Upcoming Lectures & Members' Event

Friday, February 6th 7 pm

Lecture: Contemporary Photography Now, or, Today is So Yesterday

George Slade, Photography Curator, Historian, Writer, Advisor, Minneapolis, MN

Location: PCNW Auditorium, Tickets: $6 regular, $4 Members & Students

Given the proliferation of venues for contemporary photographic artists how do viewers and makers navigate the flow of images and assimilate the dialogue surrounding them? This talk, presented in conjunction with the 2009 New Directions juried exhibition at Wallspace Gallery, examines the new wave of photographic practice from the perspective of a curator, consultant, and writer currently caught in that wave, trying to historicize, interpret, and articulate while simultaneously just staying afloat.

George Slade is a historian of photography and a native Minnesotan. He became the artistic director and chief curator of the Minnesota Center for Photography in 2003 after serving as a curator, editor, writer, and advisor to the organization since 1992. His position at MCP ended when the organization closed at the end of July of this year. He is currently an adjunct assistant curator at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts overseeing the installation and presentation of the Museum of Modern Art's major traveling retrospective of Lee Friedlander's photography.

Members' Event: Foto Revu, Saturday, February 7

The FOTO REVU is a unique opportunity for members to receive one-on-one professional critiques by some of the Northwest's most respected people in the field of photography including gallery owners, museum curators, publishers, artists & educators. In the last decade photo review events have become the primary venue for fine art photographers to network & show their work to people that can make a difference in their future. Experiencing Foto Revu is an excellent stepping stone to participating in the international review events such as Fotofest, Review LA, Photolucida, PhotoNOLA and Review Santa Fe.

You must be present at the 8:30 am lottery to select your reviewers for the day. The reviews are twenty minutes a piece.

5 reviews = $150, 10 reviews = $300, 15 reviews = $450. The lottery is a system set up to assure fairness in selecting your reviewers. Participants' names are put into a bowl and drawn randomly. In the order your name is called you will select one reviewer/ time slot in the day. Once everyone's name has been called for their first selection, the process starts over again by putting all participants' names back into the bowl to select your second reviewer. This cycle continues until everyone has all of their reviews scheduled for the day. You should be open to scheduling throughout the whole day so that you have greater opportunity in the getting the reviewers you desire. During down time between reviews you may share your work with others, read a book, or stay nearby in the neighborhood. Stay tuned for a list reviewers. The reviews start at 10 am and run until 5:15 pm. A reception will follow in the gallery for everyone. Contact PCNW front desk to register.
