In November 2014, coinciding with Paris Photo, a collaborative Norwegian project opens in Paris showing a solo exhibition with photographer Morten Andenæs, in addition to the launch of Objektiv #10 and an artist talk between Andenæs and Lucas Blalock. Curated by MELK and Fotogalleriet, the exhibition green apples / blue sky is the first presentation of Morten Andenæs’ photographic works in France. The exhibition title corresponds literally to two of the photographs on show; blue sky and green apples. The indexical nature of the title, revealing nothing but what experience subsequently will show, sets the stage for a short circuit. Simultaneously this recurring gesture mirrors photography’s condition as a reiteration or addition to reality that points to something reality is not able to articulate on its own. By explicitly stating that which otherwise might be incited through our desires and fantasies, Andenæs thwarts our capacity to freely project onto the photographs. Nove...

Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas will celebrate creativity and community with a Sunday Soup Supper on November 16th at 3015 at Trinity Groves. "CADD FUNd: Winner Takes All", will be a fun, fast-paced evening of sharing innovative ideas about potential artistic projects. The CADD FUNd will make possible a high-impact idea that needs the support of the Dallas-Fort Worth arts community. The idea for "CADD FUNd: Winner Takes All" was inspired by similar events throughout the United States such as Feast in Brooklyn, Incubate in Chicago and Spread in Santa Fe. Over the past several years, numerous organizations have taken the basic premise of a Sunday soup dinner - collect creative proposals, invite the public to pay, eat, and listen, and then democratically vote for a winner - and adapted it to their own local purposes. This year's CADD FUNd will be awarded to a current or previous M.A. or M.F.A. candidate from an institution within 100 miles of Dallas. Six fin...

  During the last forty years, the photographer Sebastião Salgado has been travelling through the continents, in the footsteps of an ever changing humanity. He has witnessed the major events of our recent history ; international conflicts, starvations and exodus… He is now embarking on the discovery of pristine territories, of the wild fauna and flora, of grandiose landscapes : a huge photographic project which is a tribute to the planet's beauty. Sebastião's Salgado's  life and work are revealed to us by his son, Juliano, who went with him during his last journeys, and by Wim Wenders, a photographer himself.   All about the film

For more than a decade, the United States has been fighting wars so far from the public eye they risk being forgotten, and the struggles and sacrifices of its volunteer soldiers ignored. A Photographer with VII Photo Agency and a writer Ashley Gilbertson has been working to prevent that. His dramatic photographs of the Iraq war for the New York Times and his book Whiskey Tango Foxtrot took readers into the mayhem of Baghdad, Ramadi, Samarra, and Fallujah. But with Bedrooms of the Fallen, Gilbertson reminds us that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have also reached deep into homes far from the noise of battle, down quiet streets and country roads—the homes of family and friends who bear their grief out of view. Bedrooms of the Fallen is a masterpiece of documentary photography, and an unforgettable reckoning with the human cost of war. The book’s wide-format black-and-white images depict the bedrooms of forty fallen soldiers—the equivalent of a single platoon—from the United States...

Letter from Ed Kashi: Dear Supporters, I have just returned from two weeks in Nicaragua continuing my work on the kidney disease (CKDu) epidemic ravaging Central American communities. Working in collaboration with the talented young filmmaker Jessey Dearing who works with my wife, Julie Winokur, at Talking Eyes Media, we returned with a treasure trove of footage, and I couldn't have done it without the support you gave me through IndieVoices. We witnessed numerous funeral processions throughout the town of Chichigalpa, and were given access to document the wake of a 38-year-old worker who had died that morning. For the first time, we were able to gain access to photograph cane workers toiling in the fields and conduct interviews with a representative of the sugar cane company. Combining the new material with the work from my previous two trips, we will now produce a short documentary film (expected to be released this summer), along with two series of still photographs; one s...

Thanks to hunting and the destruction of their natural habitat, there are only an estimated 1,600 giant pandas left in the wild  and many conservationists privately consider them drifting towards extinction.  But now, there is a glimmer of hope as years of research and failure is finally paying off.  Chinese scientists and their international counterparts have cracked the puzzle of successfully breeding pandas in captivity. I accompanied Dr. M. Sanjayan on behalf of  The Nature Conservancy and a camera crew filming a new series, to air in 2015, on wildlife & humans for PBS and National Geographic TV.  We witnessed two-year old captive born, Zhang Xiang – which aptly means hope – as she took her first steps into the wild.  The breeding and releasing of Giant Pandas into the wild is the brain child of Director Zhang Hemin or “Papa Panda” as he is fondly known. In 2005, scientists at China’s Wolong N...
