Photo text, text photo: the synthesis of photography …

It is the purpose of this study to provide a foundation for understanding how the artist’s process has been conceived and valued in the Western artistic tradition, beginning with a historical overview and then analyzing the topic more specifically in relation to modern and contemporary art. A primary goal for this book is the careful consolidation and analysis of the material on this topic. There is a long history of critical and theoretical texts addressing the artist’s process, particularly in the modern period, which have not always received the attention they deserve because other issues and concerns have taken precedence. These are not obscure texts by any means. Most of the texts and artists that will be discussed in the pages to follow are well known and have been highly influential. What is not always clear about them is how their explicit engagement with process fits into a broader picture of the purposes of art, particularly in the modern industrial and postindustrial world. Artistic process and its relation to the meaning and purpose of art are a primary consideration for artists. Critical theory in its varied forms provides many valuable ways to examine art, but these often have little or nothing to do with what matters to artists or many of their viewers. It is my intention to provide a concrete outline and analysis of the ways process has become a central concern for contemporary artists and their viewers.

The Importance of Being Photographed is curated by Jane Simon, USFCAM Curator, and organized by the USF Contemporary Art Museum, Tampa.

What Kellie Jones wrote regarding Simpson’s breakthrough work of the 1980s remains true of her most recent: “Simpson managed to push at the boundaries of what could constitute an acceptable black image: she complicated the positive/negative binary that in many ways continued to hold the black body fast. These pictures cut to the heart of the framing narratives used by photography and other visual media to maintain control over such representations. Her texts added specificity to what we saw. However, in using these techniques, she also insisted on leaving meaning open and available to the imagination of the viewer.”

Simpson complicates ideas of making, the “use” of photographs and film as well as found objects of many kinds, and the processes an artist develops for ongoing challenges to herself and for her audiences. This may be seen in works as different as Parts, 1998, where she photographs a natural history museum’s specimen case, prints her image as a serigraph on felt, and comments on the museum-goer’s route and gaze; in Props, 1995, where she abstracts images of vases and bowls from the surround of portrait subjects in photographs by James VanDerZee so as to actually fabricate these objects in three dimension (in black glass) in order to then photograph each in isolation with text passages that restore the original context of people, furnishings, and clothing, creating conceptual portraits via these isolate surrogates; and in her use of found footage for The Institute, 2007 ( 16 mm film transferred to video), also drawing on images from this film to create watercolor works-on-paper.

Enhanced! presents a selection of vintage and contemporary manipulated photographs that span the history of photography. The images selected for the exhibition have been transformed manually and digitally to enhance them in a variety of ways and to fool the eye of the viewer, and to expand and shift our understanding of photography as a medium. Works selected from The Drapkin Collections anchor the exhibition, with classic images dating from the 1850s to the 1960s, including works by Anna Atkins, Harold Edgerton, Alexander Gardner, Gustave Le Gray, Man Ray, Eadweard Muybridge, Jerry Uelsmann, Weegee and many others. Examples of vernacular photography reflect collector Dr. Robert Drapkin’s broad range of interests. Contemporary selections include works by Yoan Capote, James Casebere, Jerome Favre, Adam Fuss, Debbie Grossman, Kalup Linzy, Christian Marclay, Vik Muniz, Yamini Nayar, Roman Signer, and Peter Tscherkassky. Curated by Noel Smith; organized by USF Contemporary Art Museum.

The expansion and centrality of process in contemporary art is greatly indebted to the development of feminism and its enormous influence in the art world. Process as conceived and articulated within the historical context of the modern Western artistic discourse is dominated by the ideas of the male artists, critics, theorists, and philosophers who set its terms. It is not until the latter half of the twentieth century that women become significant shapers of that discourse. Prior to that time, artistic process was conceived and discussed in terms of the “gender-neutral” and presumed universal male artist. Aspiring female artists worked to achieve access to the same training received by their male peers, although this was often not possible for certain aspects of fine arts education, particularly those requiring study of the nude. Despite pervasive institutional separation, ambitious female artists typically conceived their processes as no different from those of their male peers. This was often a requirement for public recognition.

Woke! brings together recent work by William Villalongo and Mark Thomas Gibson, artists and the curators of Black Pulp! The term “woke” is contemporary American vernacular terminology for acute awareness, particularly in reference to the socio-political contexts we inhabit. Woke! presents works made over the past two years, a time when the influence of the hyper-visuality of police violence upon Black bodies and the cultural currents of the Black Lives Matter movement informed new narratives in their practice. Woke! is organized by USF Contemporary Art Museum.

The photographer, (1865-1936) is regarded as one of the most significant figures of the Pictorialist movement at the turn of the century and is mentioned in almost every anthology written on the history of photography. His revolutionary work incorporated a synthesis of painting, etching and photography and was often the subject of heated debates over weather or not a photograph should/could be ‘manipulated’ in order to achieve an artistic effect.
