We have a good balance of emerging and established practitioners and a wide array of styles ranging from more classical reportage to street photography to conceptual art, which makes for an exciting mix. Our aim is for the project to bring world-class documentary photography into every day public spaces and to communicate the One Planet Living principles in an interesting and effective way to a diverse public.” Celia Davies, Director of Photoworks says: “This partnership creates an important programme strand for Brighton Photo Biennial 2014. The project helps us achieve our aim to connect outstanding artists with diverse audiences and enable new work to be made and discovered. The ten prominent locations connecting up the One Planet themes will ensure thousands more city residents and visitors have the opportunity to engage with thought- provoking photography, presented as part of city life for over 10 months. For us the photograph is only half the story, the other half is the subject itself and this project provides an opportunity to explore and where possible address key issues affecting sustainability in our local communities.” Pooran Desai, Co-Founder of BioRegional says: “It’s is a huge achievement for Brighton & Hove to be accredited as the world’s first One Planet City. We are hugely looking forward to seeing this achievement and ambition brought to life through the work of the world-class photographers and confident that it will inspire more people to live happy, healthy One Planet lives.” Our One Planet City FotoDocument is a unique not-for-profit arts Photoworks is an agency dedicated to BioRegional champions a better, more education organisation, which brings visibility enabling participation in photography, sustainable way to live.

Globally, we’re consuming natural resources and generating waste and pollution at far too high a rate for our one planet to cope with. If everyone lived like the average European we’d need three planets to support us; if we all lived like the average North American we would need five planets! Yet, worldwide, more than a billion people are getting far less than a fair share of the planet’s resources and their basic needs are not being met. This is why we need One Planet Living. BioRegional developed the One Planet Living sustainability framework underpinned by ten principles covering areas such as health and happiness, carbon and transport, to deliver One Planet Living. The framework has been backed by another respected organization, the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF). www.oneplanetliving.org Our One Planet City One Planet City ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHERS Our One Planet City Thomas Ball © Thomas Ball “My training in environmental sciences has heavily influenced my working practice.

    The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College For Immediate Release Photography Exhibition ‘This Place’ will be presented by Tang Teaching Museum in collaboration with museums at Colgate, Hamilton and UAlbany The Tang to feature work by Wendy Ewald, Gilles Peress, Stephen Shore, Nick Waplington that explores Israel and the West Bank SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (December 12, 2017) — The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College is leading a four-campus exhibition of This Place, which features more than 600 images by twelve internationally acclaimed photographers who explore the personal and public spaces in Israel and the West Bank. Opening February 3 through April 22, 2018, the Tang’s presentation will feature work by four of the twelve photographers, who each took different approaches, highlighting how photography can illuminate multiple perspectives on a complex topic: Wendy Ewald, taught and photographed children and adults in fourteen communities in Israel and the West Bank in their homes and villages, collecting tens of thousands of digital images, a selection of which is on display at the Tang Museum; Gilles Peress photographed the Road of Patriarchs from Hebron to Jerusalem and the Palestinian village of Silwan in East Jerusalem, areas he considers to be fault lines in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; Stephen Shore used a his 8 x 10 view camera and a digital camera to photograph landscapes and cityscapes, sacred places, street scenes, and community; and Nick Waplington created a photographic survey of Jewish settlements in the West Bank through both family portraits and images of the natural and built environment.

Here Meyerowitz looked at, touched, studied, and connected with the more than 250 objects that Morandi painted. Using only the warm natural light in the room, he photographed Morandi’s objects: vases, shells, pigment-filled bottles, silk flowers, tins, funnels, watering cans. In the photographs, each object sits on Morandi’s table, which still bears the marks the painter drew to set the positions of his subjects. In the background is the paper that the artist left on the wall, now brittle and yellow with age. Meyerowitz’s portraits of these dusty, aged objects are not only works of art themselves, but they offer insight into the humble subjects that Morandi transformed into his subtle and luminous paintings. Joel Meyerowitz (born 1938) is a street photographer and portrait and landscape photographer.

Through close visual analyses of photojournalist, press, and social documentary photographs, this Ph.D examines the visual responses to the Government’s advocation of a ‘healthy’ society and its programme of social and economic ‘waste-saving’. Drawing Imogen Tyler’s interpretation of ‘social abjection’ (the discursive mediation of subjects through exclusionary modes of ‘revolting aesthetics’) into the visual field, this Ph.D explores photography’s implication in bolstering the abject and exclusionary discourses of the era. Exploring the contexts in which photographs were created, utilised and disseminated to visually convey ‘waste’ as an expression of social abjection, this Ph.D exposes how the Right’s successful establishment of a neoliberal political economy was supported by an accelerated use and deployment of revolting photographic aesthetics.

Each artistic approach addresses the complexity of the area through themes such as identity, family, home, conflict, and topography. This volume, which accompanies the show now opening at the Jewish Museum Berlin, concludes the project and presents a multi- layered, fragmented portrait of the region. June 6, 2019 – The French photographer Frédéric Brenner initiated This Place in 2005. His goal was to add new, artistic motifs to the familiar pictures of the region that are usually published alongside news reports. Between 2009 and 2012 he and the photographers Wendy Ewald, Martin Kollar, Josef Koudelka, Jungjin Lee, Gilles Peress, Fazal Sheikh, Stephen Shore, Rosalind Fox Solomon, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, and Nick Waplington visited Israel and the West Bank several times to shoot these photos. The more than two hundred works of art question the history, borderlines, and paradoxes of the area and its inhabitants. Thanks to the diverse visual vocabularies, nationalities, and cultural backgrounds of the photographers, the pictures present a multi-layered portrait of Israel and the West Bank. The photos have been exhibited previously in famous museums such as the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum.
