  • Images of Slaves Are Property of Harvard, Not a Descendant, Judge Rules

    The woman who says the enslaved people are her ancestors plans to appeal the decision “about the patriarch of a family, a subject of bedtime stories.”

    Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/04/us/harvard-slave-photos-renty.html

    The judge acknowledged that the daguerreotypes had been taken under “horrific circumstances” but said that if the enslaved subjects, Renty and Delia, did not own the images when they were taken in 1850, then the woman who brought the lawsuit, Tamara Lanier, did not own them either.

    American photographer Ken Light looks back at his time at the US/Mexico border in the 1980s when The Border Patrol began hunting migrants in the dead of night.

    “At the time, a lot of newspapers in California were writing stories about the ‘Brown Invasion’ because the immigration numbers were incredible. I realized this is one of the great stories of the twentieth century. The massive immigration would change the demographics of America.”

    In 1976 while rummaging through an attic of Harvard’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology in search of old museum publications, editorial assistant Lorna Condon opened a drawer in a wooden cabinet. Inside, she found a number of flat leather cases which contained a series of daguerreotypes of partially and fully nude Black people. Names were handwritten on paper labels identifying 7 individuals: Alfred, Delia, Drama, Fassena, Jack, Jem, and Renty with assumed ethnicities and occupations. The daguerreotypes represented some of the earliest known images of slaves in the U.S.

  • The LA punks throwing ‘Covid-safe’ backyard shows

    Last summer saw a string of raucous outdoor gigs in Los Angeles. Many attendees wore masks and at some of the shows, there were temperature checks before entry – critics say they’re being reckless, but they claim they’re just keeping their scene alive.

    via Huck Magazine: https://www.huckmag.com/art-and-culture/the-la-punks-throwing-covid-safe-backyard-shows/

    “It was really dirty and the kids really showed up for that one. I think that was at the peak of Covid,” says Drew Kelley, a freelance photojournalist who went to the Riverside show to take 35mm photos. Drew was impressed by the effort, passion and Covid-safety that had gone into creating the event.

    Dr. Kobner is an amateur photographer, and when the pandemic struck, he started using his Leica M6 and M10 cameras to record the goings-on in the ER. These photos were published by the Los Angeles Times this week. When one thinks of Leica, historical images of wars, pandemics, and other tragedies come to mind. The coronavirus is indeed the greatest modern-day tragedy that still refuses to go away quietly.

  • How the 1970s Revolutionized the Art of Photography

    A new exhibition at PDNB Gallery explores how photographers working in the 1970s transformed not only the language of photography, but invented new ways of seeing the world.

    Link: https://www.blind-magazine.com/en/news/1235/How-The-1970s-Revolutionized-The-Art-Of-Photography

    Despite its long-standing marginalization, photography underwent a radical shift in the 1970s, catapulting it into the realm of fine art. Under John Szarkowski’s direction, the Museum of Modern Art staged a series of seminal exhibitions and wrote the landmark 1973 book, Looking at Photography, which reframed conventional notions of the relationship between photography and art. Recognizing that photography was not invented to serve a specific purpose, Szarkowski understood that its inherent plasticity of purpose made it the perfect medium for use by artists from all walks of life.

    I had the great pleasure of  meeting Billy Hickey at the ICP Virtual Portfolio Reviews in 2020. During the reviews, he shared a personal project, How We Were, born of events created by the pandemic when he returned home to Massachusetts for an appointment, only to find that he needed to stay put. It’s never easy to return to the familial home once you are officially launched into the world, but eventually he realized that documenting family during this historic time was as important as documenting strangers in other parts of the world. The photographs reveal a family trying to learn how to share space again, this time as adults, with a need to seek solitude and comfort in small things.
