Hockenhull Lecture: Ayana V. Jackson


Hockenhull Lecture: Ayana V. Jackson

Photographer, artist and activist Ayana V. Jackson will present the Jo Hockenhull Distinguished Lecture, titled “Archival Impulse. Admission is free and open to the public, and a reception will follow in the lobby.

Jackson’s work seeks to crystallize the experience of contemporary Africa and African diasporic societies. She combines honed technical skills with richly laced historical allusions to create hauntingly candid portraits that depict varying constructions of African and African-American identities. She does this through several photographic approaches ranging from reportage and portraiture to performance and studio based practice.


A selection of Jackson’s work will also be exhibited in the CUB Gallery March 16 through April 1. Open daily, the gallery is located on the first floor of the CUB near the southeast entrance.

The 2015 Jo Hockenhull Distinguished Lecture is presented by the Department of Critical Culture, Gender, and Race Studies, with support from the College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Fine Arts, Humanities Planning Group, Dean of Students, Department of Sociology, African American Student Center, Office of Equity and Diversity, Global Campus, Museum of Art, Department of Foreign Languages and Cultures, Office of the Provost, Department of English, Asian American and Pacific Islander Student Center, Multicultural Student Services, and Department of History.

WSU Musuem of Art: Corbis and Maier


Through the Lens, an American Century: Corbis & Vivian Maier
Exhibition: January 12 – April 3, MOA Gallery

Reception: Thursday, January 22, 6-8 pm, Featuring Dennis DeHart, MOA Gallery

The Washington State University Museum of Art is proud to present two distinct exhibitions in Through the Lens: An American Century – Corbis & Vivian Maier, which explore the personal and public uses of photography featuring some of the most famous images in history and - with a recent discovery - the most private. The exhibition opens January 12, 2015 and runs through April 3, 2015.

A public reception will be held 6 pm Thursday, Jan. 22, in the Museum of Art/WSU gallery with a talk, “What makes a lasting image”, given by photography professor Dennis DeHart. An additional public reception will be held 6 pm Thursday, Feb. 12, in the Museum of Art/WSU gallery with a talk given by art historian Marianne Kinkel before the documentary screening of the film Finding Vivian Maier at 7 pm in the CUB Auditorium. Admission is free.

This exhibit also features emerging student photographers from across the country. Students use their cameras as a vehicle to create portraits of our nuanced communities while simultaneously posing the question, “What constitutes a lasting and meaningful image?”

Corbis: From the Collection of Tony and Leslie Rojas
Since its founding, Corbis has collected hundreds of thousands of photographs that represent great and small moments throughout history.  Here we showcase a selection of 32 iconic photographs through times of war or peace, the first flight at Kitty Hawk and the moon landing, and the quest for civil rights.  Each picture stands as a defining visual moment within a signature event or personality in the 20th century. All works come to us from the Tony and Leslie Rojas Collection of Photography.

Vivian Maier
Vivian Maier was born in 1926 and spent most of a quiet anonymous life in Chicago.  She died in 2009 and left no heirs or family. Unbeknownst to anyone, she did however leave a legacy of brilliant “street photography:” a hundred thousand negatives, thousands of rolls of undeveloped film, in color and black and white, and one hundred and fifty 8-mm. and 16-mm. films.  The images exhibited represent a selection of the photographs that were discovered after her death.

Funding for this exhibition is provided by Tony & Leslie Rojas and Members of the Museum of Art.  The Museum of Art is located on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium in the Fine Arts Center on the WSU Pullman campus. Gallery hours are Monday - Saturday, 10 am. - 4 pm., open until 7 pm on Thursdays and closed on Sundays. For more information please contact the museum at 509-335-1910 or visit our website at http://museum.wsu.edu.

Complementary Events Include:
Pre-Film Discussion: Finding Vivian Maier, 2/12, 6 pm, MOA Gallery with Art Historian Marianne Kinkel
Film Screening: Finding Vivian Maier, 2/12, 7 pm, CUB Auditorium
Student Exhibition: Hidden in Public View; Exploring Urban Photography and Social Realism, 1/12-4/3, Gallery

Darkroom to Digital: An Oregon Art Beat Special

Oregon has a remarkable relationship with photography: it is a history filled with documenting the grandeur of the west, staging some of the earliest exhibitions in the country of photographs as works of art, and pushing the boundaries of what a photograph can be.
