Daniel Shea ‘07 was awarded the twelfth Foam Paul Huf Award for his work in which he presents a seductive and disconcerting world of concrete, steel and glass, which traverses the boundaries of fact and fiction. His cityscapes are poetic and timeless, yet they address the very real effects of capitalism on the urban landscape – and society at large. The title of his latest project 43-35 10th Street refers to his studio address in Long Island City: a residential neighbourhood in New York City that is rapidly gentrifying. However, Shea’s construction wastelands could have been (and in fact were) photographed anywhere in the world. Layering photographs from different times and places, the series transcends the local scale and addresses developments that affect cities globally. |
| Corinne May Botz ’99 presented a solo show, Milk Factory at Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York and the National YoungArts Foundation. Lactation rooms are everyday spaces that embody deeply felt subjective experiences of motherhood. Symbolically and materially, expressed milk is a substitute for the mother’s physical presence and emotional intimacy when separated from her child. Botz’s photographs of lactation rooms offer insight into women’s personal experiences, the maternal body’s status in the workplace, and the ideological contradictions inherent in modern parenthood and government policies. Her work was also included in “Half the Picture: A Feminist Look at the Collection” at the Brooklyn Museum. | Adam Golfer ’07 is included in the exhibition “Traversing the Past” at the Museum of Contemporary Photography Chicago. The exhibition presents the work of three artists, all of whom trace their family stories to histories of political turmoil, violence, and displacement. In using personal experiences as starting points, the artists transform the autobiographical into a multivalent lens through which to view complex political narratives. She gave a keynote address “Neutrality is Polite Oppression: How critical librarianship and pedagogy principles counter neutral narratives and benefit the profession” at the Critical Librarianship and Pedagogy Symposium (CLAPS) in Tucson, AZ. |
