Fotofest Biennial 2010
I’m heading to Houston for a long weekend to immerse myself in the lots and lots of photography at Fotofest Biennial 2010. I’ll be tweeting and posting photos on my tumblr account during the few days. I’m not doing any reviews but will explore Houston and the photography festival.
If you’re heading there, please feel free to go to the opening party:
Whatever Was Splendid: New American Photographs
8pm-midnight
FotoFest at Vine Street Studios
1113 Vine Street, Houston, Texas
Curated by: Aaron Schuman, photographer, writer, lecturer, curator. Founder and editor of SeeSaw Magazine
Aaron Schuman explores the legacy and continued influence of a “thoroughly modern photographic figure,” Walker Evans. “The striking similarities between Evans’s time and our own have become all too clear,” says Mr. Schuman. “Bearing this in mind, I began to investigate his profound influence on how the United States is still responded to, regarded, recognized and represented within photography today.”
The artists in the exhibition are: Will Steacy, Michael Schmelling, Greg Stimac, Tema Stauffer, Jason Lazarus, Jane Tam, Richard Mosse, Craig Mammano, Todd Hido, Hank Willis Thomas, and RJ Shaughnessy.
