The Monthly Review and Figures in PhotographyFree for Members!
On December 13 from 7-8:30pm Figures in Photography will meet at Sendero Studio for its third meeting.
We will be discussing the portfolios of Guy Bourdin and Oliverio Toscani. This event is held at Sendero Studio located 2401 East 6th Street #2022 in East Austin. These are BYOB events. A cup of coffee or other delicious snacks from Hot Mamas Cafe next door are welcome.
Space is limited so please RSVP by emailing Jon Shapley at jshapley@visitacp.org. Events are open to all ACP and Sendero members - join today!
This new monthly program is aimed at creating dialogues around theory, criticism and contemporary issues in photographic practice. We will explore a variety of genres within the photographic world and bring them together in a contemporary dialogue. From street photography to fashion photography, from editorial to photo-journalism, from historic figures to contemporary artists, each month we will introduce and discuss the work of two photographers that span the spectrum. There is no required reading for this meeting, although a quick internet or library search will produce an abundance of interviews, articles and videos.

May 2012
May 24th, 7pm - Leica and ACP Present An Evening with Joel-Peter Witkin
The Icons of Photography No.14 lecture series brings Joel-Peter Witkin to Austin held in the Blanton Museum of Art Auditorium on the UT campus.
Joel-Peter Witkin is a photographer whose images of the human condition are undeniably powerful. For more than twenty years he has pursued his interest in spirituality and how it impacts the physical world in which we exist.
Finding beauty within the grotesque, Witkin pursues this complex issue through people most often cast aside by society -- human spectacles including hermaphrodites, dwarfs, amputees, carcases, people with odd physical capabilities, fetishists and "any living myth... anyone bearing the wounds of Christ."
Sure to be a fascinating lecture!
