 PAST CONVERSATIONS SERIES EVENT A New Landscape: Scanner, Game, Charcoal, and the Nude, an artists’ panel presentation at the School of the International Center of Photography Ryan Foerster Kenny Kurwood Friday, June 4th, 7pm The Camera Club of New York will present A New Landscape: Scanner, Game, Charcoal, and the Nude, an artists‘ panel presentation at the School of the International Center of Photography on Friday, June 4th, at 7pm. Panelists will include Allen Baird, Marina Berio, Pradeep Dalal, Omar Gámez, Michael Mazzeo, and Allen Frame, who will moderate the discussion. The panel is part of CCNY‘s Conversations Series and is presented in conjunction with the CCNY exhibition, Anatomy, Persona, and the Moment: 70‘s Experimental Photographs of Luigi Di Sarro, which runs through July 3rd at the Camera Club of New York. Di Sarro was an Italian artist who died in 1979 at the age of 37. His experimental color and black and white photographs are being presented for the first time in New York in an exhibition at CCNY co–curated by Giovanna Pennacchi and Allen Frame and co–sponsored by the Centro Luigi Di Sarro in Rome. The panel presentation, A New Landscape: Scanner, Game, Charcoal, and the Nude presents work by four artists who work conceptually and experimentally with photography. Allen Baird makes black and white landscape photographs from computer war games; Pradeep Dalal uses a moving flatbed scanner to collage data from an architectural past; Marina Berio uses her own landscape and figurative photographs to devise charcoal drawings with a photographic sense of realism; and Omar Gámez situates leaning nude figures in lush Mexican landscapes. In different ways, all four artists push the boundaries of photographic practice into new areas, while maintaining a profound connection with photography‘s traditions. Allen Baird just received his MFA in Photography from Pratt Institute and is a history buff and video game aficionado. Marina Berio is Director of the General Studies Program at ICP and currently has a solo show of her work at Galleria Otto Zoo in Milan. Pradeep Dalal teaches at ICP and Pratt Institute, and his reviews and interviews have been published in Artwurl, the Village Voice, and EGO Magazine. His photographs have been shown recently at Higher Pictures, the Herter Art Gallery at U.MASS in Amherst, and Aljira: A Center for Contemporary Art in Newark. Omar Gámez is Director of a photo school in Mexico City named Academia de Artes Visuales (AAVI) and had a solo show in 2009 at the Sinoloa Art Museum in Mexico. Michael Mazzeo is a gallerist, educator, and artist. He recently organized the exhibition Burning Desire for his Chelsea gallery, which included the work of Marina Berio. Allen Frame teaches at ICP, Pratt Institute, and the School of Visual Arts and had a solo show last fall at Gitterman Gallery. Omar Gámez will also show work from his new book, The Dark Book, and will sign copies. Catalogues from the CCNY exhibition Anatomy, Persona and the Moment: 70‘s Experimental Photographs of Luigi Di Sarro will also be available |
