This week we are looking at the work of artists who submitted projects during our most recent call-for-entries. Today, Mark Kitsawaeng and I discuss Forgotten Space. Phanuphan (Mark) Kitsawaeng is a photographer from Thailand, currently living in Los Ange
Forgotten Space is a set of photographs of children who were photographed around their homes: including the living rooms, playgrounds, and backyards. In showing the environment that is around them, the viewer sees that which the children have seen is ordinary, but of course, is not at all
The fate of a significant portion of the photographic collection of one of the biggest photo news agencies in the world is uncertain. Who owns it today? The judicial administrator? Getty Images France? Locarchives? Visual China Group?

I also shared the growing series of alumni diptychs and many wished they could have gone to high school before cell phones, laptops, and social media. They settled for posing in front of my moldy, taped up Hasselblad. After the valued, yet frustrating experience of being beholden to source images, I found the freedom of shooting without those constraints immensely refreshing. I had to laugh though when most of them said they’d be back in ten years for me to shoot them again. I don’t know if I’ll be around that long, but I’ll try to hang in there until they get out of college or the army.

Virginia’s personal experiences and the contrast between her rural upbringing and city life inspired her project, ‘Presencio & The Rural Kids.’ This project captures how young people interact with the rural areas they inherit from their parents. Virginia’s work has won awards in photography competitions and been featured in photography festivals and exhibitions across Spain. It has also been published in magazines like EXIT and newspapers like El País Semanal.

The NYPD now must implement policies and trainings to avoid the wrongful arrests and harassment of members of the press. NYPD officers are prohibited from arresting, restricting, or interfering with members of the press of merely observing or recording police activity in public places. The NYPD must provide journalists with access “to any location where the public is permitted” and cannot put up tape or establish “frozen zones” for the purpose of preventing the press from viewing or recording events in public spaces.
The Polish photographers decided that their separate work needed to come together and live in a shared space: the Archive of Public Protests (APP). In addition, the work would be shared not only online but also in physical form, as a mass-produced newsprint publication that was going to be handed out at demonstrations: the Strike newspaper was born.

I was thrilled to see Liz Albert’s name on my line-up for the New England Portfolio Reviews as we had previously shared her project, Family Fictions and I am a fan of her work. She shared a new collaborative project with me, Instant Classic, created with
In my latest project, Instant Classic, my collaborator, Shane VanOosterhout, and I have been sleuthing and acquiring anonymous Polaroids circa 1960-2000. Discarded photo albums, shoeboxes packed with forgotten snapshots; images lost beneath decades of clutter. Years ago, our subjects showed up for a Christmas party, a romantic encounter, 10th-grade geometry. Responding to cues from what we perceive in these Polaroids, we add poignant and humorous phrases from our personal journals and recent conversations – inner thoughts we imagine the individuals and their observers may be thinking and feeling.
The latest iteration of “New Photography,” at MOMA, situates contemporary life in the Nigerian capital as a constant but lively negotiation between the violence of history and the demands of the present.

You could argue that what I described in the preceding paragraph is bad enough for it to disqualify the man’s photography. I would certainly agree. But Newton’s photography actually is a lot worse for additional reasons that I’m hoping to make clear in the following.

The photographer Sarah Wilson’s grandfather, Dr. John A. Wilson, was a paleontologist whose work took him to some of the most remote and rugged landscapes of the West Texas desert. About a year before he died, he gifted her with three boxes, filled with the Kodachrome slides he’d made during digs throughout the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, and used during his time as a professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
