, Float Photo Magazine, Aspect Initiative and Lenscratch. Currently she is curator and participating artist of the traveling exhibition Crossing Cultures: Family, Memory and Displacement, a multi-media project made up of artwork created by multi-cultural artists reflecting on identity and diaspora. She holds a BA in Communications (Comunicación para el Desarrollo) from Universidad de Lima, and a Professional Photography Certificate from Kodak Interamericana de Perú. Edie Breseler – Anonymous Artist Talk Sunday April 11th, 4pm During a year-long illness, I spent more time looking at photographs in books than making them. A series of anonymous nudes from various sources, all made between 1843-1910 entered my consciousness and kept me restless. It was not just the finality of the title, “anonymous”, but wonder about the relationship between photographer and subject. I found myself dreamily inventing backstories and imagining what they might have been like outside the photographers studio. To satisfy my curiosity, I scanned the original reproduction to digitally remove them from the studio. Then I began creating an alternate place and time. I embroider, and sew clothing as a gesture of renewal and second chances. Each sewn photograph is a unique echo of the original, akin to a distant, imagined descendent. I gratefully acknowledge the collectors and institutions who collected and preserved the original moments. – EB About Edie Bresler – Edie Bresler is a longtime artist who investigates chance and randomness with photography. Her multi-faceted projects embracing a gamut of processes and possibilities is a rarity in this era of branded creativity. Bresler is a recipient of a Massachusetts Cultural Council fellowship in photography, several Visual Artist Fellowships from the Somerville Arts Council, a Berkshire Taconic Artist Resource Grant, and a New York Foundation for the Arts grant.

  • Risk Assessment of the Movement of Firewood Within the United States
    United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Risk Assessment of the Movement of Firewood within the United States Source: Kosichfirewood.org (artist: Alastair Heseltine) Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology Plant Protection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service United States Department of Agriculture 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh NC, 27606 Rev.1 20110105 1 Executive Summary Exotic and native forest pests such as Agrilus planipennis (emerald ash borer), Anoplophora glabripennis (Asian longhorned beetle), Dendroctonous ponderosae (mountain pine beetle), Ophiostoma novo-ulmi and O. ulmi (pathogens associated with Dutch elm disease), Cryphonectria parasitica (pathogen associated with chestnut blight), and Geosmithia sp. (pathogen associated with thousand cankers disease of black walnut) cause serious damage to urban and natural forests in the United States. These pests and many others disperse various distances through multiple pathways including movement of nursery stock and firewood. Firewood is a raw forest product that is widely utilized and moved throughout the United States with relatively limited consideration of the potential pests within or the associated risks. We conducted an assessment and examined factors that may affect the risk associated with the movement of firewood such as users, movement, insects and diseases, potential impact to natural and urban forests, and trends in firewood use. From our assessment, we estimate firewood to be a high-risk pathway for the movement of forest pests for the following reasons. • Firewood is a well-known pathway for the movement of wood pests. • The United States requires treatment of all imported firewood, with a few exceptions from Canada and Mexico.

I would also like to thank Dr. Jason Weems and Dr. Liz Kotz for serving as members of my committee, pausing their own sabbaticals to provide me with incredibly helpful feedback; Leigh Gleason, Curator of Collections at the California Museum of Photography, for guiding me in my search to find balance between work and school; and Graduate Coordinator, Alesha Jaennette, for solving my many paperwork crises. I am forever grateful to all of you for your flexibility and understanding. Finally, thank you to my family, friends, and Princeton University Art Museum coworkers for sticking with me through the highs and many lows of this process. Your love and support helped me push through and see this project to completion. iv ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Eggleston, Christenberry, Divola: Color Photography Beyond the New York Reception by Reva Leigh Main Master of Arts, Graduate Program in Art History University of California, Riverside, June 2016 Dr.
