#FilterPhotoTakeover x @there.there.now

Join me this Fri 10.16, 5–8 pm for the opening reception of [color/shift]. I’ll have a short run of exhibition zines, printed in light teal and fluorescent pink, that pull the whole project into one place. They’re a takeaway, not a catalog: grab one or more, pass them on.

Thank you to @filterphoto for hosting this presentation, and to each of the photographers who have let me version their work, for this project and the ones before it. And thank you for following for my takeover.

For those of you who can’t make it: push your phone into your face. Smell the ink.

Details from: Melissa Catanese (THE LOTTERY); Sara J. Winston, Chase Barnes, Shane Rocheleau and Jorge Ariel Escobar (COLOR STUDIES); Jasmine Clarke (TAKE IT FROM HERE); Mercedes Dorame (UNSEEN CALIFORNIA).

In our Lecture Series, 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝘁, led by Kelli Connell, we are honored to have Sara J. Winston as a Special Guest.

This session will begin with an in-class exercise utilizing Viviane Sassen’s 𝘍𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘰 as inspiration.

Kelli’s presentation will focus on photographing and writing about family, as well as the use of family archives both as subject and material.

This session will also explore how living with disability can affect everyday life at home and how these experiences can be translated into photographic and written work.

In the second part of the class, 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗝. 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 will join us to discuss her work.

Based in New York, she produces photographs for books and exhibitions, writes creative-nonfiction, and makes hybrid image-text photobooks to describe and respond to chronic illness and its ongoing impact on her body, mind, family, and memory.

Sara is the author of several books and serves as Associate Director and Artist in Residence of the Photography Program at Bard College, as well as Co-Chair of the Penumbra Foundation/Image Threads Long Term Photobook Program.

My dear friend @sjwwwinston put together an incredibly insightful #photojournalism piece on discovering that she has MS and what #lifestyle changes needed to be met. It really is so much more than that #foodforthought #foodies #photography #photolens #multiplesclerosis #writing #insight

My project for the Upstate Photography Biennial is called “Pedestals for People,” and for now I’m thinking about how it sits within three distinct kinds of spaces:

1a. The public parks and sidewalks in the city of Kingston, NY.

2a. The galleries of the not-for-profit photography museum CPW.

3a. Here - on the endless digital feed of a publicly traded trillion-dollar company.

1b. If you live in Kingston, you have probably seen (or will see) the work in public.

2b. If you live in New York, I hope you make a visit to CPW.

3b. If you live somewhere else, I hope the digital images and text that I’ll be sharing over the course of this summer provide you with some small feelings of joy and energizing opportunities for contemplation.

Lastly , for now, I want to say that I’ve never had the opportunity to work at this scale before and I’m infinitely grateful to curators @marinaschao and @adamgilesryan for their trust and collaboration. Together, we settled on an installation of my project that would function as a unifying grammar - punctuation marks scattered throughout the entire exhibition space that reiterate the fundamental ways in which large exhibitions create opportunities for dialogue between diverse objects, ideas, and people.
