We are elated to share news that Ian van Coller was just awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for his ongoing series, Naturalists of the Long Now. This prestigious award is earmarked for established artists who "add to the educational, literary, artistic, and scientific power of this country [and provide] better international understanding."
Van Coller's work crosses disciplines and puts art into action. It speaks to the far reaches of time, collapses human history, and informs if not demands change and rethinking about the way our planet is evolving.

Reception: Saturday, October 7

Artist's Talk: Saturday, October 7 | 10 - 11 am Great Hall
Paul Turounet is interested in storytelling, perspective, and the space between places, emotions, or states; the tension in his work often emerges from the gaps exposed. Estamos Buscando A (We're Looking For) is a photo-driven installation that examines the psychology of the US|MX border. It is composed of recovered border wall, intimate portraits of migrants on metal plates that the Artist calls retablos, sand, dirt, and found objects such as backpacks and tire-drags.

Read moreRevising History in UK's Black + White Photography Magazine
It was finally my Day! 2015
We are happy to share the following excerpt of an editorial by Susan Burnstine:
When Greenburg adorns herself in one of her many vintage outfits, she admits she feels glamorous. 'I am not a person with problems anymore. I become someone else - someone else who only exists in photographs. Yet, that person - that icon of a person - is something the photograph made up. She is someone without strife, someone without obstacles. We believe so deeply in the truth of "her" that we measure ourselves against what we think we see in the picture. And when we cannot measure up, we then begin to blame the times we live in. Some say, "Oh, people used to be more civilized back then." This is in fact not true. We revise our past, that includes inequality, racism, misogyny and numerous other hardships we conveniently forget.'
