Fotografía y exposición. Saberes cruzados – Fundación MAPFRE

https://kbr.fundacionmapfre.org/actividades/saberes-cruzados/

Desde su invención, la fotografía ha ido de la mano de la posibilidad de ser expuesta, presentada como objeto de valor artístico autónomo. De forma paralela, ha desempeñado un rol igualmente relevante como recurso expositivo a través de la reproducción de obras y archivos, así como en su vertiente escenográfica.

Los vínculos entre fotografía y exposición son objeto de creciente interés en las últimas cuatro décadas. Articulado a través de un enfoque cruzado entre los saberes historiográficos, teóricos y curatoriales, el ciclo se propone ahondar en la compleja imbricación que se ha desarrollado entre la fotografía, sus historias y sus teorías, con relación al ámbito expositivo, así como a las incógnitas que se abren en el futuro próximo respecto de su reconfiguración como espacio esencial de encuentro colectivo.

El ciclo se desarrollará íntegramente online todos los martes de marzo y abril. Bajo la dirección de Marta Dahó, contará con la participación de: Olivier Lugon, Anne Wilkes Tucker, Jordana Mendelson, Jorge Ribalta, Florian Ebner, Laura González Flores, Nicoletta Leonardi y Elvira Dyangani Ose.

The Developing Room’s Fourth Annual Graduate Student Colloquium on the History and Theory of Photography (Virtual Event on Zoom)

Friday, April 2, 2021, online via Zoom
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (New Brunswick, NJ)

The Developing Room, a working group at the Center for Cultural Analysis at Rutgers University, announces its fourth annual graduate student colloquium, which will be held virtually through Zoom. This event is for Ph.D. students from any field of study who are working on dissertation topics in which photography—its histories and theories—plays a central role. Students selected to present will have the opportunity to share their work with their peers and an official respondent who is a leader in the field. Students may be at any stage of dissertation research, but ideally presentations will consist of a dissertation chapter or a section, along with an account of how that chapter/section fits within the larger project. The format involves a formal 25-minute presentation followed by 30 minutes of discussion, with a general discussion at the end led by the respondent. The event is free and open to the public, and the Developing Room invites a large audience in order to ensure a rich conversation and to build a constituency from which papers can be drawn in subsequent years. In the past, this event brought together an international group of researchers working across a wide range of topics related to photography.

This year’s respondent will be Drew Sawyer, an art historian and a curator who holds the title of the Phillip Leonian and Edith Rosenbaum Leonian Curator at the Brooklyn Museum. He has previously held curatorial positions at the Columbus Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Chazen Museum of Art. He received a 2020 Award for Excellence from the Association of Art Museum Curators. His recent exhibitions include John Edmonds: A Sidelong Glance (2020); Art after Stonewall, 1969-1989 (2019); Liz Johnson Artur: Dusha (2019); Garry Winogrand: Color (2019); I Too Sing America: The Harlem Renaissance at 100 (2018); Isaac Julien: Looking for Langston (2018); and Family Pictures (2018). Sawyer holds an M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. in Art History and Archaeology from Columbia University.

More information about the Developing Room can be found at http://developingroom.com/.

To apply, please send the following materials to developingroom@gmail.com before the end of the day on January 15, 2021, with the subject line “Fourth Annual Graduate Student Colloquium Application”:

– A presentation title with an abstract of 250 words or less

What are conceptions of photography that have existed outside the dominant paradigms of the West? A range of historians, curators and a photographer will address the query in an afternoon discussion. The participants have all pioneered new inquiries into photography’s identity in major cultural centers such as India, Turkey, South Africa, and the Middle-East, and within constituencies of the West who forged uses and understandings of photography that have only recently begun to receive critical attention, such as immigrant family photos in Canada. The format will consist of a short 10 minute presentation by each participant to introduce the primary problems and questions posed by a given body of photographs, and then a roundtable discussion among us all.

The event is free and open to the public, and part of the CCA’s seminar “What is Photography?” Please RSVP at admin@cca.rutgers.edu

Seminario online: Early Optics in Photography (Eastman Museum, 13 ottobre 2020)

Different lenses

Before there was photography, there was the study of light and lenses. In this presentation, Process Historian Mark Osterman will demonstrate how light can be manipulated and used for photography and share the basics of optics that were foundational in the invention of photography: from classifying simple lenses to using a camera obscura for gazing, drawing, or photographic experiments.

Seminario online: Tuesday, October 13, 2020, 1 p.m. (UTC/GMT -5 hours (Eastern Standard Time)

Storia della fotografia – Aggiornamento

A partire da oggi tutte le comunicazioni relative al corso di Storia della fotografia sono trasferite sulle piattaforme di e-learning di Roma Tre, ovvero Moodle e Teams:

Moodle – Storia della fotografia
https://studiumanistici.el.uniroma3.it/course/view.php?id=76

Moodle – Storia della fotografia 2
https://studiumanistici.el.uniroma3.it/course/view.php?id=77

Teams
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3a1a99a78ed6a84b7195939ca313400379%40thread.tacv2/conversations?groupId=ed14ad1e-ec3a-4bd8-8692-d4d9fefdb66b&tenantId=ffb4df68-f464-458c-a546-00fb3af66f6a

Attraverso Moodle riceverete aggiornamenti e informazioni importanti: a questo punto dovreste essere tutti iscritti (anche se temporaneamente in modalità “ospite”), ma dovete tenere controllata la vostra email di ateneo.

Su Teams, a partire da martedì 17 marzo alle ore 11, riprenderanno le lezioni in trasmissione live. Vi aggiornerò via Moodle per una prova di trasmissione che avverrà oggi o domani. Ho già trasferito i vostri indirizzi anche su questa piattaforma; in caso contrario credo che possiate iscrivervi anche da soli, ma in ogni caso vi consiglio di mandarmi una email di verifica.

A presto dunque, buona giornata a tutti.

 

Storia della fotografia – Didattica a distanza

Gentili Studenti,

stiamo approntando gli strumenti informativi per poter gestire forme di didattica a distanza che a quanto pare saranno indispensabili per concludere con profitto il semestre accademico.

Le piattaforme predisposte dall’Ateneo sono Teams e Moodle. Riceverete via email indicazioni più specifiche appena avrò terminato il censimento di coloro che sono interessati a seguire il corso e a ricevere i materiali didattici a cui sto lavorando.

A questo fine, chiedo a tutti coloro che NON abbiano già scelto il corso tramite la piattaforma di e-learning e che NON abbiano mai risposto alla mia email precedente, di iscriversi al più presto attraverso questa pagina:

https://studiumanistici.el.uniroma3.it/

La pagina per il primo modulo di Storia della fotografia dovrebbe essere la seguente:

https://studiumanistici.el.uniroma3.it/user/index.php?id=76

Specifico qui di seguito i nomi di coloro che erano presenti in aula per il primo test, ma dei quali non ho alcun recapito e che dunque al momento non possono ricevere i materiali didattici tramite e-learning:

Biancalana
Cristofari
D’Atri
Ligorio
Mersan
Pasquarelli
Pernieri
Sinisgalli
Studente non identificato (testo consegnato senza indicazione del nome)

 

Storia della fotografia – Sospensione delle lezioni e attività alternative, 2

Gentili studenti,

dopo l’emanazione dei nuovi dispositivi governativi nella giornata di ieri, la necessità di definire forme di didattica a distanza si fa ogni ora più pressante. L’Ateneo non ha ancora fornito indicazioni e strumenti condivisi per far fronte a questa emergenza. Tuttavia con i colleghi dell’area di Beni culturali abbiamo avviato una discussione affinché sia garantita la prosecuzione del semestre accademico.

Come anticipato, per quanto riguarda il corso di Storia della fotografia nuovi materiali saranno messi a disposizione su questa piattaforma. Per redigere una mailing list degli studenti frequentanti e non frequentanti interessati a proseguire il lavoro avviato in aula, chiedo a tutti di inviare un’email al mio indirizzo (afrongia@uniroma3.it) che riporti semplicemente nel soggetto la dicitura “Storia della fotografia 2019/2020 – Iscrizione” (si prega di copiare e incollare).

Chiedo cortesemente a chi legga questo post di inoltrare il messaggio a colleghi che non fossero già iscritti al blog.

A tutti buona domenica e a presto.
