Terra Study Day on American Photography

24. Mai 2022 Keine Kommentare

2022-Terra-Study-Day-Poster Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

The Rijksmuseum and the Terra Foundation for American Art are pleased to invite you to “Interrogating Western Americana: Photography, Indigeneity, Ecology.”

This convening will examine how photography shaped the ecological and racial narratives that enabled colonialism in the American West. Featuring the work of Native and non-Native scholars, this study day will address this topic from art historical and interdisciplinary perspectives that will reconfigure the ways in which we position photographs of Indigenous peoples and the environment.

This Study Day is free and open to the public and will take place at the Rijksmuseum and online.

Our guest participants include Elizabeth Hutchinson (Columbia University), Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie (University of California, Davis), Jolene Rickard (Cornell University), and Henrietta Lidchi (Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen).

Ankündigung: Studientage für Fotografie 2022

Deutsches Dokumentationszentrum für Kunstgeschichte – Bildarchiv Foto Marburg

Studientage für Fotografie 2022, Deutsches Dokumentationszentrum für Kunstgeschichte – Bildarchiv Foto Marburg

Bereits zum fünften Mal finden in Kooperation mit der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Photographie (DGPh) die „Studientage für Fotografie“ als internationales interdisziplinäres Forschungskolloquium am Deutschen Dokumentationszentrum für Kunstgeschichte – Bildarchiv Foto Marburg (DDK) an der Philipps-Universität Marburg statt. Das Jahresthema „Medienbeziehungen der Fotografie“ / „Media Relations of Photography“ diskutiert vom 19. bis 23. Juli 2022 die multimedialen Kombinationen, intermedialen Wechselwirkungen und Reflexionsverhältnisse zwischen Fotografie und anderen Medien in Gegenwart und Vergangenheit, um Kontinuitäten und Brüche in den Themenfeldern herauszuarbeiten.

Solche Beziehungen wurden traditionell zwischen der Fotografie und den „Künsten“ (Malerei und Literatur) untersucht. Die Studientage 2022 werden das Medienspektrum ausweiten und herausarbeiten, wie Fotografie andere Medien darstellt, ihre Formen kritisch oder affirmativ aufnimmt und reflektiert, in ihnen vorkommt oder sich mit ihnen kombiniert, beispielsweise im film still, in der Zeitschrift, im Fotobuch, Fotoroman, im Theater, Fernsehen und aktuell im Internet. Wenn in all diesen Phänomenen jeweils Medienbeziehungen hergestellt werden, dann werden dabei Medienidentitäten vorausgesetzt wie auch erzeugt.

Photo Archives VIII. The Digital Photo Archive. Theories, Practices and Rhetoric

2. Mai 2022 Keine Kommentare

Photo Archives VIII. The Digital Photo Archive, eikones, Basel

The current ‘archival moment’ (Daston 2017) is characterised by the unprecedented online access to visual material, but also by deep concerns about loss of information. Scholars are confronted with the limitless production and circulation of (sometimes self-produced) digital images, as well as with the fragility of aggregated image clusters. Digitisation and digital photography are established practices, and numerous methods and approaches to the storage and retrieval, indexing, interoperability and sustainability of digital image collections have been tested, debated, applied, expanded, questioned and discarded.

These technological developments mean that more and more people all over the world are involved in creating, manipulating and collecting images. Images and metadata are copied, scraped, aggregated and rearranged in feeds, clusters and databases, both for commercial or scientific purposes. Moreover, big visual data serve as the basis for developing computer vision techniques. While these multifaceted collections evade canonical notions of the archive, archival structures and practices have become a nexus of the post-digital condition.

Conference: PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY WITHOUT PHOTOGRAPHS

1. Februar 2022 Keine Kommentare

Screenshot Photographic History Research Centre: Annual Conference 2022 PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY WITHOUT PHOTOGRAPHS

What is the shape and size of a photographic history that is written from the point of view of having no photographs? When photographs are destroyed, lost, repressed, or never intended to be permanent, it leaves a gap in what we usually refer to as our main research material.

By chance or by design, photographs disappear every day. They might be destroyed, or lost, or designed to fade. They might be rendered undiscoverable through complicated bureaucracy, secrecy, or algorithms. Contemplating the space left without photographs, a veritable foil to the enormity of the image archive, can enrich our understanding of photographic history and methodology. The PHRC seeks contributions interrogating the photographic histories that are not image led, that excavate imageless histories.

Reimagining One’s Own. Ethnographic Photography in Nineteenth- and Early-Twentieth-Century Europe

22. November 2021 Keine Kommentare

Inv.-Nr. pos/774 in der Fotosammlung des Volkskundemuseum Wien ©

The photo collection of the Volkskundemuseum Wien was established along the lines of a “comparative ethnology of Europe” in the late nineteenth century, focusing on the territories of the Habsburg Monarchy. Today, the assembled materials raise manifold questions about their origins and, as a consequence, about the visual ethnography of “one’s own”.

Just as colonial ethnography created an image of the “others,” ethnographers and folklorists in Europe approached their “own” populations within the continent. The work here is always asymmetrical; it was the ethnographers and photographers who determined what the image of those studied by them looked like. Ethnography at the time conceived “people” with a respective essence in mind. It designed primitivizing and exoticizing typologies, such as in the form of so-called type photography—a genre of images that circulated far beyond the narrow scientific context and could serve the most diverse purposes.

Workshop: Transgenerational Corpographies of Memory

10. November 2021 Keine Kommentare

As part of the Images of History in Contemporary Art research project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) in Bern, the workshop Transgenerational Corpographies of Memory will take place:

November 18, 2021, 2:30–6:30 pm
November 19, 2021, 9:00 am–5:00 pm

Location
Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History Potsdam (ZZF)
Am Neuen Markt 9d
14467 Potsdam

Transgenerational Corpographies of Memory is a visual art and history workshop that uses two audio-visual artistic works as a departure point to explore the dimensions and trajectories of transgenerational memory within the medium of artistic film. The workshop consists of two parts: the film screenings and the discursive program. The underlying works stage female biographies of the 20th and early 21st century based on two women’s self-narrated memories. The workshop structure is triadic, meaning that the works will be analyzed from an artistic, art historical and historical perspective in a complementary way. The aim of this transdisciplinary investigation is to explore transgenerational cultural memory work in contemporary art via pictorial “close readings.” The central questions are: How can we grasp the connection between history, transgenerational memories and artistic images of history?

Book Review: “Our Voices, Our Streets”

26. Oktober 2021 Keine Kommentare

Protest is a form of expressing one’s opinions. It allows people who share the same view(s) to rightfully assemble with others to voice complaints and ideas. Bubriski’s book, “Our Voices, Our Streets: American Protests 2001-2011”, looks back at that decade through photographs united by common denominators: the lens of the Hasselblad camera and the public stage of the American streets.

Since the country’s founding, the American streets have been vibrant spaces for political and cultural expressions. They have also been places for demonstrations and protests. The First Amendment of the United States’ Constitution protects freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and the right to petition, and prohibits any restriction of private and non-governmental persons and entities.

The first decade of the 21st century was marked by political, social, and economic events that made the American Streets a public platform for demonstrations.
