A weekend with Henry Horenstein: April 23rd to the 26th

Opening and Book Signing: Henry Horenstein

Honky Tonk: Portraits of Country Music 
Thursday April 23
6:30-9pm


Honky Tonk is a collection of photographs taken between 1968 and 2010 that document the changing world of country music and its fans. Shot in bars, music ranches and famous venues like Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, Horenstein not only shows us the performers on stage, but also the dedication and love the fans have for the performers and the music. Of the Project Horenstein says, “all along, in my historian's mind, I always saw this as a disappearing world that I wanted to preserve on film.” As such, Horenstein began this project at a time when he saw the world of country music changing, and wanted to capture it as it was before it turned into the big-business that it is today. “I expect that everyone will remember mega stars like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash, but I wonder: Will they remember Kitty Wells, Ernest Tubb, or, for that matter, Hillbilly Tex? These pictures were made in hopes that they will,” says Horenstein

The work will be on display from April 23 through May 31, 2015, with an opening on April 23rd.

Exploring Frenchmen Street with Henry Horenstein

April 25 and 26
Presentation of work: April 27

Join Henry Horenstein for a two day workshop exploring Frenchmen street during Jazzfest weekend. The main purpose of the workshop is to get students think about how their work connects and how to develop their own unique vision. Henry will talk about working on projects, working for purpose (books, exhibition, etc.), and making a career in photography. Of course anything else students want to discuss, whether philosophical, creative, professional or technical is on the table as well.

The timetable is as follows:
On Saturday April 25 you will meet at the NOPA Gallery from 2 - 5pm where Henry will give a brief overview of his work and approach. There will also be an informal portfolio review and viewing of participants' work. Participants will then meet on Frenchmen (location TBD) at 6pm and from 6:30 to 9:30 Henry will be available to help guide with the shooting.

Back at NOPA on Sunday April 26 from 2 to 6pm, Henry will meet with class to view work, critique and discuss Saturday’s shoot. Naturally, we will also discuss issues of sequencing, publishing and promoting work in the 21st century.

Lastly, on Monday April 27th, participants will give a public presentation at the NOPA gallery showcasing their work from Frenchmen.

$200.00

EXHIBITION: Debbie Fleming Caffery, Southern Work


Octavia Art Gallery | New Orleans

Southern Work


April 11 - May 23, 2015
Please join us for the opening reception with the artist
April 116 - 8 pm

Debbie Fleming Caffery, Church Steeple and Cornfield, 2011, Gelatin silver print, 14 x 21 inches



Octavia Art Gallery is pleased to present our first solo exhibition with Louisiana-based artist Debbie Fleming Caffery. Southern Work will bring together two distinct series that have been pivotal subjects for Caffery throughout her career as well as a recent project inspired by her grandchildren.

Growing up in Louisiana, Caffery was exposed to the distinct and strongly rooted Cajun and African-American communities of the region, absorbing these cultures into her heart and imagination. It is through this lens that the artist was drawn to documenting the seasonal sugar cane harvest. Caffery has been exploring this subject matter since the 1970s and for this exhibition she has printed never-before-seen images from that time period along with images from more recent shoots. While the process of sugar cane harvesting is intense, dangerous and industrial, Caffery achieves a balance of strength and tenderness, darkness and light through her expert employment of shadow, contrast and mysterious composition. The results are a “visual articulation of an emotional and sensual response to stories heard and the smells and sounds in the environment.”

Caffery has been featured in many solo exhibitions at institutions and galleries such as the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, Washington, D.C.; the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland; and the Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego. Her work has also been included in many group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Caffery is the recipient of numerous awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2005, a Katrina Media Fellowship, Open Society Institute, George Soros Foundation in 2006, and the first Lou Stoumen Mid Career Grant from the Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego in 1996. Her work is included in several prominent collections such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, Washington, D.C.; and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, to name a few.

Jazz Fest Volunteer Photographer Program 2015

The Volunteer Photographer Program is a community outreach project of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation’s Archive. The mission of the program is to provide documentation of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell for the Foundation Archive. This documentation goes beyond the stages and music to include the “internal culture” of Jazz Fest- the food, art, culture and people who attend the festival. These other aspects are crucial in making Jazz Fest an annual success.
The program joins photographers, from a variety of backgrounds, with the Festival and Archive to provide the unique experience of photographing the world renowned New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Volunteer Photographers must be at least 18 years of age. 
Festival Dates: April 24-26 and April 30, May 1-3, 2015

Applicant categories:

-Student
-Amateur
-Professional

Position Description & Requirements

  • Volunteer Photographers must be able to manage and edit hundreds or even thousands of digital images and understand that the work of photographing the Jazz Fest is physically demanding.
  • Photographers often walk many miles a day around the Fair Grounds Race Course and are responsible for their own photography gear. 
  • There can often be a variety of weather conditions - rain (lots of mud) or shine (lots of dust) and in potentially *very* hot weather.

Selected volunteer photographers are responsible for providing the Archive with the images taken at the festival. Without all submissions there will be an historical gap in the documentation of the 2015 festival. Any photographer who does not submit their images will not be in good standing with the Foundation. 

Juried Process
A three-person jury of photographers will select photographers based on the following criteria:
Artistic Merit (60%)
Experience photographing live cultural events and/or professional reliability (40%)

How to Apply
Set up a profile at http://www.callforentry.org
The application can be found in the Call For Entry listings under “New Orleans Jazz Fest Volunteer Photographers” beginning Monday, November 3, 2014 and the deadline to apply is Sunday, November 30, 2014.

The Posse: Time, Place, and Eternity: Flannery O’Connor and the Craft of Photography

A huge thanks to Aline Smithson and Lenscratch for this wonderful (and thorough) article on this exhibition at Slow exposures.

just a tease...
One of the highlights of the SlowExposures Festival was the Posse’s exhibition, Time, Place, and Eternity: Flannery O’Connor and the Craft of Photography. The exhibition was constructed in Christine Curry’s horse barn as part of the Friday night soiree held at her home to celebrate the ShowExposures Festival. We arrived just as the sun was setting and in the distance was a stately home surrounded by big trees filled with strings of light. After picking up a cocktail, we made our way to the horse barn where the remarkable collective, The Posse, consisting of some of the most innovative and creative Southern photographers: Anne Berry, Ann George, Bryce Lankard, Lori Vrba, and S. Gayle Stevens, had crafted one of the most interesting and innovative exhibitions I’ve seen in a long while.

SCREENING: Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photography and the Emergence of A People


The New Orleans Photo Alliance is  sponsoring a screening of Thomas Allen Harris's: Through the Lens Darkly, which explores the history of black photography and representation, and how contemporary artists use this material as inspiration in their visual storytelling. 

The film assembles a community of photographers and artists—including Carrie Mae Weems, Lorna Simpson, and Glenn Ligon, to name a few—who together shake up the familiar foundations of the images that have shaped the popular culture’s view of what “blackness” is and who “black people” are. The film was inspired by photo-historian Deborah Willis’ ground-breaking publication, Reflections in Black: A History of Black Photographers 1840 to the Present.

Director Thomas Allen Harris will be on hand for a brief Q&A after the screening.

Saturday, October 18, 2014, 5:00 p.m.

This free family-friendly event features live interactions with the audience, where people share their stories and family photographs, on cellphones or as actual photos, projected on a large screen. Participants are encouraged to critically rethink how they read and interpret the welter of images they encounter, while also highlighting the significance of their own family photographs as historical artifacts in the making.

Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their family photographs.
