MFA Exhibtion Card 2014

I hope you all had a great spring break. I was in Houston, Texas for Fotofest and saw some great photographs and met lot of interesting characters from around the world.

Remember, this week and the following Tuesday, I will be in France to give a lecture.  We will be having class on April 3. Please make sure to attend this class.

While I am gone, here is an overview of work/projects you should be working on.

-Your handmade book. Please have all your signatures printed and ready to be bound.

-Edit and print ready images for our exhibition on the wall in front of the Fine Arts Office. I would encourage you to generate new work for this exhibit. Please take the exhibit seriously. While we will be just tacking work up, it is your opportunity to show work to the fine arts community including the WSU Museum visitors. The show will be up during the same time as the MFA shows.  I would like to make at least 13x19 prints. So prep you sizes for this.

-If your group has not finished the montage project please do.

-I would like all of your to also generate another montage project on your own.

-We will be having a critique on your project, The In-Between. I need 10 images ready to project on April 3.

-If you missed the last critique (You know who you are) Have work ready. It would be a bummer to not give you points for this assignment.

And finally, have a great week. Make lots of memorable photos and don’t hesitate to e-mail me if you have questions.

Zoe Strauss's Real and Imagined Class at Cal Arts

Zoe posted that she was teaching this class on Facebook. It looks very interesting as right in line with our classes this spring. She writes: "The “Real and Imagined” workshop will address the inherent contradiction present in all still photographs: photos are simultaneously fact and fiction."
