Portfolio Review

10am – 4pm SFAI
$100 (sliding scale fees available) Reservations Required

Lecture
Monday, December 7
6pm Tipton Hall
$5 general | $2.5 students/seniors/sfai members

The Santa Fe Art Institute is pleased to bring you award-winning documentary photographer, Susan Meiselas as part of our 2009 Visiting Artist & Lecture season, Memory: Shadow and Light | Art as individual/collective memory. Join us for her lecture on Monday, December 7th where Meiselas will talk about how her work is, by its very nature, charged with the sometimes antagonistic ideas of memory versus history. You can also come by the SFAI between 9am – 5pm M-F through December 31st and see two of her photographs in our Memory: Shadow & Light exhibition.

Susan Meiselas is an American photographer best known for her work covering the political upheavals in Central America in the 1970s and 1980s. Meiselas’ process has evolved in radical and challenging ways as she has grappled with pivotal questions about her relationship to her subjects, the use and circulation of her images in the media, and the relationship of images to history and memory. Since the 1970s, questions of ethics raised by documentary practice have been central to debates in photography. Perhaps no other photographer has so closely and consistently represented and participated in these debates than Meiselas. Her insistent engagement with these concerns has positioned her as a leading voice in the debate on contemporary documentary practice.

David Maisel, May 11 Lecture, May 12 Portfolio Review

Posted on April 16, 2009 by sfaiblog

For more than twenty years, photographer David Maisel has chronicled the tensions between nature and culture in his large-scaled photographs of environmentally impacted landscapes. In the multi-chaptered series Black Maps, Maisel’s aerial images become sublime meditations on what the curator Anne Tucker has termed ‘the engaging duality between beauty and repulsion.’ In Maisel’s recent project, Library of Dust, he continues to investigate a zone bordered by aesthetics and ethics. The series depicts individual copper canisters, each containing the cremated remains of patients from a state-run psychiatric hospital, whose bodies have been unclaimed by their families. Maisel has recently been an Artist in Residence at both the Getty Research Institute and at the Headlands Center for the Arts
