December 6, 2018 - On view at the New York Public Library through February 17, 2019❤️ From the NYPL website: “Anna Atkins (1799–1871) came of age in Victorian England, a fertile environment for learning and discovery. Guided by her father, a prominent scientist, Atkins was inspired to take up photography, and in 1843 began making cyanotypes—a photographic process invented just the year before—in an effort to visualize and distribute information about her collection of seaweeds. With great daring, creativity, and technical skill, she produced Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions, the first book to be illustrated with photographs, and the first substantial application of photography to science. Ethereal, deeply hued, and astonishingly detailed, the resulting images led her and her friend Anne Dixon to expand their visual inquiry to flowering plants, feathers, and other subjects. This exhibition draws upon more than a decade of careful research and sets Atkins and her much-admired work in context, shedding new light on her productions and showcasing the distinctive beauty of the cyanotype process, which is still used by artists today. See how Atkins's legacy lives on through the works of artists today in our companion exhibition Anna Atkins Refracted: Contemporary Works, on view September 28, 2018–January 6, 2019 Create your own Cyanotypes at a branch library through NYPL's brand new "Crafting the Collections" initiative. Open now. Ends February 17th, 2019. Stephen A. Schwarzman Building” Thank you #larryjschaafphotohistorian #joshuachuangcurator #annaatkins #annaatkinsrefracted #mvsontheroad

March 22, 2019 - “Evenings with THE MOON” is artist Wendi Schneider’s current exhibition, on view through May 30th at The Gallery at Mr. Pool in Boulder, Colorado. This selection features 26 works created in the past 7 years (primarily 2019, pigment ink on vellum or Japanese kozo over white gold leaf), installed with pairings of poetry. Beautiful vision, masterful execution. From Wendi’s website: “In Evenings with the Moon, artist Wendi Schneider contemplates the power of universal experiences to unify and find transcendence using the moon as muse. Printed on vellum or Japanese kozo and gilded with precious metals, the subjects echo the luminosity of their celestial inspiration. Schneider’s ethereal images of the night draw on the metaphor of darkness and light to express our collective longing for harmony and balance amidst the chaos of the world. This synthesis of form and content, paired with poignant poetry, allows the viewer to enter a space between the real and the imagined to consider the commonalities in our collective consciousness. Owned and operated by Terry Seidel and Ann Helke, Mr Pool Gallery has been a longtime beloved cultural hub to the community of Boulder and the front range. Mr. Pool Gallery 2347 South Street Boulder, CO 80302 www.mrpoolinc.com” #wendischneiderartist #eveningswiththemoon #mopcolorado2019 #thegalleryatmrpoolboulder #mvsontheroad

October 18, 2016 - This morning I had the pleasure of speaking to the Seniors in the Department of Photography and Imaging at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Great questions, stimulating dialogue about markets for photographs, understanding copyright, how to handle commission requests that pay nothing or nearly nothing... so much to consider when setting out into a career in photography (or is it 'visual content?' today?). This shot by Professor Lorie Novak is about halfway through a build outlining who buys prints. Thank you NYU and @lorie.novak @debwillisphoto @markjenkinsonphoto @tischphoto @nyutisch @nyuniversity #mvsontheroad
April 4, 2023 - Don’t walk - RUN to this exhibition at the Met: Berenice Abbott’s New York Album, 1929 March 2nd - September 4th, 2023 Now on view at The Met Fifth Avenue, Gallery 852 Free with Museum admission From metmuseum.org : “In January 1929, after eight years in Europe, the American photographer Berenice Abbott (1898–1991) boarded an ocean liner to New York City for what was meant to be a short visit. Upon arrival, she found the city transformed and ripe with photographic potential. “When I saw New York again, and stood in the dirty slush, I felt that here was the thing I had been wanting to do all my life,” she recalled. With a handheld camera, Abbott traversed the city, photographing its skyscrapers, bridges, elevated trains, and neighborhood street life. She pasted these “tiny photographic notes” into a standard black-page album, arranging them by subject and locale. Consisting of 266 small black-and-white prints arranged on thirty-two pages, Abbott’s New York album marks a key turning point in her career—from her portrait work in Paris to the urban documentation that culminated in her federally funded project, Changing New York (1935–39). Berenice Abbott’s New York Album, 1929 presents a selection of unbound pages from this unique album, shedding new light on the creative process of one of the great photographic artists of the twentieth century. For context, the exhibition also features views of Paris by Eugène Atget (French, 1857–1927), whose extensive photographic archive Abbott purchased and publicized; views of New York City by her contemporaries Walker Evans, Paul Grotz, and Margaret Bourke-White; and photographs from Changing New York. The exhibition is made possible by The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, Inc.” @metmuseum #bereniceabbott #bereniceabbottchangingnewyork #eugeneatget #mvsontheroad
August 11, 2023 - Hank Willis Thomas: “I heard the singing of the Mississippi”, 2023 Swipe to see the layers of historic images that are revealed when light is pointed at this engaging and thought-provoking work from Hank’s new series titled “I’ve Known Rivers” on view through August 26th, 2023 at PACE Los Angeles. Technical details: From the checklist, this work is “Screen printed and UV printed retroreflective vinyl mounted on Dibond. 95-3/4” x 120” x 2” (243.2 XM x 304.8 cm x 5.1 cm) No. 87583.” From the Pace Gallery press release: “Over the past ten years, Thomas has mastered the retroreflective medium, creating mixed media works that reveal two distinct scenes transfigured by both ambient and flash lighting. Seen from one perspective, these artworks present bold figurations, abstractions, and landscapes in saturated colors; seen from another, fragmented archival scraps from Thomas’s production of other retroreflective works over the last decade are revealed. As these elements converge and transform, they shed light on new layers of images, ideas, and meanings that are hidden in plain sight. Thomas’s retroreflective works can also be understood as personal records of his artistic process and the historical references that recur throughout his practice.” @hankwillisthomas @pacegallery #hankwillisthomas #hankwillisthomasiveknownrivers #hankwillisthomasretroreflectiveworks #pacegallerylosangeles #mvsontheroad

Today, photographs are everywhere, whether made with a smartphone or encountered online, at home, in magazines—or here, in an art museum. Photography’s power is undeniable: photographs communicate what words cannot. This thematically organized exhibition draws from Mia’s vast and varied collection of approximately 12,500 photographs. Together, they form a constellation of photographic visions and practices that extend across numerous places and points in time, revealing a multiplicity of histories, techniques, and perspectives. One of the first art museums in the United States to collect photography—since 1965—Mia continues to expand its collection. This exhibition also showcases many recent acquisitions and promised gifts that provide new connections and insights.” #carrollthartwell #mvsontheroad
