There are growing options available for self-publishing a book such as on-demand (blurb, lulu, viovio, iphoto, etc.); small run offset or web printing/publishing firms, binderies. For the competition if photobooks submitted had been hand-made/bound, they had to be available in multiples of at least 25. Entrants could submit up to three different titles that are self-published photography books of any size, format, or style: hard cover, soft cover, case-wraps, landscape, portrait, square, color, black and white. Submissions were judged on the basis of: cover design, strength of the photography, subject matter of the book, page layouts, editing and sequencing and emotional impact of the overall book. All Submissions had to be original works of authorship created by the photographer who submitted the book.

“A photobook relies on the image to form visual sentences,” says Paula Tognarelli, executive director and curator of the Griffin Museum of Photography. “A photobook that is produced well can transport us in time and place just as any book produced with the written word.”

Photography Atelier 27

Posted on

The Atelier Photography 27 and Davis Orton Gallery’s 8th Annual Self-Published Photobook Show will showcase at the Griffin from March 8 – April 1, 2018. The reception will take place on March 8, 2018 from 7:00 – 8:30 PM

The Atelier is a course for intermediate and advanced photographers offered by the Griffin Museum of Photography. You are invited to come view the photographs at the Griffin Museum, 67 Shore Road, Winchester, MA 01890.

Photography Atelier Instructor and Photographer Meg Birnbaum shared, “The Photography Atelier has such a long and rich history, I’m honored to be leading this workshop for emerging photographers with Amy Rindskopf assisting. The talent among the 15 members of this group show is varied and inspiring — from our relationship with architecture, memory, color, light and objects, the landscape, and portraits — the show is very satisfying feast for the eyes and soul.”

The photographers of Photography Atelier 27  include: Bruce Berzin, Teresa Bleser, Donna DeLone, Barbara Dowd, James Collins, Dennis Geller, Laurie Gordon, Tamar Granovsky, Jackie Heitchue, Vicki McKenna, Jeff Mulliken, Amy Rindskopf, Katalina Simon, Janet Smith and Christy Stadelmaier.

Bruce Berzin’s “The Paris I Know” project helped him see how the interrelationship of Paris’ buildings, bridges, people and the river that winds through, makes the city the magnet that it has always been for artists, writers and musicians.

 Teresa Bleser says of “Sea Change” that she captures the varied ways the ocean transforms in response to weather.

Donna DeLone says that “The Ripening” is her metaphoric expression of the aging process for women.

Barbara Dowd photographs close ups of the relics at “Johnson’s Quarry.” The derricks, steel cables, drills, and tools in her photographs were used in excavations begun over 100 years ago.

James Collins’ camera provides an up-close peek at his fellow patio dwellers in “Patio Life.”

In Dennis Geller’s “Projections” light is “a voice, one that called to [him] as [he] walked down the street, or when [he] woke too early and went stumbling around an almost-dark house.”

Laurie Gordon’s “Afterglow” is a photographic metaphor for the fluidity of relationships and the shifting stages of life.”

Tamar Granovsky’s “Siren Song” centers on the desert landscape of California’s Salton Sea—a place where life barely whispers.

Jackie Heitchue’s “Invented Inventory” is a series of self-portraits cataloguing the thoughts, feelings, and attributes she’s uncovered at a crossroads in her life.

Vicki McKenna photographs The Scranton Lace Company in her series “Resilience.” She’s interested in the stories implicit in the remnants of the buildings.

Colors communicate the spirit of the Mexican culture in Jeff Mulliken’s “Puerta Vallarta Colors.”

Amy Rindskopf’s, “Catches My Eye”, features objects from her studio. “I find myself moving closer and closer, seeking to share what draws me in. A wrinkle here, a dent there, I am fascinated by the small details that make each [object] unique.”

Katalina Simon photographs the form and details of machines that were built during the Industrial Revolution and are on display at the Charles River Museum of Innovation in Waltham and at the Waterworks Museum in Chestnut Hill.

Janet Smith photographs a collection of scraps of paper and early morning light in her series “Early Light.”

In “Screen Houses of Plymouth County,” Christy Stadelmaier photographs 100-year-old barns called screen houses that were used to sort cranberries long before today’s automated harvesting technology.

About the class:
Photography Atelier, in its twenty-third year, is a unique portfolio-making course for emerging to advanced photographers. In addition to guidance and support in the creation of a body of work, the class prepares artists to market, exhibit, and present their work to industry professionals.

Each participant in the Atelier presents a final project in the form of a print portfolio, a photographic book or album, a slide show, or a mixed media presentation. In every Atelier, students hang a gallery exhibition and produce work for their own pages on the Atelier website. To see the photography of present and past Atelier students and teachers, please visit www.photographyatelier.org. Instructor Meg Birnbaum will be happy to discuss the Photography Atelier at the reception on March 8th with anyone interested in joining the class.

The Atelier was conceived by Holly Smith Pedlosky in 1996 and taught by Karen Davis for 7 years. The workshop was previously offered at Radcliffe Seminars, Harvard University and Lesley Seminars and in the Seminar Series in the Arts, The Art Institute of Boston (AIB), both at Lesley University.

Vivien Goldman: Tidelines

Posted on

Statement for Tidelines
At the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean and Nauset Inlet at ebb tide on the Outer Cape, the outgoing tide stencils mountain ranges and deserts on the sand, leaving strands of sea weed and small stones scattered in its wake. Just after sunrise or in the gloaming, the sky creates mountains of its own. It is the world transforming itself into other realities, every day, again and again, each day different from the last. It is a continual and endless re-creation of the world at low tide.

I return to this land where the tide washes ashore every day and night, sweeping wide the sand between the marsh and dune. It is a challenge to return again and again to find the familiar landscape utterly remade. I am unable to preserve these ephemeral displays except by taking note and watching. Perspective challenges the eye to make sense of scale and of everyday familiar shapes that have been distorted by the tide.

– Vivien Goldman

Michael Kirchoff: Sanctuary

Posted on

When Michael Kirchoff photographs he “takes a great deal of time trying to see in a less than literal way.” He says, “The techniques and tools with each project or series often change, but the perspective, drama, and passion of the image remain consistent.” He goes on to say that his work “can be recognized by a timeless and ethereal quality where the imperfections of the subject, camera, or technique are often highlighted as an integral part of the image” where he uses wide-angle lenses and low, off kilter angles to present his subjects with depth and dimension. Kirchoff says, “Dramatic skies and dark, textural tones are a trademark in my landscape and architectural work, but can frequently be seen in my street portraits of the unsuspecting in much the same way.”

Kirchoff’s “Sanctuary,” is featured in the Griffin Gallery at the Griffin Museum of Photography from January 11 through March 4, 20187. An opening reception will take place on January 18, 2018 from 7-8:30pm. Holly Roberts will give a gallery walk/talk at 6:00 PM on January 18, 2018 that is free for members and $10 for nonmembers, followed by a reception that is open to all.

Paula Tognarelli, executive director of the Griffin Museum says, “In the trilogy of shows opening in Winchester on January 11, 2018, if there is a common element that links each to the other, it is the ability of the artists to disclose personal psychologies without vulnerability. It is this show of openness that draws us to the artists and their art-making process.”

In his ongoing project begun in 2000, “Sanctuary” is Kirchoff’s search for his own safe place. He asks himself, “If I needed to run in times of trouble or discontent, where would I go? I quickly realized my own fondness for nature and the solitude and strength that Mother Nature provided. This was a very primal pull I was feeling, an instinct of survival, like returning to the days of early human existence. Certainly though, my vague ideas existed more in my dreams than in real life, and Sanctuary for me became a place that is as dark and mysterious as it is bright and hopeful.”

Kirchoff spends a great deal of time in nature. He say of his retreat to the outdoors, “It is an escape; a safe place where one can become intimate with the elements that surround you.” He says of the images of “Sanctuary” that the “images are representative of home, and finding beauty in the often darker and fractured recesses of the mind. Each image is a mysterious place, both real and unreal, captured from the safety of my own imagination. Each has become my own Sanctuary.”

Michael Kirchoff has spent his years capturing the still image of people, cultures, and landscapes from around the world, to around the block, with a very unique and distinctive style. A native Californian, Michael resides in Los Angeles, though equally at home trudging through Redwood forests, riding the rails deep into Siberia, or navigating the chaotic streets of Tokyo.

Michael’s fine art imagery has garnered recognition from the International Photography Awards, the Prix de la Photographie in Paris, Photographers Forum, and Critical Mass. His work has been published in Harper’s, Black & White (U.S.), Black & White (U.K.), Seities, Esquire (Russia), New Statesman, Blur, Adore Noir, Fraction, SHOTS, and Diffusion Annual, as well as high profile photography blogs and sites like Lenscratch and Light Leaked. He also continues to exhibit his prints internationally in both solo and group exhibitions. Michael was also an active Board Member for the L.A. chapter of the American Photographic Artists from 2006-2016, and is an Editor at Blur Magazine.

Michal Greenboim: Orchard Trail

Posted on

In “Orchard Trail” Michal Greenboim creates photographic diptychs. These photographs were taken as individual images over the years, as daily responses to the world around her, as in a visual journal, and later paired. In examining the photographs she realized that she “had subconsciously been photographing [her] childhood.” She says, “The pictures in front of me held deep memories of curiosity, innocence and wonder. They were my remembrances, wandering in the backyard, exploring moments like the sound of a tree [or] a bird in the sky.”

“Orchard Trail,” is featured in the Atelier Gallery at the Griffin Museum of Photography from January 11, 2018 through March 4, 2018. An opening reception (Free to all) will take place on January 18, 2018 from 7-8:30 PM. Holly Roberts will do a gallery walk/talk at 6 PM on January 18, 2018 that is free for members and $10 for nonmembers.

“The photographs of Orchard Trail are in their essence a mode of language,” says Paula Tognarelli, executive director of the Griffin Museum of Photography. “In each diptych there is an exchange by way of harmonic gesture that conveys the intangibles of thought and experience.”

Tognarelli goes on to say, “In the trilogy of shows opening in Winchester on January 11, 2018, if there is a common element that links each to the other, it is the ability of the artists to disclose personal psychologies without vulnerability. It is this show of openness that draws us to the artists and their art-making process.”

Michal Greenboim grew up in a small town in Israel called Pardes Chana that means Hana Orchard. She says of her childhood “the town was full of orange, avocado and mango orchards. I remember neighbors stopping by with mangos and [we] giving our avocados in exchange. Kids would walk by themselves to the next-door-neighbors for story time or a piano lesson. I remember going with my father to pick oranges from our orchard. When I look at my photographs …, I am reminded of who I truly am.”

Greenboim developed an early interest in photography after watching her grandfather, who always had a camera present to capture family moments. Following a career as an interior designer and computer engineer, Michal later moved into photography, publishing her first photography book “Orchard Trail,” a narrative of childhood stories and memories, in 2016.

Michal now lives in La Jolla, California and started her MFA studies in June 2017.

From 2012-2017, Michal has exhibited her work in shows across the United States, including the Art of Photography Show in San Diego and at the Los Angeles Center for Photography in California, Photo Place in Vermont, Tilt Gallery in Arizona and Dickerman Gallery in San-Francisco. Her photograph “Rear Blues” won third place in the “World in Place” competition in the “Sense of Place” category, PDN Magazine, December 2016. In 2017, Greenboim was awarded an exhibition at the Griffin Museum from the Los Angeles Center of Photography.

Holly Roberts: 33 Years

Posted on

 On January 11, 2018, the Griffin Museum opens with “Holly Roberts: 33 Years,” an exhibition of mixed media artwork by Holly Roberts.
“Holly Roberts: 33 Years” will showcase in the Main Gallery of the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA from January 11 – March 4, 2018. An opening reception (Free for all) takes place on Thursday, January 18, 2018, 7 – 8:30 p.m. There will be a gallery walk/talk with the artist at 6 PM on January 18, 2018. The gallery walk/talk is free for members and is $10 for nonmembers.

Holly Roberts says, “I have been experimenting with different ways of making images for the past few years, but always with paint and photography as the driving forces.” Her work has continued to evolve, but she has reversed her original process of heavily overpainting the black and white silver print. She now works on top of a painted surface, developing a narrative scene with collaged photographic elements. Where earlier pieces reflected psychological or emotional undercurrents, newer works make use of familiar or iconic stories to address tougher questions about man’s effect on the land and the animals that inhabit it.

“My photographic imagery is widely varied, all the way from specific portraits of people or animals to photos of rocks, leaves, or even dead moths—material I can use to build textures and surfaces.”  She goes on to say, “I have also begun to work with transfers, something I have taught for years but never really integrated into my own work. I am seduced by the magic of taking something and making it live as something else.  And, most recently, I have gone back to working with oil paints, something I gave up 13 years ago in favor of acrylics.”

“What has resulted is a wide variety of images, still with my own view of the world at their core, says Roberts. “Animals, people, and people as animals are my most constant themes.  Portraits of men and women have become a larger part of what I do.  Horses, dogs, and birds are the animals I use predominantly since those are the animals I feel most connected to.  If I can find any one theme that runs through my work, it would be a subtle kind of loneliness or feeling of separateness, at times mixed with odd humor.”

Paula Tognarelli, executive director of the Griffin Museum says, “In the trilogy of shows opening in Winchester on January 11, 2018, if there is a common element that links each to the other, it is the ability of the artists to disclose personal psychologies without vulnerability. It is this show of openness that draws us to the artists and their art-making process.”

Holly Roberts, born in Boulder, Colorado, earned an M.F.A. from Arizona State University, Tempe, in 1981. Her artworks mixing photography with paint and other media are found in close to forty corporate and public collections, exhibited nationally and internationally, and have been published in three major monographs. She has twice received National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. Holly currently lives and works in Corrales, New Mexico, with her husband, Robert Wilson.

Known for its Native American heritage, New Mexico, surrounded by desert, is a place where indigenous ideology and Western beliefs merge, creating a magical area filled with a sense of history and spirituality — elements essential to Roberts and her work. In 1980, while living on a Zuni reservation in New Mexico, Roberts quietly painted on photographs she had taken of her husband, children, animals and friends. The results of her efforts was startling, as her work was embraced across the country for its innovative style and psychological dramas which confront the anguish, joy, challenges and complexities involved in daily life.

Holly Roberts is represented by Tilt Gallery, Scottsdale, AZ, Craig Krull Gallery, Santa Monica, CA, Morpeth Contemporary, Hopewell, NJ, Turner Carroll Gallery, Santa Fe, NM and Catherine Edelman Gallery, Chicago, IL.

Edward Boches: Seeking Glory

Posted on

Boston-based Edward Boches’ interests as a photographer lie in documenting how people live, work and play. His series “Seeking Glory” celebrates the strength and courage it takes to be a boxer. Boches has spent the past year in city gyms especially in the old mill towns north of Boston.

“Seeking Glory” will be on view at the Griffin at 530 Harrison Avenue in SOWA February 7, 2018 – April 9, 2018. A reception will be held on April 6, 2018 from 6-8pm.

“Fame, success, even self-respect can be elusive goals for many young men and women who grow up in the inner city,” says Boches. He goes on to say that, “the boxing gym promises a way up for some and a way out for others. It offers young boxers a home where they can find support and community. It helps them build character. It inspires the discipline needed to avoid the ever-present lure of gangs or drugs.”

“Seeking Glory” is just the beginning of Boches’ journey photographing boxers. He plans deeper exploration into their courage and strengths that motivate them into the ring as well as photographing an expanded view of their lives.

Edward Boches has exhibited as part of group shows at the Griffin Museum of Photography and at the Providence Center for Photographic Arts. His work has been featured in The Lowell Sun; has appeared in The Boston Globe and online on WBUR.org; and has been distributed internationally by Caters News Agency.
