Article on CMA’s DIY: Photography & Books

 

Over the last five years, Barbara Tannenbaum, curator of photography at the Cleveland Museum of Art, has been noticing a growing pile of inexpensively printed, artist-made photobooks in her office. In this digitized age when so much of our experience of photography is limited to viewing pixels on a screen, Tannenbaum was coming back from photo festivals year after year with more bound printed matter in hand than ever before…

Pieter Hugo Lecture at CMA

 

Pieter Hugo Photography Lecture
Cleveland Museum of Art
Jan. 19, 2pm

NOTE:  This lecture was previously scheduled in November 2012 and rescheduled due to the impact of Hurricane Sandy on Hugo’s travel.

Can photography expand the way we view Africa? The museum offers an eye to contemporary Africa with a lecture by South African  photographer Pieter Hugo.

On Saturday, January 19 at 2:00 p.m. in the Lecture Hall, Pieter Hugo will talk about his recent work. A native of Johannesburg who now lives in Cape Town, Hugo describes himself as “a political-with-a-small-p photographer . . . it’s hard not to be as soon as you pick up a camera in South Africa.” The lecture is free and open to the public.

Hugo was born in 1976 in Johannesburg and grew up in Cape Town, where he continues to live. Recent solo shows have taken place at the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia (2010); Le Chateau d’Eau in Toulouse, France (2010); the Australian Centre for Photography in Sydney (2009), and Foam_Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam (2008). Group exhibitions include The Global Contemporary: Art worlds after 1989 at ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (2011); The Endless Renaissance, Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach, Florida (2009); Street & Studio: An urban history of photography at Tate Modern, London (2008).

Transformer Station Opens via Cool Cleveland

Since breaking ground last year on an ambitious re-use of an old electrical transit substation and an audacious addition, Fred & Ruth Bidwell have been hard at work creating a venue in Ohio City to exhibit their own collection of contemporary photographs under the auspices of the Bidwell Foundation. The 8000 square foot museum will be programmed by the Bidwells for 6 months of the year, and by the Cleveland Museum of Art the other 6 months.

Exhibitions open 2/1/13.

Visit Cool Cleveland’s site to read more. It features this great interview with founders, Fred and Laura Bidwell.

Don’t overlook that The Transformer Station is looking for a full-time gallery manager! Visit Transformer Station’s website for more info.

New Directive: Photograph Your Cat

Barbara Tannenbaum, the new curator of photography at the Cleveland Museum of Art, has an exhibition called “DIY: Photographers and Books.” Since the advent of digital printing, self-made photo books have flourished among photographers, from beginners to seasoned professionals. Visitors to the museum are invited to look through more than 150 photo books on a long table in the gallery. All of them are for sale. It is literally a hands-on exhibit that runs through Dec. 30th. Tannenbaum spoke with PDQ’s Michael Heaton.
