Artist Lecture by Stephen Shore
Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 7:00 pm
Free and open to the public. Seating is first, come first served. Doors open at 5:00 pm.
“In 1972, self-taught photographer Stephen Shore set out from his native New York City to Amarillo, Texas, on the first of what would become a decade’s worth of road trips across America. Shore’s trademark photographs of middle-American landscapes, interiors, and figures helped establish color photography as an accepted medium in the world of art. At age twenty-three, he was the second living photographer to have a one-man show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Shore has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; International Center of Photography, New York; George Eastman House, Rochester; Kunsthalle, Dusseldorf; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Jeu de Paume, Paris; and Art Institute of Chicago. He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts and, most recently, received a commission from the CCA Wattis Institute of Contemporary Art to document the United States in its current state of economic downturn. Since 1982, he has been the Director of the Photography Program at Bard College in New York State, where he serves as the Susan Weber Professor in the Arts.”

“Danny Lyon (American, b. 1942) is recognized as one of the most original and influential photographers in America. A pioneer of the photographic genre of ‘New Journalism,’ Lyon works by immersing himself alongside the life of his subjects. In this way, he has produced major bodies of work in situ including the notorious series, The Bikeriders (1967), in which he became a member of the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle club; and, receiving unprecedented access to death-row inmates at the Walls Unit in Huntsville, Texas, he recorded the environs of “lifers,” in Conversations with the Dead (1971). His current project has centered upon “Occupy” rallies in Oakland, New York, and Albuquerque.
Over the last forty years, Lyon has created numerous bodies of groundbreaking work, highly collectible photo books and films. His photography has been featured in major, solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and, the Center for Creative Photography, University of Arizona. He has received two Guggenheim Fellowships for photography and filmmaking, a Rockefeller Fellowship, and ten National Endowment for the Arts awards. He is the founding member of the photography group, Bleak Beauty.”
This lecture is being presented in conjunction with the exhibition Reconsidering the Photographic Masterpiece on view until July 2012.

Artist Talk by Dan Estabrook
Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 11:30 am
“For over 20 years, Dan Estabrook has been making contemporary art using a variety of 19th-century photographic techniques. Recently he has focused on the earliest paper photographs – calotype negatives and salted paper prints – as sources for hand manipulation with paint and pencil. He balances his interests in photography with forays into sculpture, painting, drawing and other works on paper.”

February 15th, Phoenix: Artist Talk by Matthew Moore
Phoenix Art Museum
Artist talk by Matthew Moore
Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 7:00 pm
Free and open to the public. Seating is first come, first served.
“An Arizona-based artist and farmer, Matthew Moore (b. 1976) is the last of four generations to farm his family’s land. Through his art, using the legacy and scale of Land Art, Moore explores the loss of farmland to urban growth in the metropolitan Phoenix area, as well as contemporary consumers’ alienation from the basic principles of agriculture. And the Land Grew Quiet: New Work by Matthew Moore represents an innovative and new direction in Moore’s work, contrasting the cycles of development and speculation in our own time with those of the Great Depression by mixing technology and nature as well as fiction and history. It is conceived as a single project that maps urban growth on the land and nature’s resistance to the man-made within the sublime context of the harsh but awe-inspiring landscape and climate of central Arizona.”
This lecture is being presented in conjunction with Moore’s exhibition And the Land Grew Quiet: New Work by Matthew Moore, on view until June 10, 2012.

Artist Talk by Uta Barth
Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 7:00 pm
Admission: Free and open to the public, parking is $4. Reservations not required.
Reception to follow.
“Uta Barth is internationally recognized for images bordering on painterly abstraction. The artist renders blurred backgrounds, cropped frames, and the natural qualities of light to capture incidental and fleeting moments which exist almost exclusively within our periphery. With deliberate disregard for both the conventional photographic subject and the point and shoot role of the camera, Barth’s work deconstructs the conventions of visual representation, calling attention to the limits of the human eye.”
