This photographic project includes the portraits and accompanying oral histories of the former tenant farmers as well as photographs created at the restored Jones Family Tenant House and the Beadel House, the plantation house, at Tall Timbers.
Accompanying Beate in her talk will be Juanita Whiddon, the archivist from Tall Timbers Research and Land Conservancy (formally Tall Timbers Plantation).

Both events are free and open to the public.
“Oceana is a presentation of new photographic works by SCAD alumna Lisa M. Robinson (M.F.A., photography, 1999). Poetically depicting the transformative nature of water, Robinson captures storm surges and calm reflective moments as well as the formation of ice and flowing currents. Together, these images dramatically describe the shape and movement of water, which comprises two-thirds of our world’s surface.
Following the reception, Lisa M. Robinson will present work that illustrates her own journey as a photographer. Included in the lecture will be imagery from her first monograph, Snowbound, as well as her most recent series, Oceana.”
The exhibition Oceana, will on view until March 30, 2012 at:

Artist talk by scott b. davis
Friday, March 2, 2012 at 7:00 pm
Admission: $5 members, students, military, seniors | $10 nonmembers
James S. Copley Auditorium
“While scott b. davis (who uses a specialized shorthand in which he forgoes capitalization) is inspired by the topography of various parts of the United States, he frequently uses Southern California as his muse. Taken at night with a large-format camera, certain photographs of Southern California document iconic aspects of the region including the Hollywood sign and the bright lights of Los Angeles. Other works in this exhibition offer surprising takes on the area with moody and enigmatic looks at seemingly abandoned highways, parking lots, and buildings.”
From davis’ email: “[in this lecture] i will be highlighting my work and influences over the past decade. the talk begins at 7pm, and coincides with my solo exhibition at the museum. the lecture will be followed by a film screening of jim jarmusch’s dead man at 8pm.”
davis’ lecture is being presented in conjunction with his exhibition Walk From the Sun: Photographs of Southern California. The exhibition will be up until March 18, 2012.

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.

Janelle Lynch, Los Jardines de México
Thursday, December 1, 2011
Artist Talk at 5:30 pm
Opening Reception from 6:30 to 8:00pm
“Janelle Lynch‘s photographs in her recent title, Los Jardines de México explore themes related to the life cycle and its representations in the urban and rural landscape. Made between 2002 and 2007, each project investigates, if not embraces, a specific facet of existence: loss, death, regeneration, and life. The exhibition is comprised of four series: El Jardín de Juegos, serving as her first project upon moving to Mexico City; Donde Andaba, juxtaposing wild plant life with architecture; Akna, anthropomorphizing tree stumps in a nature reserve; and La Fosa Común, focusing on a functioning, century-old common grave centrally located within the city. The combination of these four bodies of work, three from Mexico City and one from Chiapas, examines the persistence of life. ”
