Open Society Foundations Call for Proposals: Two Opportunities for Documentary Photographers

Posted by Daylight Books on 2011-01-18

The Open Society Documentary Photography Project is currently offering a grant to support alternative models for presenting and disseminating documentary photography to the public. The Audience Engagement Grant supports photographers to take an existing body of work on a social justice or human rights issue and devise an innovative way of using that work as a catalyst for social change. Five to eight grants of $5,000 to $30,000 will be awarded. The deadline to apply is May 13, 2011. Past grantees include Donna De Cesare, Eugene Richards, Jonathan Torgovnik, Mitch Epstein, Wendy Ewald, and many other distinguished photographers.

In addition, the Open Society Foundations invite photographers to submit a body of work for consideration in the Moving Walls 19 group exhibition. Moving Walls is an exhibition series that features in-depth and nuanced explorations of human rights and social issues. Open to both emerging and established photographers, the deadline to submit work is April 1, 2011. Past exhibitions have included work by Benjamin Lowy, Paolo Woods, Ed Kashi, Lynsey Addario, Tim Hetherington, and many more.

Pierre Le Hors: Book Launch and New Work at Ed. Varie (Thursday)

Posted by Daylight Books on 2011-01-15

This Thursday, Pierre Le Hors will be presenting new work, "Alikeness", and also celebrating the launch of his new book "Firework Studies", published by Hassla, at Ed. Varie. The show will feature several small C-Prints, gorgeous images of fluid displacements, and a sculpture. Le Hors wrote the following about the show. "Alikeness is about the impulse to halt time and to preserve, to give permanence to something before it slips away. The group of photographs shown stop motion in order to more closely observe a phenomenon. Likewise, a wax effigy is presented as a record of the artist's body, with funereal implications -- a likeness of youth as death mask (is the figure dead or asleep?). Alikeness is the instant at which a representation (of life, of movement), charged with potential but frozen in time, slips uncomfortably into memento mori." Concurrently, his book "Firework Studies" will make its debut. Over the three hundred plus pages, stark black and white renderings of fireworks shot against the night sky move between spherical explosions, digital noise and clouds of debris. Ed. Varie 208 E. 7th st. West Storefront NYC, NY 10009 Thursday, January 20th, 6-9 pm Pierre Le Hors: http://www.pierrelehors.com Ed.

Happy Birthday, Garry Winogrand!

Posted by Daylight Books on 2011-01-14

The great street photographer Garry Winogrand was born on this day, January 14th, in 1928, in NYC. Happy Birthday, Garry Winogrand! See the exhibition "Women are Beautiful," opening this Monday the 17th at the Emerson Gallery at Hamilton College in Upstate New York Through April 3, 2011 at 198 College Hill Road Clinton, NY 13323 "In 1975 Winogrand published Women are Beautiful, a book of eighty-five photographs of women. The images, culled from hundreds, are candid shots of anonymous women on streets, at social gatherings, marching in protest, and generally going about their daily lives. Winogrand wrote: “Whenever I’ve seen an attractive woman, I’ve done my best to photograph her. I don’t know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know that the women are beautiful in the photographs. By the term ‘attractive woman,’ I mean a woman I react to, positively….I do not mean as a man getting to know a woman, but as a photographer photographing.” Despite his own dissatisfaction with the book and its lack of success, Winogrand later issued two portfolios devoted to the same subject, Women are Beautiful (1981) and Garry Winogrand: Women are better than men. Not only have they survived, they do prevail (1982). This exhibition features a selection of works from the Women are Beautiful and Women are better than men portfolios in the Emerson Gallery collection. It explores Winogrand’s unique style of street photography, his fascination with women, and his desire to contain and study them within the photographic frame."

Todd Hido's "Fragmented Narratives" at Bruce Silverstein Gallery

Posted by Daylight Books on 2011-01-13

Fragmented Narratives, an exhibition of photographs by Todd Hido, is now on view at Bruce Silverstein Gallery through February 12, 2011. Hido (b.1968) is best known for his large-format photographs of urban nightscapes, blurred rural scenes, and chiaroscuro portraits and interiors. This exhibition, which often juxtaposes images from Hido's different monographs, offers a glimpse into the range of his work. If there is one thing that these pictures share it is that they all give loneliness striking visual appeal.
