We would create a culminating exhibition, book, website, or multi media presentation that can be used to create positive change.

This is an exciting opportunity to connect with a non profit that has a powerful history for making a positive difference. Please see the brief course description to follow.

ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION: This studio course will explore the history and methodology of socially concerned photography, while actively practicing with a focus on a specific topic: hunger and food insecurity in the region of Philadelphia. The NonProfit organization of Philabundance will work with us to sensitively approach communities and individuals using both research and visual narrative techniques as they relate to Photography. The Community Arts program will lend their experience and offer support.The goal will be to create significant socially conceptual work with strong technique, culminating in both digital and physical exhibitions. Studio course for Tyler students of all levels of photographic experience. Digital camera with manual adjustments required.  Open to undergrads (majors and non-majors) and grads.

 

BOOK LAUNCH & PANEL DISCUSSION | Marie Tomanova: Young American

BOOK LAUNCH & PANEL DISCUSSION
Marie Tomanova: Young American

Tuesday, May 21. 2019

6:00pm Panel Discussion

6:45pm Book Signing

The Print Center is pleased to host the Philadelphia launch for an exciting new book, Marie Tomanova: Young American, which has already received international attention. Tomanova will be joined in conversation by the book’s author Thomas Beachdel and Ksenia Nouril, our Jensen Bryan Curator. They will discuss the impetus for and execution of the project, as well as reflect on its meaning in our current political climate.

“Marie Tomanova’s debut monograph Young American celebrates an idea of an ‘America’ still rife with dreams and possibilities, hope and freedom. As a Czech immigrant struggling in a new environment to belong, to come to terms with her repressive past and her uncertain future, the portraits taken between 2015 and 2018 in New York City visualize an America in which individuality is valued as uniqueness and not judged as a lack of sameness.”

– Thomas Beachdel, Art Historian, City University of New York, Hostos

Marie Tomanova (b. 1984, Czechoslovakia) received a BFA from Masaryk University, 2007 and an MFA from University of Technology, Czech Republic, 2010. She immigrated to the U.S. in 2011. Her work addresses displacement, identity, inclusivity, gender and sexuality through photography and video. She has exhibited at A.I.R. Gallery, Czech Center New York, Museum of Sex, Untitled Space, all New York; Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, Santa Ana, CA; Ars Gallery, Prague; and Museum of Modern Art, Tbilisi, Georgia. Her work has been featured in publications, including Artforum, Calvert Journal, Dazed, Der Spiegel, Forbes, i-D, Interview, Paper, Purple, Sleek, VICE and W Magazine.

Marie Tomanova: Young American, 2019, introduction by Ryan McGinley with an essay by Thomas Beachdel. The 10 ½” x 9″, 144 page, softcover volume is published in an edition of 350 by Paradigm. The book will be available for purchase for $40.

American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) - Student Portfolio Review

ASMPNY’s free Student Portfolio Review (details here) is a great opportunity to get a constructive evaluation of your work from industry leaders at magazines, galleries, photo agencies, and corporations.

How it works:

• Doors open at 12:45 pm
• Participants will have 10 minutes with each reviewer

Dear Byron,

I have darkroom equipment but no "dark" and want to move it to hands that will use it. I have 3 enlargers, trays, lights and lots more.

Would you have a student message board on which to post an ad with my contact? Thank you.
I am 20 minutes from Temple and will deliver if needed.
Thank you!
