PALO ALTO PHOTOGRAPHY FORUM IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH SF CAMERAWORK PRESENTS:
Maggie Steber: An Intimate Journey
Moderated by Brian Storm
Friday, November 15, 2019, 7:30 - 9:30 PM
At Mitchell Park Community Center, El Palo Alto Room
(3700 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, CA 94303)

Please join us in Palo Alto for a conversation with Guggenheim Fellow and 2019 Pulitzer Prize finalist, Maggie Steber, who will present work from her long career, from documenting wars to photographing her own family.

‘Photography has the great responsibility to document history but has also been labeled as voyeuristic, especially in this era of smartphones. We see people's lives but what do we really know about them? Where are the surprises? The joys? The heartbreaks? Where is the personal?’

Maggie Steber will take us on a journey where photography becomes an intimate act of documentation, connection and self-discovery. After the presentation, moderator Brian Storm, founder and executive director of MediaStorm, will follow up with an interview and a Q&A session with the audience. Light refreshments included.

Presented by SF Camerawork and Pier 24
Tuesday, October 29, 12 - 1 PM
Location: Pier 24, The Embarcadero, San Francisco, CA 94105

This event is at capacity. If you’d like to be placed on the waitlist please email kristina@sfcamerawork.org

SF Camerawork’s programming series Field Guide presents the unique opportunity to explore new ideas and approaches to photography at off-site venues around the Bay Area. For this Field Guide event, all current SF Camerawork members are invited to a special lunchtime walkthrough at Pier 24 on Tuesday, October 29th. Associate Director Allie Haeusslein will introduce the current exhibition Looking Back: Ten years of Pier 24 Photography.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The first of two consecutive exhibitions that Pier 24 Photography will present on the occasion of its tenth anniversary, Looking Back features photographers and subjects the Pilara Foundation collected in depth before this space opened. Many of these core photographers—including Robert Adams, Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Dorothea Lange, and Hiroshi Sugimoto—have been instrumental to the medium’s development. Reflecting the Foundation’s significant focus on the genre, the exhibition’s opening galleries highlight a wide range of portraiture, ranging from mugshots and works by unknown photographers to iconic images by celebrated figures in the history of photography. The main gallery—entitled “About Face”—spans more than 120 years of the medium, presenting the portrait through the lenses of nearly fifty different artists. With its other thematic galleries, Looking Back also reconsiders subjects explored in some of the ten exhibitions on view since Pier 24 opened. These installations incorporate recent additions to the collection, reframing the themes explored in earlier presentations and demonstrating their continued relevance.

Alex and Rebecca, who’ve published 19 books between them, will show a selection of work they’ve done together and apart, including their newly released joint Aperture book, Brooklyn: The City Within.

They will also show some individual projects, including two new works-in-progress.

Alex Webb has published 17 photography books, including The Suffering of Light, a survey book of 30 years of his color photographs. He’s exhibited at museums worldwide including the Whitney Museum of American Art, N.Y., the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. A Magnum Photos member since 1979, his work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, and other publications. He has received numerous awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2007. His most recent books are La Calle: Photographs from Mexico and the collaboration Slant Rhymes with Rebecca Norris Webb.

Originally a poet, Rebecca Norris Webb often interweaves her text and photographs in her six books, most notably with her monograph, My Dakota—an elegy for her brother who died unexpectedly—with a solo exhibition of the work at The Cleveland Museum of Art (2015), among other venues. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic*, and is in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the George Eastman Museum, Rochester, NY.

ARTIST TALK & BOOK SIGNING
PACE/WIRTZ, Images in Transition: Wirephotos 1938 – 1945
Kirk Crippens, Going South — Big Sur
Wednesday, May 8, 2019
6 – 8 PM

Please join us in the gallery for an artist talk and book signing on Wednesday, May 8th from 6 - 8 PM.  Collaborators David Pace and Stephen Wirtz will share their newly published book Images in Transition: Wirephotos 1938 – 1945 and Kirk Crippens will discuss his latest book Going South — Big Sur.

In Images in Transition: Wirephotos 1938-1945, David Pace and Stephen Wirtz transform news photographs from the Second World War into images with powerful contemporary resonance. Drawing from Wirtz’s extensive collection of wirephotos originally transmitted by radio or wire for publication in newspapers in the United States, Pace and Wirtz scan the originals, radically cropping and dramatically enlarging portions of the images. Images in Transition both continues and subverts the historical process of transforming these wartime images, raising questions about the technologies of image making and image transmission, the history of photography, the notion of truth in journalism, and the role of propaganda in news photography.

Kirk Crippens’ latest book Going South — Big Sur, explores Big Sur’s rugged landscape as well as the locals who call the area home. Crippens began this project after the winter of 2017, when extreme rainfall caused one of the main bridges along Highway 1 to collapse, subsequently shutting off access to the area. During this closure when Big Sur was empty and quiet, Crippens hiked his large format camera into the area, exploring the devastation caused by mudslides, as well as meeting with the resilient residents, and photographing.

Both Going South — Big Sur and Images in Transition: Wirephotos 1938 – 1945 are published by Schilt Publishing and are available in stores and online.

PHOTOALLIANCE LECTURE SERIES:
ANDRÉANNE MICHON AND ASPEN MAYS
Friday, April 19, 2019, 7:30 – 9:30 PM
Location: SFAI, Osher Lecture Hall
(800 Chestnut Street at Jones Street)
Tickets: $15
Show your SF Camerawork Member Card at the door and bring a guest for free!

Please join us at SFAI for a PhotoAlliance Lecture Series with Aspen Mays and SF Camerawork exhibiting artist Andréanne Michon (Colliding, April 11 - June 8, 2019).

Art Papers describes Aspen Mays' work as standing in deft opposition to the technology we have come to rely on for answers, putting faith not in complex databases and rapidly evolving technology, but rather in the ability of everyday objects and materials to spark our imagination. In doing so, she re-imagines the world around us, finding new possibilities in the commonplace.

Toronto-based artist Andréanne Michon has developed a photographic practice that incorporates a series of exchanges between traditional mediums, incorporating straight photography, printmaking, video, sound, sculpture, and pyrogravure. Michon’s processes, which depend on chemical reactions, pressure, heat, darkness, and light, parallel the processes that drive environmental change. These photographic processes, which transmute materials into new substances, seek to interpret geological formations and investigate the earth’s evolution. Film is transformed by heat into undulating sculptures, and carved outlines on linoleum blocks are transformed into lustrous silver gelatin prints. The resulting abstracted images and manipulated objects are photographic meditations on tectonic, volcanic, and cataclysmic forces.

Artist Sanaz Mazinani will sign copies of her hardcover book Signal to Noise, which was produced by SF Camerawork and designed by Bob Aufuldish.  This book elegantly presents the breadth of Mazinani’s work as it was installed at the SF Camerawork gallery in 2017. 40 full-color reproductions capture natural light effects and provide full frame and detail treatments of Mazinani’s intricate photographic wall sculptures. Sanaz Mazinani's multi-disciplinary work wields the transformative power of beauty and exploits the means by which repetition affects our association with visual information.

Chen and Taraneh Hemami.  Following the book signing, a discussion with Once at Present artists, Shiva Ahmadi, Abbas Akhavan, Taravat Talepasand, and Sanaz Mazinani, moderated by Marc Mayer will take place in the downstairs Minnesota Street Project Lounge from 3:00 - 5:00 PM.
