Hey, All: I’m deep in the creative zone planning various photography programs where I live in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. I wrote about this here previously, so I won’t repeat the details. The gist of it: I’m partnering with
@photomidwest and
@artlitlab to program a variety of photo-based exhibitions and artists’ talks in Wisconsin this fall.
We plan to host a weekend photography festival in Madison on September 27-28, 2024. If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll join us. And if you live in these parts and make photographs, I want to hear from you.
I’m organizing a small group show that will feature ten Midwest photographers. I know a lot of imagemakers who live around here, but I’m eager to discover new and exciting artists with fresh perspectives I haven’t seen.
If you live in the Midwest and make pictures, please email me with a link to your website. I’ll finalize my selections soon and don’t want to leave any stone unturned.
In addition to the group show, I’m curating an afternoon of photography talks at the Arts + Literature Laboratory on Saturday, September 28, 2024. I have a few ideas about who I want to bring to Madison for this lecture series, but I don’t know what I don’t know. If you live in one of the Midwest American states and would be interested in working with me to present a talk about your photography, please drop me a line. I’m especially interested in showcasing artists who have published photography books. If that’s you, let me know.
Finally, I’m excited to announce an exhibition I’m curating this summer. The photography I’ve shown here today is by a Milwaukee-based artist named
@jonhorvath . Do you know his work? Jon is an excellent imagemaker, and I’m delighted to collaborate with him. We’ll show photography from This is Bliss, a narrative meditation on a small roadside town in rural Idaho. Jon published a book of these pictures in 2022. The show opens at
@ArtLitLab in July — Stay tuned!
