Fred Bidwell Gallery Talk TONIGHT!

 

Fred Bidwell Gallery Talk
Sep 25, 6pm
Transformer Station
1460 W 29th St. Cleveland, OH

Fred Bidwell, Co-founder of Transformer Station will make a special presentation in the galleries on in the final week of “Unknown: Pictures of Strangers” to share his thoughts on the art and artists of this remarkable exhibition. Bidwell will discuss the concept of the show which explores how artists use photography to capture images of strangers. Through the back-stories of many of the works on view and other examples of the artists’ works, this talk will address the many intended meanings of anonymous portraits and their often charged relationships to issues of social taboos, privacy, anonymity, self-image and class distinctions. Admission is free and open to the public.

CSU Photo Represents in Case Reserve Review

CSU photo was well represented in the Fall 2014 issue of Case Reserve Review, a literary and art journal published by Case Western Reserve University. In fact, we dominated. Congratulations to Yiyun Chen who nabbed the cover and to everyone else who was published. Many of you had multiple images published. Stay awesome.

Hard copies are available on the campus of CWRU. Here’s a link to the PDF.
