丽水市

I’m am absolutely delighted to have been invited to exhibit at the Lishui International Photo Festival in Lishui, China, from November 28 until Dec 4th, 2009.    Approximately twenty Museum and Gallery directors from the US were invited to participate along with thirty other US photographers, who will have their work shown at the Festival.  It is indeed a great honor to be part of this group of thirty. 

I will be travelling to Lishui to participate.  After that, I plan on joining up with a good friend and fellow photographer showing at Lishui, Elaine Ling, to photograph the southern coast of China from Hainan island, then going back to Hong Kong to shoot the streets at night.

My photograph, Moon Rising, 12:29am, is part of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, “The Moon”, exhibition.  On display from Septeber 27, 2009 to January 10th, 2010.   http://www.mfah.org/moon/

Details about the exhibit from the MFAH:

In a dazzling presentation that weaves together art and science, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, presents The Moon: “Houston, Tranquility Base Here. The Eagle Has Landed,” an exhibition that chronicles mankind’s enduring fascination with Earth’s nearest planetary neighbor over five centuries. Marking the 40th anniversary of the first manned moon landing in 1969, the exhibition includes moonlit landscapes by the Old Masters and the Impressionists; Ansel Adams’s iconic Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico; shots famously taken on the moon by the crew of Apollo 11; and recent images created by exposing photographic paper to the movement of the moon itself. Charting the path of scientists, along with that of artists, in their efforts to explore the moon, the exhibition also presents early scientific documents and instruments, including a 17th-century telescope and one of Galileo’s first treatises.

The exhibition was developed by Andreas Blühm, director of the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Cologne, Germany, and is presented in Houston in an expanded version under the direction of the MFAH’s associate curator of European art, Helga Aurisch.

The title of the exhibition’s presentation in Houston is taken from the now-famous first words that Commander Neil Armstrong broadcast to Mission Control, after Apollo 11 landed on the moon on Sunday, July 20, 1969: “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.”

By changing the call signal to Tranquility Base, the landing site, Armstrong informed his colleagues back on Earth that the landing craft had set down on the moon.

This exhibition was originally conceived by the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation
Corboud, Cologne, Germany. In Houston, the exhibition receives generous funding
from Mrs. Linda K. Finger. Major corporate support is provided by Boeing. Additional
support is provided by the William Stamps Farish Fund, Mr. James E. Maloney,
Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Reckling III, Mr. and Mrs. James C. Flores, the Hildebrand Fund,
Martha Katherine Long, and Mr. and Mrs. Melvyn L. Wolff.

Arcadia at ClampArt in New York ran from June 11 – August 14, 2009.

I received some installation shots from the gallery of that exhibit

ClampArt is pleased to present “Arcadia,” a group exhibition including artworks by James Bidgood, Aziz + Cucher, Olaf Otto Becker, Stan Gaz, Karen Gunderson, Christopher Harris, Mark Jaremko, Lori Nix, Arthur Tress, Stephen Wilkes, Frank Yamrus, and Marc Yankus.

Arcadia refers to the Greek province of the same name that dates to antiquity. It is a mountainous, remote region, which in many accounts was the birthplace of the Greek god, Zeus; his son, Hermes; and also the home of Pan and his court of dryads, nymphs, and other spirits of nature. Arcadia came to be synonymous with paradise, and the name often refers to a utopian vision of pastoralism and harmony with the natural world.

In the dawn of the 21st century, amidst stock market crashes, Ponzi schemes, and global warming, the notion of the possibility of a modern-day Arcadia offers great solace, however unrealistic and out-of-reach.

Lori Nix’s photograph of an entirely false and fabricated paradise constructed in the confines of her Brooklyn studio out of cheap and artificial materials may be the most for which we can hope. Similarly, Aziz + Cucher’s mammoth shots of natural imagery which are then fragmented and distorted into fields of pixels by means of a series of digital filtering programs are along similar conceptual lines. And Karen Gunderson’s large black paintings, while based on actual landscapes she has personally seen, ultimately depict what are simply fantasy realms in our collective imagination, such as Shangri-La.

Artists Christopher Harris, Mark Jaremko, and Stephen Wilkes shoot images of the modern landscape, which is punctuated by traces of man’s hand, optimistically seeking shreds of halcyon experiences in this day and age.

Olaf Otto Becker, Stan Gaz, Frank Yamrus, and Marc Yankus, on the other hand, search for whatever remaining unspoiled, untouched vestiges of nature still remain—regions that appear yet uncorrupted by civilization (despite such implausibility).

I attended the Art of Photography Show in San Diego last week, what a great opening, two floors and 102 photographs. My Nightscape 1 photograph, in 30″x30″ size, is pictured below next to Jeff Flindt’s amazing underwater “Fiji Under Water” photograph and Vladimir Fanning’s “Horsetail Falls”. Vladimir mentioned that the sun hitting the falls at the precise angle needed for this photograph only happens for 15 minutes once a year!
