In honor of Le Tour, I want to put together a post of amazing cycling images. If you have any (your own or somebody else’s), please send them (or a link to them) to me at aphotostudent@yahoo.com

The photos don’t have to be of professional cycling, just something to do with bicycles.

How much film am I giving away? about 180 rolls of color 120 film!!!!

How do you get your hands on it?

I’m going away for a little while (not to prison, just a little vacation).

Over the next two weeks while I’m away there will be five photo ID posts here at A Photo Student, each containing 10 images.

All you have to do is wait until after the fifth post and shoot me an email at: aphotostudent@yahoo.com with the names of the 50 artists who made the images.

Easy, right?!

Again, five posts will go up while I’m away. each post will have 10 photos. Send me a single email with as many of the 50 artists’ names as you can figure out.

I’ll go through everyone’s answers when I get back to town at the end of the month and the film goes to the first person who emailed me the most correct answers by midnight eastern standard time on Sunday, June 27th, 2010.

African Lens is a new website worth checking out. Recently posted is a piece about visual storytelling in Africa:

The visual story that needs to be told about ‘Africa’ is not a single story. It is a series of stories assembled to end the idea of a singular ‘Africa’. We need accounts of complexity, contrasts, and diversity that are drawn from the everyday as much as the exceptional. We need reports that are aware of their own construction and understand how they either affirm or challenge stereotypes.

The class of 2010 from the MFA program I am in at SVA are having their thesis exhibition opening on Tuesday June 15th at 6pm in NYC. After spending the past year in school with these artists and having the privilege of seeing what they’ve been working on, I can honestly say I think it is a show well worth checking out.

Our awkward program name – photography, video, and related media – is becoming ever more apt. This year, the thesis show includes photographic prints, videos, multi-media installations, sculpture and oil paintings. With the swift advance of digital technology, students are using still or moving images merely as points of departure to invent a wide array of forms. Željka Blaskic, for example, produces a five-channel video installation inspired by her childhood in war-torn Croatia. Jan Ebeling (aka Janosch Parker) commissions oil paintings based on photographs of his witty performances. Irene Bermudez combines projected images, freestanding sculpture and a neon sign to create an immersive environment meant to evoke bodily sensations. Allyson Ross creates sculptural reliefs devoid of color based on iconic nineteenth-century photographs of Yosemite National Park. And John Messinger installs a small historical exhibit based on the life of a homeless man. These results and others are exciting to behold and, I confess, daunting for a curator trying to make visual or conceptual order from it all.

If there is an overall trend, it is the trust that students place in personal experience. Robert Gill, for example, embraces the obsession with fitness in our culture. Selena Salfen explores the crushing effects of post-traumatic stress disorder through the history of her own family. Tamar Latzman investigates themes from Jewish-European history by inventing memories of dreams and performing them for the camera. And Laura Oberg explores race in America by interviewing members of her mixed-race family. It may be that the confessional turn of our culture – much enhanced by social networking media – explains the willingness of students to reveal themselves in their work. But the students are not self-centered; they look inward in order to look outward. Growing up with the caveats of identity politics and challenges to the objectivity of representation, our students no longer feel at home with the relatively simple norms of documentary or straight photography. Instead, each student invents a new strategy for using images to make art.
