What Keeps You Up at Night? EXHIBITION

University of Wisconsin-Madison

 

"What Keeps You Up At Night?" is an exhibition of 50 photographs curated from the Society for Photographic Education (SPE) membership, curated by Tomiko Jones, national SPE board member.

 

Tomiko Jones will be leading several gallery walkthroughs.

 

Monday, October 8 and Tuesday, October 10

Two sessions: 11am and 4:30pm

 

"I was feeling restless on the eve of the 2016 US presidential election. As curator-in-residence I put forth a call to the SPE community to see what would return, anticipating an exhibition of about twenty images. Almost immediately, a flood of responses came in, from undergraduate students to professor emeriti. Wanting to include all voices, "What Keeps You Up At Night?" quickly grew into two volumes of images loosely organized into themes of immigration, religious freedom, criminal, social, and environmental justice, gender and gender-identity equity, and lyrical narratives paralleling national issues–it is all here."

 

The work, now two years later, is still so relevant, in some ways, hauntingly more so.

Iceland’s Vanishing Beauty: Photography by Michael Kienitz

Chazen Museum of Art

September 14 to February 3

Madison photographer Michael Kienitz created these images during five years of work in the region of Vatnajökull National Park in Iceland. A visually stunning area of extremely varied features, the park encompasses—and is named for—Europe's largest glacier. Kienitz calls upon his deep photographic experience to capture this incredible but disappearing landscape of active volcanoes, ice caves, beaches, canyons, waterfalls, wetlands, black sands, and mountains, all created by the combined forces of rivers, glacial ice, and volcanic and geothermal activity.

Preview Reception and Lecture

Issues & Commentary: Ethnic Fraud and Art by America Meredith

A Jimmie Durham retrospective has revived questions about the artist's identity. Two Native writers—Ashley Holland (Cherokee Nation) and America Meredith—respond to Jonathan Griffin's feature on Durham from Art in America's May 2017 issue.  INDIGENOUS IDENTITY can be highly convoluted and fraught. Ho-Chunk photographer Tom Jones explores this complexity in his series “Identity Genocide” (2012–13). Jones overlays photographic portraits of Ho-Chunk children who were denied tribal citizenship with text such as INELIGIBLE, REMOVED, or NOT RECOGNIZED.

Former UW-Madison Undergraduate Jake Naughton recognized in PDN's 30 2017

Each year since 1999, the editors of PDN have selected 30 emerging photographers who represent a variety of styles and genres and have demonstrated a distinctive vision, creativity, and versatility. This year, the editors reviewed the work of close to 300 photographers from around the world. To be considered, the photographers must have been shooting on their own professionally for five years or less. Most were nominated by photo editors, art directors, curators, educators and fellow photographers around the world, and some were invited by editors based on work seen in promotions, portfolio reviews or photo contests.

Painting with Light, with Eric Curry

The following short video tutorial and artist's interview demonstrates how industrial/fine art photographer Eric Curry used the 'Painting with Light' technique to create Submarine. By creating multiple photographs all exposed by lighting different details of the same scene, and then layering those same photographs back together into a single magical image, it does seem that the sum of the parts total more than the individual frames.
