We discussed Brad's love of photography and how Chico and Montana have become a second home for him.

Have you ever poured your heart into a diary, feeling the catharsis as your pen dances across the page? That's the raw authenticity we've embraced in our latest creative pursuits, and it's what we're unpacking in today's episode. Join us in a reflection on the art of content creation, where we divulge how shifting from structured arguments to heartfelt expression reshaped Matthew's YouTube videos. It's a revelation that not only deepened his work but forged a more profound connection with his audience. Together, we'll explore how this approach, mirroring the Zen philosophy of repetition and refinement, can bring simplicity and consistency to the forefront of your creative process, making every piece of content an honest fragment of your life's diary.Finally, we'll dissect the dynamics of creating a safe, respectful space for actors and crew alike, where clear communication and ego management are paramount. This isn't just about making movies—it's about the synergy of collaboration and the humbling acknowledgment that we're all part of something greater than ourselves. So, whether you're behind the camera or in front of the canvas, this episode is a tribute to the collective spirit of creation and the personal growth that comes with it. - AiShow Notes:Rick Rubin Clip we're referencing - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vNEH4RZwb_gJiro Dreams of Sushi - https://www.magpictures.com/jirodreamsofsushi/Always Sunny in Philadelphia Meme - https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pepe-silviaR1 Rabbit - https://www.rabbit.tech/The video I made about Final Cut Pro - https://bit.ly/3SJc0GGThe Photographic Eye - https://bit.ly/3IabzjuTetragrammaton with Mark Andreessen - https://bit.ly/3OO3d4UThe Century of the Self - https://www.youtube.com/@justadamcurtis9178/videosCamus - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Albert-CamusIn The Soup - https://letterboxd.com/film/in-the-soup/Bradley Cooper & Spike Lee - https://bit.ly/49CvcMYEyes Wide Shut - https://letterboxd.com/film/eyes-wide-shut/Maestro - https://www.netflix.com/title/81171868The Ice Harvest - https://letterboxd.com/film/the-ice-harvest/Alec Soth - https://alecsoth.com If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Slushies, in this episode we consider two poems by C. Fausto Cabrera, both of which speak, in very different ways, to the imagination in building our sense of self. The notion of being seen, a topic of universal relevance to any writer or artist, is explored in the first poem, which ends with the line “stuck in between the covers wondering when you'll be back”, simultaneously exploring themes of incarceration or imprisonment. This discussion leads us to consider the many layers of being seen and Jason takes a moment to appreciate the “sexy time” of having a book tucked in your pocket. The second poem takes us on a related yet palpably different journey and reveals one of the paths our editorial discussions can take us to. Take a listen, you won't be disappointed!   This episode is brought to you by our sponsor Wilbur Records, who kindly introduced us to the artist is A.M.Mills whose song “Spaghetti with Loretta” now opens our show.    At the table: Kathleen Volk Miller, Jason Schneiderman, Samantha Neugebauer, and Dagne Forrest.   C. Fausto Cabrera is a multi-genre artist and writer currently incarcerated since 2003. His work has appeared in: The Colorado Review, The Antioch Review, Puerto del Sol, The American Literary Review, The Water~Stone Review, The Woodward Review, among others. "The Parameters of Our Cage" is his prose collaboration with photographer Alec Soth.             To Be Seen at All , "What makes us so deserving of space  in other people' s minds?"    -Daniel Ruiz     My boss in the kitchen asks me how it felt to be famous after looking up my Washington Post Magazine essay & cover art online. The question left me stuck I didn't feel famous. I hadn't received much mail in years. What does celebrity mean separate from saturation, fame to the incarcerated— but infamy?   I question the value of telling people about accomplishments, about publishing at all— in a place where your spades game gets more respect, & swagger's stuck in the last time you punched a muthafucker in the face, what' s the point? I just felt petty for wanting to be seen at all. Guards are more concerned with how many towels I have than who I become.   I'm being heard— & that should be the focus, right? Is the nobility of a thing in or on purpose? Or the other way around? Cause who ever does anything for nobility— I'm starving to be objectified: stripped  down by the new young blond guard like a Skinamax late nite B-movie, why else do hundreds of burpees if not to play into the bad boy fantasies of anyone watching?   I went away before social media, but had my Lil' cousin Artesia build me a platform to stand upon, thinkin' it'd present me somehow, someway, maybe keep me present— be on someone's mind or wall, admired even for a moment. The Past says they miss me, but since they never reach past the screen it's not the real me, only their memory. It's not about me at all—and neither should the work be.   There is a point to this poem, in its lack of trust. & none of it is an answer. How can I count on anything through a 2-way mirror? I am just a writer, the world through my eyes glows different due to the depths of my damage. When you close this book & move on I'll still be stuck in-between the covers,    wondering                                                when you'll be back.         In the Sun that Seeps from the Dungeons/ Window/ Everything is Bright                  Because God is in an algorithm I hear through the toggle of my shuffle button/ from a playlist I                                                            composed/ I tell myself/ that if I listen, while the TV projects a pretty face to see when I look up                 from what I'm reading of poetry, mechanical pencil, click, click, underlining & taking notes in                    the margins— sipping a mug of French vanilla creamer laden coffee w/thoughts swirling in my                       cinnamon head/ the sheer alchemy of it all should/ naturally combust! What butterfly wings must                          taste like/embers floating/escape the chaos, wondering west to set fires/troublesome/I                             want blood in the cut, I want noise/they made me something vicious. Will I burn out or fade                               away? The man in black speaks for me & reminds me I'm not alone. A rainbow in                                   the dark, I'll take death before dishonor, bet I bomb on them first/ it's just the life of an                                      outlaw.                                          I am an amalgamation of influences, intricate in their darkness, complex in their                                            origins, some speak integrable nostalgic, others spark dumb & rash/& I gave                                               away my youth to sit & listen to all at once/hopeful/ saying something of a future I'                                                II forget/ I longed for/ once /it arrives. I read my poetry book, circle a                                                   word or phrase to slow down, hoping to see something I can lift/ above a drawn                                                    line or jot in the margins that can change the way I see or say.                                                       Words & wonder/ pour into my ears, my eyes catch/ images I pull into my                                                         heart while I swallow the sweetness of an appreciation. In these                                                            moments I am alive. Then God says, through The City of Prague' s                                                           Philharmonic Orchestra that the path isn't interchangeable.  There's no other person I'd rather be.

De tanto en tanto, en las a menudo frías redes te cruzas con personas con las que presientes una conexión que va más allá de compartir intereses e inclinaciones. No puedo decir que me haya sucedido pocas veces, la verdad, soy un afortunado también en ese aspecto. Como consecuencia de ello en ocasiones este espacio se convierte en un pretexto para dedicar un buen rato a conversar con algunos de esos seres, una estrategia como otra cualquiera que responde a la impaciencia por conocerlos al fin en persona. Hoy, en Calle Oscura, Gustavo Alemán. En este episodio hablamos de - La utilidad de las limitaciones. - Parálisis por análisis. - La facilidad (y el peligro) de repetirse. - Imágenes claras de ideas no tan claras. - La responsabilidad de las figuras de autoridad. - Fotografía y memoria. - Errores afortunados. - Lo que nos enamora al principio. - Y cómo nos influye. - Éxitos que no lo son tanto. Y de muchas otras cosas que han ido surgiendo. Quién nos acompaña Gustavo nace en Murcia en 1977 y actualmente, además de colaborar con otros centros educativos, forma parte del profesorado de la escuela EFTI, donde cursó el Master Internacional de Fotografía. Dirigió una galería de arte, fundó el PhotoBook Club Murcia y fue miembro del colectivo Underphoto. Desde 2014, mano a mano con su hermana Ángela, saca adelante las publicaciones de Fuego Books, una editorial que hace énfasis en la difusión de proyectos que parten de la experiencia personal para reflexionar sobre la sociedad contemporánea. En 2013 autopublicó (No) soy de aquí, el primer fotolibro que llamó mi atención mucho antes de saber que mi vida acabaría girando en torno a la fotografía. Y mira, aquí nos tienes a los dos nueve años después… Referencias y enlaces Autores y colectivos - Alec Soth. - Ana Zaragoza. - Carol Caicedo. - David Jiménez. - Eduardo Vargas. - Enrique Vila Matas. - Escuela Mistos. - Joel Sternfeld. - José Manuel Navia. - Juan Rulfo. - La Pija y la Quinqui. - Paco Gómez. - Stephen Shore.

Cuenta que tras viajar por medio mundo fue consciente de que aquello de lo que quería hablar estaba a su lado, en casa. Cree firmemente que el arte es, sobre todo, una forma de conexión, él lo ha explorado con la escritura, los cortometrajes, la música y con la creación de libros bellísimos que, a través de lo cotidiano, exploran temas universales. Pero es que además es el cincuenta por ciento de una editorial y comparte sus conocimientos a través de talleres en un estudio sin pantallas, de donde me traje tres libros firmados… Y esta charla. Hoy, en Calle Oscura, Alex Llovet. En este episodio hablamos de - Influencia como fotógrafos y como seres humanos. - Viajes iniciáticos. - La esencia de todo fotógrafo. - Y recuperar la inocencia del niño. - Autenticidad y originalidad. - La Fotografía como espejo (de miedos y esperanzas). - Sentirse artista. - Crear para comunicar. - Coste de oportunidad. - Fotografiar de manera emocional, editar de forma racional. Y – una vez más – de muchas otras cosas que salieron al paso. Quién nos acompaña Alex nace en Barcelona en 1974 y vive en un bosque muy cerca de la ciudad. Se forma en Humanidades en la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), dirección cinematográfica en la desaparecida Escola de Cinema Independent de Barcelona (ECIB) y fotografía en el Institut d’Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya (IEFC), donde ahora es profesor. Durante 20 años forma parte del grupo musical The Pinker Tones. Actualmente está centrado en el desarrollo de proyectos fotográficos personales que giran en torno a la identidad, el paso del tiempo y la relación del ser humano con la naturaleza. Asimismo, dedica gran parte de su energía a la edición de trabajos propios y ajenos a través de una editorial independiente fundada con un viejo amigo, Ediciones Posibles, y al acompañamiento de alumnos y alumnas a través de talleres, cursos y tutorías. Lleva exponiendo de forma individual y colectiva desde 2012 y su trabajo ha sido reconocido por, entre otros, LENSCULTURE, PHOTOESPAÑA y la Colección Gabriela Cendoya Museo San Telmo.

Se levanta, la mirada clavada en algún punto de la calle, varios metros por detrás del grupo. Se aleja riéndose con esa risa contagiosa y desaparece unos segundos, los suficientes para fotografiar algo que solo ella ha visto. Muchas y muchos la admiráis por su capacidad para ver e inmortalizar la luz como casi nadie, otros, los que tenemos la suerte de conocerla un poco más de cerca, sabemos que esas bellísimas imágenes son solo una faceta más de alguien muy especial. Y es que en El Club no llamamos “jefa” a cualquiera. Hoy, en Calle Oscura, Bego Amaré. En este episodio hablamos de - Fotografía y memoria. - Que en la calle lo encuentras todo. - Saber ver la belleza de la luz. - Encontrar la inspiración. - Retroalimentar nuestro proceso creativo. - Marcarse objetivos. - Construir un proyecto, poco a poco. - Escucharse. - Qué es ser fotógrafo o fotógrafa. - Hacer, sobre todo, hacer. Y de muchas más cosas… Quién nos acompaña Bego nace en Madrid en 1970 y se inicia en la fotografía de forma autodidacta para, entre 2018 y 2021 ampliar sus conocimientos en la Escuela LENS.

My special guest, Magnum's Alec Soth talks about his latest book, 'A Pound of Pictures' and how a camera gifts wonderful access into peoples' lives, Joel Meyerowitz on how he made pictures post 9/11 in NYC, how photography helps mental health, a day in the life of a photographer in Ukraine and mindfulness in life and your picture making. See the SHOW NOTES. Supported by our patrons and MPB.com. 

Alec Soth is so beautifully human and also a brilliant photographer, and one so obviously begets the other. But if you don't take a listen for the insight into his art practice, new body of work, and upcoming photobook , come for the ping pong stories. Alec Soth (b. 1969) is a photographer born and based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He has published over twenty-five books including Sleeping by the Mississippi (2004), NIAGARA (2006), Broken Manual (2010), Songbook (2015), I Know How Furiously Your Heart is Beating (2019), and A Pound of Pictures (2022). Soth has had over fifty solo exhibitions including survey shows organized by Jeu de Paume in Paris (2008), the Walker Art Center in Minnesota (2010) and Media Space in London (2015). Soth has been the recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, including the Guggenheim Fellowship (2013). In 2008, Soth created Little Brown Mushroom, a multi-media enterprise focused on visual storytelling. Soth is represented by Sean Kelly in New York, Weinstein Hammons Gallery in Minneapolis, Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco, Loock Galerie in Berlin, and is a member of Magnum Photos.

Austin Quintana is a photographer living in Brooklyn, making work in the American West. We talk about his project Where the Valley Sings, photographic cliches, portraiture, approaching strangers, Alec Soth, Mark Steinmetz and Robert Adams as usual. We also spoke about the work he's doing for Ryan McGinley, the approach to living in NYC but making work on the other side of the country. Austin is an amazing photographer with a really bright career ahead of him. I love his work and I think people need to pay attention to what he's doing! Don't sleep.

Con él nunca estoy seguro de si es capaz de ver la belleza donde los demás no lo hacemos o si por el contrario tiene el superpoder de convertir en bello todo aquello que fotografía… Tras haber seguido y disfrutado de su trabajo desde que el preciso instante en el que entró en mi radar – hace un puñado de años – me inclino a pensar que es una mezcla perfecta de ambas cosas. Y además, cada vez que veo lo que hace con una cámara en las manos recuerdo que esto de la Fotografía puede ser muy (muy) divertido. Hoy, en Calle Oscura, Raúl Barroso. En este episodio hablamos de - La importancia de la pausa. - Viajar solo. - La creatividad y sus fases. - El peligro de repetir lo que ya hemos hecho. - Tener un lugar propio en el que mostrar nuestro trabajo. - El miedo a profesionalizar lo que amas. - Que en algunos momentos hay que dejar de ver lo que han hecho otros. - Cometer errores nuevos. - Estar presente en el momento. - Que la Fotografía nos salva… Y de mucho más. Quién me acompaña Raúl Barroso nace en 1979 en Madrid, donde vive actualmente tras haber pasado por Londres y Alicante. En lo fotográfico se ha formado en la escuela Lens. Es uno de los fundadores de La Calle Es Nuestra (https://lacalleesnuestra.com/), colectivo del que también forma parte Orietta Gelardin a quien podéis escuchar en el episodio número 11 de Calle Oscura (https://jotabarros.com/dejarse-llevar-con-orietta-gelardin-calle-oscura-episodio-11/). Ha impartido talleres y dado charlas para Fundación telefónica, B The Travel Brand o Sales de Plata y ha colaborado con Yorokobu y Xiaomi. Raúl no se dedica profesionalmente a la fotografía y aún así se las apaña para repartir su tiempo entre un montón de proyectos relacionados con ella, a cada cual más interesante. Encontrad las imágenes y las palabras de Raúl en su cuidadísima web (https://raulbarroso.es/) y en la de la locura bizarro fotográfica Fotocaña (https://fotocaña.es/).

Darren Tesar of FOGSTAND Gallery in St. Paul recommends a visit to the current exhibition by visual artist Charles Matson Lume, which also celebrates light this December. The site-specific, light-based exhibition, “what opens — like a blaze of fire” is at the Catherine G. Murphy Gallery at St. Catherine's University in St. Paul. It runs through Dec. 12, with an artist talk Thursday on campus. Lume uses humble materials such as reflective paper, hologram tape, and even dirt to manipulate and reflect light throughout the two symmetrical rooms of the exhibit. Photo by Charles Matson Lume Art by Charles Matson Lume entitled "what opens — like a blaze of fire." Tesar says that Lume uses poetry as his jumping-off point for creation. In this exhibit, Lume collaborated with Minnesota's second poet laureate Joyce Sutphen of Chaska and Minneapolis-based interdisciplinary artist Galilee Peaches. The show is accompanied by a book created by the three artists, which allows the poems and the exhibition to continue to reverberate after the show closes. Writer Tracy Harris is enthralled by photographer Rebecca Pavlenko's exhibit “One that Got Away.” The show focuses on lost images or photographs that failed to come into being through mechanical failures or that were never taken at all. To create the show, Pavlenko asked more than 30 photographers to describe one image that escaped them. These handwritten texts, written by the artists on photographic paper, become the visual representation of each image that got away. The show includes stories from some of Minnesota's most well-known photographers, such as JoAnn Verburg, Alec Soth, Steve Ozone, and Wing Young Huie. “What I love about this show is that in a world where we are bombarded with visual input, Rebecca gives us a chance to reflect on the relation between words and pictures and what it takes to create a memory,” Harris said. See “One That Got Away” at Traffic Zone Gallery in Minneapolis through Dec. 31, or online. Country and western singer/songwriter Trevor McSpadden of St. Paul is a big fan of Nick Hensley's MN Songwriter Showcase. The long-standing event returned to performances this fall after an 18-month pandemic hiatus, and now it's going strong with performances twice a week: Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. at the Aster Cafe in Minneapolis and Sundays at Plums Neighborhood Grill and Bar in St. Paul, starting at 8:45 p.m. McSpadden says he's impressed by the range of musical styles that assemble, hosted by grace and enthusiasm by Hensley, who also performs. Don't see video? Click here. “It's always a really nice assortment of talented folks from first time singer songwriters to veterans,” says McSpadden, “but everyone is treated with equal levels of enthusiasm. And I've seen the room be silenced because somebody's singing so well. And that may be somebody that has never had a chance to sing in public or somebody that's singing, you know, a song they've been doing for 50 years.” 

In this episode, Sean and I are talking about a photo essay that raised some interesting questions for each of us, such as how do you respond to an artist's newer work when it doesn't hit you the same way their earlier work did? Have they changed or have you? Or is it some of each? And how much should the context of the work matter to how it lands with a viewer? LINKSAlec Soth's Lost in TranslationAt Eternity's Gate CONNECT WITH SEANWebsite: http://seantucker.photographyTwitter: @seantuckInstagram: @seantuckYouTube: Sean Tucker CONNECT WITH JEFFERYWebsite: https://jefferysaddoris.comTwitter: @jefferysaddorisInstagram: @jefferysaddoris SUBSCRIBESubscribe to Jeffery Saddoris: Everything in your favorite podcast app to get every show I release in one feed. MUSICHigh Line by DuffmusiqMusic featured in this episode is licensed from Artlist, which is a terrific music licensing platform for YouTubers and filmmakers.

Episode 75 features New York-based artist Wardell Milan. He works in mixed media, combining elements of photography, drawing, painting, and collage. Milan's practice is conceptually grounded in photography, often using photographs as initial inspiration behind composition of drawings and collages. Referencing artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe, Diane Arbus, Andres Serrano, Alec Soth, and Eugene Richards, Milan appropriates, and in some cases re-appropriates the photographs, and thus the bodies depicted. Milan also uses images and objects to establish allegorical connections between history and contemporary events. Milan's ongoing series “Death, Wine, Revolt,” which combines photography, drawing, painting, collage, and sculpture to explore themes of over-indulgence, destruction, and revolution. While earlier series such as “Parisian Landscapes” looked inward, to personal questions of freedom and desire, Milan made the works on view in response to the turmoil of the global moment. Works by the artist may be found in the collections of The Art Institute of Chicago; Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; Denver Art Museum; Brooklyn Museum, New York; Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College, New York; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Morgan Library & Museum, New York; The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; UBS Art Collection; Daniel & Florence Guerlain Contemporary Art Foundation, Paris; Hall Art Foundation; and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Milan lives and works in New York.

Hey everyone, have a solo episode for you today where I talk about a few of my favourite takeaways from Alec Soth's 'Photographic Storytelling' course that he released last year with Magnum. Some of you may have watched the video I did about this on my YouTube channel, but I wanted to do a podcast episode about it just to expand on things a little bit, and also for those that may have missed it. If you want to check out the video I made about this, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/1s8NJZn-LI0 Hope you all enjoy this one, and as always, shoot me some feedback or suggestions for episodes moving forward.

La Fotografía Callejera es mucho más que los clichés trillados, fotos-anécdota y una determinada estética. Si buscamos – incluso dentro de las plataformas y las redes más populares – es posible encontrar trabajos de esos que nos enseñan a mirar el espacio que transitamos cada día con otros ojos. Hace mucho tiempo que sigo y disfruto de las imágenes de Ernesto pero, aunque nos conocemos en persona, nunca habíamos charla de dónde vienen y cómo ve la calle… Hasta ahora. En este episodio hablamos de Que a veces un fallo es en realidad un desvío para acabar acertando. Cómo “coleccionar objetos” puede llevarnos a series fotográficas. Localizar temas recurrentes mientras trabajamos con nuestro archivo. Pensar en el conjunto y no solo en las fotos sueltas. La importancia de llevar la cámara encima, siempre. Que la herramienta influye en el proceso. La conveniencia de vagar sin rumbo. Cómo el lugar en el que estamos condiciona lo que vemos. Que podemos construir, echar todo abajo y volver a empezar, y que eso nos puede ayudar a evolucionar. La importancia de jugar, experimentar y divertirse. Y por supuesto de muchas cosas más que surgieron durante la charla. Quién me acompaña Ernesto Peña, madrileño y nacido en 1978, tiene una de las galerías más elegantes y bellas que he visto, consecuencia de una capacidad envidiable para construir imágenes engañosamente simples (oirás su risa en el episodio cuando le digo esto), llenas de color, formas… Y espacios. No solo eso, gracias a él también he conocido el trabajo de muchos autores y autoras que han expandido mi idea de la Fotografía, mucho más allá de los supuestos límite de la street photography.

"HISTORY OF MY WORLD" with Nathan John (Part 2/2), We talked about Raf simons, Fashion, George Lucas that changes the culture and Drew's Introduction of Raf simons by Reading a book from Patti Smith, Sonic Youth, and Alec Soth. We also discuss The culture's toxicity and high expectation, the consumption on social media, and ranks of Star Wars.

PLUS Coalition co-founder and CEO Jeff Sedlik filed suit against LA Ink star Kat Von D for infringing his copyright by using his 1989 Miles Davis portrait in a tattoo that she used to promote her businesses. Some have compared the case to Richard Prince and called it fair use. Others have said it resembles the AP's lawsuit against Shepard Fairey for his Obama "HOPE" poster. But the devil is in the details, and Sedlik registered his copyright.Also: a lawyer buys a building and finds a trove of photos in a hidden attic, including a portrait of Susan B. Anthony, the New Yorker reviews Seiichi Furuya's latest book Face to Face, and Alec Soth vlogs about William Eggleston's "Democratic Forest."

¿Tiene la Fotografía analógica, la de toda la vida, sentido en pleno siglo XXI? ¿Por qué complicarse la vida con carretes de solo unas decenas de exposiciones, laboratorio y largas esperas hasta poder ver lo que hemos conseguido? A pesar de sus aparentes limitaciones (que, por cierto, no me parecen necesariamente algo negativo) la Fotografía química tiene mucho que ofrecernos, y precisamente como consecuencia de sus particularidades y de todo aquello que la diferencia de lo digital, puede ayudarnos a mirar y a capturar el mundo que nos rodea de otra manera. En este episodio hablamos de - Todo lo que nos aporta fotografiar en película aunque nos movamos con soltura en el mundo digital. - La posibilidad de empezar por muy poco. - Cómo cambia nuestra forma de vivir el proceso. - Lo sencillo que es montar tu propio laboratorio en casa. - Que fotografiar en analógico no es más caro que lo digital (ni siquiera tanto). - Todas las decisiones que tomamos antes de fotografiar en película. - La enorme cantidad de posibilidades creativas de lo químico. - Cómo dar el paso de forma muy sencilla. - Por qué fotografiar en analógico es sinónimo de control, aunque pueda parecer todo lo contrario. - Y que nos puede hacer mucho mejores fotógraf@s. Y, claro, de muchas otras cosas que han surgido por el camino. Quién me acompaña Chechu, aka Herman Toothtrot es un apasionado de la Fotografía química que se ha montado su propio laboratorio en casa y que ha convertido la difusión de lo analógico en su gran proyecto profesional. Por encima de todo, Chechu defiende otra forma de fotografiar, más pausada y consciente, consecuencia de ralentizar y controlar el proceso en todos sus pasos. Y todo esto con un estilo muy personal y ameno que me enganchó desde la primera vez que me crucé con él en las redes, hasta el punto de tiene gran parte de la culpa de que cada vez me sienta más atraído por la Fotografía como se hacía antes… Y ya os adelanto que este episodio de Calle Oscura no ha hecho que se me pase, precisamente.

Listen in to a conversation between two centerpieces of the Twin Cities art scene,  Alec Soth & Dave King for their new project The PalmsPurchase tickets to the exclusive livestream, commissioned by The Great NorthernTickets: $15 at thegreatnorthernfestival.veeps.comSaturday, January 30, 20218:00 PM  9:00 PMWith support from Weinstein Hammons Gallery*, Dr. Tom von Sternberg and Eve ParkerIn partnership with Street Factory MediaVirtual event, Parkway TheaterThe sound of a slide dropping into a projector's carousel, the smell of a photo album being opened for the first time in decades: there's a physicality to memory that's largely lost in the digital age. First-time collaborators, renowned photographer Alec Soth (“celebrated chronicler of contemporary American life" —The Guardian) and drummer/composer Dave King (“better than anyone at mixing the sensibilities of post-‘60s jazz and indie rock” —The New York Times) explore these sensations in The Palms, an improvisatory rummaging in the attic of memory.   Special thanks to Schubert Club for donating the piano used in this performance. 

Welcome to another special edition of Photography insights. We go back to our theme of how artists and photographers have influenced some of you. For me there is no better time to discuss this, it's a fresh year, we all need distraction so let's listen to someone else. By listening to other people you find new artists to look at and see how it inspired people. This is the first time I had thought about mentioning someone myself, mainly because who wants to listen to me? With not as much experience as most or photography education I wasn't sure about recommending anyone. But there has been one person for some time that is influencing me on this photographic journey. i don't mean just copying people either or just images, i mean a real thought pattern. I've been lucky in life to be surrounded by a few amazing people and Quinn Jacobson just had this awe and effect on me. Anyway I will stop babbling and move on to my guests. So as you all know Pete from Static Age has a fondness for film, music and skateboarding. He runs the static age zine label, shoots a lot of film and takes of the mundane everyday streets (which I love). We naturally talk about a few of the characters that have importance in his life - like Glen E Freidman, Gregory Crewdson and Alec Soth (with a few more mentions too). Whereas Stephen Rendall who loves fashion talks about the hero worship he has for David Bailey. A few others like Sean Tucker and Lyndsay Adler are covered too. Stephen is a lecturer in photography, a fabulous portrait photographer who considers the whole process of shooting, from inception to delivery. There will be links on the websites and to some of the images we discuss too.

In this episode, Alec Soth reads "Of Modern Poetry" by Wallace Stevens. Soth is a photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He has published over twenty-five books and has been called a "living legend" and "one of the most important photographers working today" by the Washington Post. Soth's recent photo book, I Know How Furiously Your Heart is Beating, is a stunning collection of portraits and interiors from around the world. Soth has described the collection as an attempt to "strip the [photographic] medium down to it's primary elements." The collection takes its title from an early poem by the American modernist Wallace Stevens, whose meditations on poetry and aesthetics have helped shape Soth's understanding of his own work."Of Modern Poetry" by Wallace Stevens appears in The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens, published by Vintage. Keep up with Alec Soth on Instagram and at alecsoth.com. His new collaborative book with C. Fausto Cabrera is available here for preorder.

On September 5, 2020, The New York Times published the latest entry in their "The America We Need" Times Opinion series to examine two neighborhoods on Chicago's North Side and South Side and the enormous disparities in wealth and health.The NYT hired an out-of-towner – Magnum Photos' Alec Soth – to cover the sensitive and complex topic of the effects of segregation and racism, only to discover that Chicago photographer Tonika Johnson had done nearly identical work with a significantly greater depth for years.In this episode of Vision Slightly Blurred, Sarah and Allen discuss the controversy and complexities surrounding the NYT's article, plus John Divola criticizes MFA student William Carmargo, and Jeff Mermelstein photographs your texts for #nyc.

A series of 47 images of people and places which evolved from road trips along the Mississippi River. The project brings together Alec’s documentary style and poetic sensibility capturing the spirit of the community he encountered. 16 years on and he is one of the most celebrated image-makers of our time. He went on to publish over twenty-five books including NIAGARA (2006), Broken Manual (2010), Songbook (2015) and I Know How Furiously Your Heart is Beating (2019). He has had over fifty solo exhibitions including survey shows organized by Jeu de Paume in Paris (2008), the Walker Art Center in Minnesota (2010) and Media Space in London (2015). He also created Little Brown Mushroom, a multi-media enterprise focused on visual storytelling. In this conversation, Alec shares his thoughts on his recent body of work I Know How Furiously Your Heart is Beating (2019), and how his approach to these photographs was a dramatic shift away from the narrative based work he is known for. He shares the motivations behind this work, how he worked and how he feels about it now. We discuss character; working with subjects and the complicated power dynamics at play in portraiture. We learn about his experience creating editorial work and how that sits within his wider practice. We talk about experimentation, the influence of language and why hotel rooms are such profound spaces in his creative process. Follow Alec on Instagram @littlebrownmushroom on Instagram and visit alecsoth.com to see his work. Alec is represented by Sean Kelly in New York, Weinstein Hammons Gallery in Minneapolis, Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco, Loock Galerie in Berlin, and is a member of Magnum Photos.

How many times have you heard someone in a museum scoff "I could do that" in the presence of a solid-black canvas or an obtuse conceptual installation? You're not alone, and frankly, curator-turned-YouTube-star Sarah Urist Green understands the disconnect between art enthusiasts and art skeptics. But she wants to fix it by guiding all of us, from truck drivers to art historians, into tapping our own inner wells of creativity using the biggest video platform on the planet. After grad school and a curatorship at the former Indianapolis Museum of Art (renamed Newfields in 2017), Urist Green was well-versed in the ins and outs of the contemporary-art scene. But she eventually began to tire of the insular world built up around the work itself and longed for a way to expand art's audience. When her husband, the novelist John Green, mentioned off-hand that PBS was developing new educational programming, she took the plunge and pitched a show called "The Art Assignment" centered on projects designed by avant-garde artists that everyone, everywhere could complete themselves. Now a weekly digital web series, the YouTube fixture has some 500,000 subscribers, and it has branched out from its core concept to include travel episodes, art-history-themed cooking lessons, and much more. After six years helming the wildly popular series, Green published her first book, You Are an Artist: Assignments to Spark Creation, in late March, just as millions of people around the world were being forced to retreat indoors for weeks on end. The timing was uncanny. Born out of her YouTube series, the book is brimming with projects dreamed up by such critically acclaimed talents as Alec Soth, Michelle Grabner, and the Guerrilla Girls—each one engineered to be feasible from home with the materials available. It's a perfect solution for our long days of sheltering in place.  On this week's episode, Urist Green joins Andrew Goldstein by phone to discuss her unexpected art-world journey, the serendipitous appeal of her new book, and how you—yes, you—can be an artist, too.

Solo-Host Andrew talks about his experience on learning Photography from the peers of Garry Winogrand, Alec Soth, Daniel Arnold and the early beginnings and process of making a photo and How Andrew stumble across learning the books of James Baldwin and the state of xenophobia and racism in today's age.

With four issues of Offline Journal now published since its launch in October 2018, I thought it might interest people to learn the story of each cover image: the where, when, what and why of each photograph described, when possible, by the photographer. In this new ‘Covered’ series - available here on the Newsletter - I’ve asked photographers to put themselves through the torture of recording their cover stories. To kick things off, Listen to Rob Law’s story behind his Offline Journal issue #004 cover in the audio clip at the top of this page.Photography Online - lots of inspiration!I had hoped to get this Newsletter out last weekend but distractions abound - even in lockdown it seems!The ongoing Covid-19 lockdown here in Wales and around the world has stimulated creative ways for many to stay engaged with photography. Many thousands of enthusiasts and professionals alike are finding new and some not-so-new routes to create and share projects indoors and also connect with others to learn more about photography through online talks and group video discussions.It’s interesting to note how some photography institutions and galleries currently closed in the Covid-19 crisis have been compelled to adapt their normal marketing and communication efforts. It will be interesting to see if and how these positive activities - appreciated by the seemingly vast numbers engaging with them - might continue when some form of normality returns. Wales should also embrace this opportunity to share its own talent with the wider photography world going forward.I thought I’d share a few that interested me and had me engaged…Photography from Isolation to Communication - ICPBased in New York, The International Centre of Photography (ICP) ran a series titled ‘Photography from Isolation to Communication’ with David Campany - the respected photography writer and curator.Costing $35 in total, his three sessions - delivered via Zoom (from what appeared to be his kitchen table!) - ran over consecutive evenings 15-17 April with roughly 300 participants watching and posting questions:Session 1. Collaboration in IsolationSession 2. Photobook EditingSession 3. The Photographer-WriterAlthough ended, you can read the outline topics covered by Campany on the event page here.I’m sure we’ll see more of these from ICP: $35 x 300 = $10,500.00 (from a kitchen table) - but well worth it when you have a quality speaker!Keep an eye on their website.Mack LiveSpecialist UK Photobook publisher Mack Books were very quick to react to the lockdown and have been hosting a new ‘Mack Live’ series of videos since late March with photographers and curators discussing photobooks. The recent ‘Alec Soth Bookshelf Tour’ video is a fascinating insight on this Magnum photographer as photobook collector: his diverse taste in photography and how and where it’s published in book form. One of my favourite parts has him showing a strange, run of the mill and mass-produced American cookery book titled ‘White Trash Cooking’ at 25:12 on the video - then revealing pseudo-William Eggleston photography included in the centre pages.You can watch the Alec Soth video and others in the ongoing series at https://mackbooks.co.uk/pages/liveMagnum Quarantine ConversationsCreative thinking is emerging from Magnum Photos in the form of pairing up its member photographers by drawing two names from a hat and having them discuss their work and approach in online video conversations. These are really quite inspiring - particularly when you consider the calibre and experience of the individuals taking part. Two of the series had me rewinding and relistening to parts of the respective discussions: Richard Kalvar & Jérôme Sessini discussing conflict photography, fear, and invulnerability; and Lua Ribeira & Susan Meiselas exploring collaboration, intuition, the importance of rich archives and how photographing revolution helped Susan understand the structures of power.I really hope Magnum continue with this series of random pairings for very unique conversations. You can watch them now at www.magnumphotos.com/theme/quarantine-conversationsDavid HurnOn the subject of Magnum photographers, Wales’ own David Hurn continues to demonstrate a seemingly unbounded enthusiasm for experimentation and making photographs despite his Covid-19 confinement. As the screenshot above (shown here with permission) demonstrates, he has set himself a brief to photograph his cottage as though working for an Estate Agent! Sounds easy but actually very challenging! If you don’t follow his Instagram feed (his only online presence away from the Magnum website) his weekly posts are worth browsing through as they form a visual journal on photography, life and memories.David’s text in the above post also has a complimentary mention for Offline Journal and the new Valleys book by Paul Cabuts coming in the next few weeks - read his Instagram post here.Ffoton LivestreamAlso in Wales, Ffoton has started experimenting with livestreaming these last few weeks with a new series of live conversations with photographers - each lasting approximately 30 minutes with questions from the online audience enabled via live chat. The first two talks were photographers who’ve had their work featured on Offline Journal covers - Matt Eynon on issue #002 and Nick Wynne on issue #003 - and the latest conversation with Rhodri Jones (based in Bologna, Italy) is well worth watching on the Ffoton YouTube channel.Issue #005 of Offline Journal now underwayWith the latest issue of Offline Journal now in the hands of subscribers and many others who have purchased a copy online, work has now started on issue #005 to be published in October. To help realise some very unique articles I’m delighted to welcome Ellie Hopkins as co-editor of issue #005. Many will be aware that Ellie has been a contributing writer in the first four issues and I’m looking forward to having her creative input help mould the next one.Subscription - supporting Offline in uncertain timesIt has been interesting to experience first-hand how the seemingly predictable process of printing and distributing a small printed publication can be knocked sideways through the disruption caused by a public health emergency. Printers can print, but only if their paper and ink suppliers can make deliveries and their own presses be manned. As things turned out, Offline Journal was printed with just over a week’s delay - so no big deal really.The most frustrating but uncontrolable impact on the latest issue is the loss of physical outlets (six of which had been secured for issue #004 and were prepared to take #005) but are currently closed due to social distancing measures. Had they been open as normal, this latest issue might have sold all 150 copies.Modern technology has transformed both photography and publishing. The benefits of digital assets, fast file transfers over broadband and digital printing allow flexibility in types and quantities of materials printed - such as my own self-imposed print run of 150 copies of Offline Journal’s first four issues. I considered this a reasonably low target that might see all copies sold in the six month period between issues and, as a result, the Journal would cover its own production, print and associated costs.Offline Journal would not exist without the enthusiastic support of talented contributors - the photographers and writers who have worked with me on the Journal in these early days and share a desire to develop a publication dedicated to photography in and from Wales. These wonderful people have donated their talents and enthusiasm thus far in exchange for free copies of the Journal or beer (a couple of tough-nuts have haggled for both). Going forward, I’d like to offer contributors a small recompense for inclusion of their images and writing but that can only happen if Offline Journal increases its print run and gains more subscribers, with particular emphasis on the latter.If you have renewed your subscription for the next two issues - I thank you sincerely.If you have been supporting Offline through purchasing single issues up until now, my thanks again and I’d ask you to now consider also receiving the special printed supplements that accompany subscriber issues. I’ve had overwhelmingly positive comments on both the Offline Essays and the Indie exhibition posters that accompanied Ron McCormick’s ‘How Green was my Valley’ and David Hurn’s ‘Ynyshir: 25 Mile Radius’ exhibitions (the limited edition ‘Ynyshir’ poster will accompany issue #005 for subscribers in October).You can support Offline Journal’s future issues in these uncertain times by subscribing via the link below.

I had the pleasure of talking with Gallerist, Friedrich Loock in his beautiful gallery in Berlin, Germany and we discussed a wide range of topics including: Berlin when the wall came down, Disco and Punk in the same night, The art market is a marathon not a sprint, To be successful you need to not give up when things become difficult, and it is always difficult, Struggling artistically is the same no matter how much money an artist has, German support for the arts and artists, Less corporate sponsorship in the arts, Gallery roster of artists is based on the gallerists interests, It took me 4 years to sell my first painting, Sell the story, Artist statements, Artist that are expressive and reflective are often successful, Feedback and dialogues are necessary, Art is a form of communication, Write artists statement collaboratively with a friend, writer, curator, or gallerist., All art sales are 100% chance, the lack of stability in the art world, Life is a dialogue, Alec Soth, Pricing of editions, Tiered pricing, Analog vs digital prints (darkroom vs inkjet), Artists should work with galleries that are at equal levels to them. Do not expect to work with top galleries only, grow with your gallery. http://loock.info   About Friedrich Loock born 1968 in Berlin, Germany. In 1988 Loock founded the gallery Wohnmaschine,the name deriving from Le Corbusier's architectural theory. „I first chose it to describe my personal exhibition concept when I started showing art in my private apartment in East Berlin.“ Over the years Loock developed a broad international program with very different artists all sharing a common interest in the investigation of narrative, fictional and figurative tendencies in contemporary art. Wohnmaschine has participated in a wide range of international art fairs including Art Forum Berlin, art cologne, ARCO, MACO, and the Armory Show.

Photographer Alec Soth recently had a revelation that has been changing how he's thinking about both his work and life See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Publisher and photographer Paul Schiek joins me on the show this week. Schiek is the founder of the photobook publishing outfit TBW Books and over the past ten years he has released titles with many enduring artists including Hiroshi Sugimoto, Alec Soth, Jim Goldberg and Katy Grannan as well as break-out young photographers like Mike Brodie and Christian Patterson. Listen in as we discuss Paul's move out West as a teenager, the origins of TBW and his love of work.

Alec Soth interviewed at The Finnish Museum of Photography on the 24th of August 2016 – opening day of Gathered Leaves exhibition.

My guest this week is Alec Soth. We met up to talk about his early days in Minnesota, how Prince bought his childhood home, studies at Sarah Lawrence and the travels behind bodies of work like Sleeping By the Mississippi, Niagara and Songbook.

Murray Ballard embarked on a degree in furniture and product design before realising that learning about the chemical properties of plastic held little interest for him. At this point he jumped ship and switched to an art foundation course where he duly discovered something much more exciting. He graduated from the University of Brighton in 2007 with a degree in Photography. The following year he was selected for Fresh Faced and Wild Eyed 08 – the annual showcase of work by the ‘most promising recent graduates’ at The Photographers’ Gallery, London. In 2011 the British Journal of Photography recognised him as an ‘emerging photographer of note’, following his debut solo show at Impressions Gallery, Bradford, The Prospect of Immortality, which took as its subject the strange, marginal world of cryonics: the process of storing a dead body by freezing it until science has advanced to such a degree that it is able to bring that person back to life. Immediately after leaving college, Murray got the job of assisting Magnum photographer Mark Power, a role which he stayed in until quite recently. During those past ten years he has taken on his own commissions, worked on his own personal projects and continued his cryonics story - which he had first began while he still studying after coming across a curious news story in The Guardian. Exactly a decade later the book of that project has just been published by GOST books. Murray's photographs have been published in numerous magazines and newspapers including: Esquire, FT Weekend, GEO, GQ, The Guardian, The Independent and Wired. In episode 23, Murray Discusses: Early times doing "bad Jeff Walls"; a turning point - Alec Soth, Sleeping By The Mississippi; early influence: sci-fi movies; learing about "picture making" with Mark Power; the unlikely origins of his cryonics project; the Prospect of Immortality; working with GOST on the book

Audio Canvas: Alec Soth by Aspen Public Radio Past Productions

Es hat Stacey Baker schon immer fasziniert, wie Paare sich kennenlernen. Als sie den Fotografen Alec Soth darum bat, ihr beim Ergründen dieser Frage zu helfen, dieser, landen sie am Valentinstag auf der weltweit größten Speed-Dating-Veranstaltung in Las Vegas sowie in der größten Rentnergemeinde Nevadas. Soth hält dabei die Paare in Porträtfotos fest. Zwischen diesen zwei Extremen entdecken die beiden einen wunderbaren Zusammenhang, nämlich wie aus einem Kennenlernen ein gemeinsames Leben wird. (Dieser Vortrag war Teil der TED2015-Konferenz, die vom Pop- Up-Magazin ausgerichtet wurde: popupmagazine.com oder @popupmag auf Twitter.)

Stacey Baker sempre foi obcecada em como os casais se conhecem. Quando ela pediu ajuda ao fotógrafo Alec Soth para explorar esse tema, eles foram parar no maior evento de namoro relâmpago do mundo, realizado em Las Vegas, no Dia dos Namorados, e depois na maior comunidade de repouso em Nevada. Soth fez retratos de cada casal no local. Entre esses dois extremos, eles desenrolaram uma bela linha de como um casal vai do encontro à criação de uma vida juntos.

Stacey Baker has always been obsessed with how couples meet. When she asked photographer Alec Soth to help her explore this topic, they found themselves at the world's largest speed-dating event, held in Las Vegas on Valentine's Day, and at the largest retirement community in Nevada — with Soth taking portraits of pairs in each locale. Between these two extremes, they unwound a beautiful through-line of how a couple goes from meeting to creating a life together. (This talk was part of a TED2015 session curated by Pop-Up Magazine: popupmagazine.com or @popupmag on Twitter.)

Stacey Baker, siempre ha estado obsesionada por el modo en el que se conocen las parejas. Cuando le pidió al fotógrafo Alec Soth que le ayudara a explorar este tema, acabaron en el evento de citas rápidas más grande del mundo, que se celebra en Las Vegas en el Día de San Valentín, y en la comunidad más grande de jubilados, en Nevada... con Soth haciendo fotos a las parejas en los dos lugares. Entre estos dos extremos, han creado una hermosa narrativa a través de la cual se ve una pareja que pasa de tener una cita a hacer una vida juntos. (Esta charla fue parte de una sesión TED2015 encargada por la revista Pop-Up Magazine:. Popupmagazine.com o @popupmag en Twitter.)

Stacey Baker a toujours été obsédée par la manière dont les couples se rencontrent. Elle a demandé au photographe Alec Soth de lui apporter son soutien dans son exploration, et ils se sont retrouvés à la plus grande soirée de speed-dating du monde, à Las Vegas, le jour de la St Valentin, avant de partir à la rencontre de la plus grande communauté de retraités du Nevada. Soth a pris des portraits de couples dans les deux événements. Entre ces deux extrêmes, ils ont découvert un fil rouge magique qui relie les couples entre leur première rencontre et le moment où ils fondent une vie ensemble. Cette présentation fait partie de TED2015. Elle est proposée par Pop-Up Magazine (popupmagazine.com or @popupmag on Twitter.)

Recorded March 28th, 2015 at Stockholm Studios in Bushwick, Brooklyn When your first book receives critical praise from the likes of Ira Glass and Alec Soth, it's probably safe to say you've created something worthy of attention. I met Paul Kwiatkowski when he sent me a pitch for a feature in LPV Magazine. What ended up being published was Kid Tested, Mother Approved which later made it into his book,

Also, where do we draw the line between photo manipulation and photo journalism? Plus, questions from the Google+ group and listener-suggested Alec Soth is our Photographer of the Week.

In order to make photographs that are meaningful, it really helps to know your subject in intimate detail. In this episode, I talk about subject research, and about how knowing your subject can be one of the best paths to good photographs.

This week we interviewed Rick Arnitz in his live/work studio in Oakland, CA. We were treated to a tour of his studio after the interview where we saw recent works he was producing for an upcoming exhibition at Stephen Wirtz Gallery. During the interview he discusses his painting, a recent SJMA acquisition, called "Who Won What When and Where". In addition, we spoke to gallery owner Stephen Wirtz who has represented Arnitz for more than 10 years. During the 8 week run of the exhibition "New Year, New Gifts", the San Jose Museum of Art will offer each week a podcast highlighting one of the artists in the show. The artist in the series are: Hung Liu, Jack Zajac, Rick Arnitz, Ruth Asawa, Richard Misrach, Amy Kaufman, Helen Lundeburg and Manuel Neri. We hope that visitors will download these podcasts and bring their iPods into the museum to experience the works first hand with the audio. However, these are enhanced podcasts and if you own an iPod that displays pictures or if you view the podcast in iTunes, you will be able to view images from the collection and images from the interviews. But you can also just listen to the audio and enjoy the insight that each podcast will provide. If you have any comments or questions please email: podcast@sjmusart.org The music from this podcast, “Clocks”, is by the band Casual Dots and is from their album Casual Dots.
