Nan Goldin, Nan one month after being battered, 1984.
[PRC press release] Vicki Goldberg, one of the leading voices in the field of photography criticism, will discuss how and why American women photographers, most prominently Cindy Sherman and Nan Goldin, came to the attention of the photography world in the late 1970s and early 1980s after lurking on the fringes for a long time. She will also examine the way the principle concerns of that first crop of important women artists, including the entire appropriation movement, have persisted to the present day and continue to influence photographers.
“One of photography’s most revered and beloved critics, Goldberg examines both the history of photography and our current state of affairs with curiosity, wit, and cutting insight.” – Photo Eye
Vicki Goldberg has published six books and written introductions to more than twenty monographs and catalogues as well as writing about photography for the New York Times for thirteen years. Her books, The Power of Photography: How Photographs Changed Our Lives and Margaret Bourke-White: A Biography, were each named one of the best books of the year by the American Library Association; the anthology she edited, Photography in Print: Writings from 1816 to the Present, was cited in The Wall Street Journal in 2006 as one of the five best of all books on photography. She has received numerous awards for writing, including the International Center of Photography’s Infinity Award, the Royal Society’s Dudley Johnston Award, and the Long Chen Cup (China). She lectures internationally and writes on photography for various magazines.
John Goodman’s ‘Echo’ at Howard Yezerski
JOHN GOODMAN: ECHO | Curated by Bonnell Robinson
Howard Yezerski Gallery | Boston, MA
Until March 13, 2012
Bonnell Robinson at Howard Yezerski Gallery, February 2012
John Goodman and Howard Yezerski, February 2012
[Press release] Howard Yezerski Gallery is pleased to present Echo, a solo exhibition of Boston- based photographer John Goodman. The exhibition is selected from photographs representing more than three decades of Goodman’s work and is curated by Bonnell Robinson.
Along with selections from his acclaimed book on boxing, The Times Square Gym, and his well known portfolios of Havana and the Boston Ballet, there are images never before exhibited from travels in Cuba, Italy and the USA. A constant in all Goodman’s work is his connection to people and his ability to photograph them during the moments when they are most revealed. He captures the boxer lost in thought, the ballet dancer preparing for her moment onstage, a gospel singer in song, the couple who have playfully shed their clothes on a summer day to pose for his camera.
Goodman’s world is one in which oppositions become dualities-one can’t exist without the other. We see it in his choice of subject matter:
“I am drawn to the body and its contradictions. I explore the contest between light and dark, male and female, grit and tenderness youth and age, power and grace.”
Goodman’s characteristic syntax and atmosphere draw us inside events we might ordinarily overlook. Blur, grain, softened edges are protagonists in Goodman’s work suggesting the very act of perception. Nothing can be captured with entire clarity because life itself escapes the confines of the frame. Like the photographer, the subjects of Goodman’s world are in constant motion: people sing, dance, fight, gamble, and cut loose. And the moment passes. Even lovers on a beach, enjoying an intimate stillness, disappear by the final image. The bittersweet qualities of Goodman’s work build towards his own kind of summation in this exhibition about life–and these photographs are Goodman’s tribute to living it fully.
John Goodman’s work is represented in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. His work has appeared in New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Esquire, and Rolling Stone. Goodman studied with the photographer Minor White in the 1970′s and is now on the faculty of the Art Institute of Boston.

7 turkish artists @ photographic resource center
7 Turkish Artists: Mike Mandel & Chantal Zakari
September 13 – November 12, 2011
Panel Discussion: Thursday, October 27, 2011, 6:30 pm
BU College of Arts & Sciences Room 522, 725 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston

7 Turkish Artists engages the social themes that define contemporary Turkey, specifically examining the imagery of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, its revolutionary leader after World War I. This show provides a critical visual exploration on the meaning of Atatürk’s imagery and how it is used in Turkish society today. Between 1997 and 2010, artists Zakari and Mandel, one Turkish, one American, chronicle their experiences photographing people, secular and Western, or religious and conservative in appearance. They conducted interviews and collected found material from archives, gathering popular historical illustrations and found Atatürk postcards that span a thirty year period and illustrate the cult status of his image. The artists’ recent book, The State of Ata, seeks to recognize the complex relationship in Turkey between secularists, the Islamist movement and military power.
a century of photogravure @ aib
September 6 – October 23 2011
Reception: September 15, 5pm to 7pm
Works by Edward Steichen, Frederick Evans, Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Aaaron Siskind, Lee Friedlander, Parke-Harrison, Kiki Smith, Ruth Thorne-Thomsen, David Levinthal, Lothar Osterburg, Melagros de la Torre, Paul Taylor, and many others.
Adolf De Meyer, The Fountain of Saturn, 1912
This exhibition brings together 20 artists and over 60 of the finest works ever produced by the photogravure process. An invention that coincided with the birth of photography, photogravure transforms the silver image into an intaglio print. Initially used as a means of reproducing photographic imagery in journals and books, gravure—especially hand pulled gravure–became prized for its own luminous syntax and has attracted major photographic artists and printmakers.
Alfred Stieglitz’s publication Camera Work (1903-1917) established the highest standards for photographic reproduction in gravure and when printed directly from the original negative. He considered the gravure image an original print. Selections from Camera Work include images by Evans, Coburn, Steichen, Stieglitz, Seeley, Keiley, White and De Meyer.
A few early artists like Evans and Coburn became skilled plate makers while others like Steichen and Strand collaborated with photogravure craftsmen associated with large printing houses. With the end of mechanical photogravure, today there are only a few studios that still produce gravure. Jon Goodman in Northampton, Lothar Osterburg in Brooklyn, Paul Taylor in New Hampshire, and Jim Stroud outside Boston are among the few. Among the contemporary artists who have collaborated with them are Kiki Smith, Lee Friedlander, John Dugdale, Parke-Harrison, Thorne Thomsen, Levinthal, among others.
This exhibition celebrates their work and the continuation of this beautiful and expressive medium.
Lothar Osterburg, Piranesi State 1, 2008
As demanding as any of the intaglio processes, gravure allows for manipulation of the print from image to image by adjustments to inking, wiping the plate, and additional work post-production. Lothar Osterburg, one of a handful of contemporary artists working in gravure, approaches each print as the basis for additional drawing and painting.
Exhibition has been curated by exhibition director Bonnell Robinson and majority of works drawn from Boston area collections.

For the Record: Searching for Objectivity in Global Conflict
Montserrat College of Art, Beverly, MA
August 22 – October 22, 2011
Left image: Matthew Ernst, Bomb Swimmy, 2004, Mixed media on paper; right image: Sophie Ristehueber, Fait (Fact), 1992, Chromogenic color print
Bombarded by information from a variety of sources, it is often difficult as observers of current affairs to fully make sense of the concepts and facts presented. Artists offer us the opportunity to engage and interpret this information in an alternative way. They were the first compelled to record and present the events of the world. Artists illustrate and record many aspects of war in a variety of ways, whether through genuine factual representation (witness accounts of war) through war reportage drawing and/or documentary work or as artistic interpretation (visual response to war). The artists in For The Record offer a testament of the effects of war and conflict on people, societies and the physical earth.
Featuring: Fiona Banner, Nina Berman, Matthew Ernst, Harun Farocki, Benjamin Lowy, Steve Mumford, James O’Neill, Gerhard Richter, Sophie Ristelhueber, and Rob Roy.
Curated by Montserrat Faculty Rob Roy and Gordon Arnold
in collaboration with Gallery Director Leonie Bradbury
