<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Two years ago during Paris Photo, I was having a chat with Sheyi Bankale, the editor of Next Level magazine. He told me that the magazine was starting to focus on doing city editions, especially cities that have a developing photo/art scene. I suggested that Pittsburgh fit the bill very well. We decided to bring Sheyi to Pittsburgh to check it all out.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial;"><div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Fast forward a year or so later and the Pittsburgh edition of Next Level magazine is on the shelves with the fabulous work of Tomoko Sawada on the cover. I've got to say, I'm thrilled that Sheyi (with a little help from me) was able to make it happen with the involvement of a small army of writers, artists, foundations, and miscellaneous good-hearted folks.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So, Sheyi and I wanted to throw a "Thank You Pittsburgh" party and to invite all of the folks that had a hand in the edition who might be able to be in Pittsburgh on May 16th.

Nora Kennedy & Peter Mustardo are at the very top of their field. Ms. Kennedy is the Sherman Fairchild Conservator of Photographs at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and on the adjunct faculty at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts. Mr. Mustardo is the co-founder with Ms Kennedy of <a href="http://www.thebetterimage.com/"><i>The Better Image</i></a> which is one among the top conservation firms in the world. At any given time, his studio is occupied with masterpieces from major museums and collections.<br />
<br />
<b>The talk will be held at <a href="http://web.cmoa.org/">The Carnegie Museum of Art Theater</a>
on Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 4400 Forbes Avenue. The talk will begin at
7pm. Join us before for refreshments at a cash bar and take a peek at
the "Oh Snap" photography show off the lobby of the museum. . This event
is free and open to the public. Come support our final event and hear
the latest updates about the opening of the PGH Photo Fair just one
short week later! </b><br /><br />While conservation may seem like an arcane, "insider baseball" topic, it's not. To anyone who is interested in making, owning, or showing photography, it is a help to also know how to take care of the work in their possession. <br />
<br />
Photograph Conservators Nora Kennedy and Peter Mustardo will describe their adventures preserving photographic works of art at
The Metropolitan Museum and in private practice at The Better Image,
respectively. Working closely for over thirty years, this professional
couple has actively shaped the coming of age of the nascent field of
photograph conservation and is currently involved in photograph
preservation initiatives internationally. Go “behind the scenes” to
learn about large-scale installations of a diazo collage by Francesca
Woodman and Richard Avedon’s photomurals at the Metropolitan, and the
recovery of works of both high and vernacular photography after
‘Superstorm’ Sandy at The Better Image. Discover the advantages offered
by scientific analysis to unravel secrets of artist’s techniques and
keys to the conservation of our photographic heritage as well as
contemporary photographic art.<br />
<br />
We learned from our last speaker, David Howe, that works from his collection that were damaged by the flooding caused by Hurricane Sandy are now being restored by Mr Mustardo and Ms Kennedy. It's an unfortunate coincidence that illustrated just how personal the field of conservation can be. <br /><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span>

My first encounter with the 10x10 concept was last year during the NY Art Book Fair at PS1 in NYC. Some folks connected with the library at the International Center of Photography (where I still have a supporting role) decided to do a pop up show of Japanese photobooks </span><span><span>at a nearby space</span>. They asked 10 experts in the genre to each nominate 10 Japanese books that they felt were important. The 100 resulting choices were all on display along with supporting text from the nominators describing why they loved these books. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span>It was a huge hit. At the opening, luminaries from the photo and photobook worlds jammed in to see the books. It was such a success that folks from the Tokyo Institute of Photography asked if there could be another iteration in Tokyo. The ICP folks thought it would be funny to show Japanese books in Japan presented by Americans, so the American Photobooks idea was launched. Same concept, but this time 10 American nominators would choose 10 American photobooks each. There will also be a catalog with 10 additional writers (I'm happy to say I can count myself among the 10) and an online/blog presentation with some additional choices. </span></span></span></div>

The "aha" moment for me was David's explanation that he is often attracted to art that he wishes he had made himself. Of all of the the collectors I've heard discuss the idea of why they choose what they choose to buy, I've never heard this longing-filled perspective. I also liked his account of how his collection exists in perfection only in his mind's eye. I think that's an important point. How the collector visualizes his collection as a totality in a mental image is an important concept both about what drives the collector and how a collection exists in the world. David was soft spoken (yes, we will have mics for the next event), but his voice was large in illuminating the psyche of an important collector.<br />
<br />
Next up, we have photo conservationists Nora Kennedy and Peter Mustardo. It cannot be overstated, these two are at the very, very top of their field. Nora is the chief photo conservator at the Met Museum and Peter runs The Better Image which is one of the top 3 or 4 conservation firms in the world. At any given time, his shop is occupied with masterpieces from major museums and collections. Sorry to say, some of David Howe's collection was damaged in Hurricane Sandy. Unsurprisingly, the damaged work that can be saved is at The Better Image.<br />
<br />
While conservation may seem like an arcane, "insider baseball" topic, it's not. I have heard these guys speak about their field many times. Trust me, it's fascinating. Plus, anyone who is interested in making, owning, or showing photography should also know how to take care of the work in their possession.<br />
<br />
It promises to be a great evening and the closing event of the PGH Photo Fair Speaker Series' first year. Come support our final event and hear the latest updates about the opening of the PGH Photo Fair just a short week later. The 6th PGH Photo Fair Speaker event will be in the lecture hall of the Carnegie Museum.

join us for our next PGH Photo Fair Speaker Series installment as we
welcome New York-based artist, collector, curator and founder of <a href="http://www.601artspace.org/">601Artspace</a>,
David Howe. Following on the heels of the fascinating talk given by
Fred Bidwell last month, we continue to explore the myriad ways that a
collector can approach collecting.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The talk will be held at <a href="http://www.warhol.org/" target="new">The Andy Warhol Museum</a>

</b><br /><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Mr. Howe has been a photographer and a stock-market
investor since childhood. In college he directed plays, studied cinema,
and then for more than a decade continued professional work in film,
cinematography, and lighting. </span>He then left the moving image world for the stock market and started a
family. In the mid-nineties, he began collecting visual art,
concentrating on contemporary art, video, and photography. He sought out
dialogs with artists whose work he admired, such as Jeff Wall, Thomas
Struth, Andreas Gursky, and Hiroshi Sugimoto.
<br />
<br />
In 2002 Howe returned professionally to camera work, enthusiastically
embracing digital media. He studied at the International Center of
Photography, New York, intensifying his visual awareness and engaging
critical issues and discourses in contemporary art and media. Howe’s
studio is in Bushwick, Brooklyn, where he generates his artwork and
research. He travels frequently across the United States to photograph,
make studio visits, and to continue informing his practice.<br />
<br />
As Mr. Howe’s collection began to include large scale contemporary
photographs, he leased space in the historic Starrett-Lehigh Building in
the Chelsea area of New York City. Construction of a gallery was
completed in 2005, and the first show, for private viewing only, went up
that same year. In 2008, an exhibition was mounted for the public, and
the space was named <a href="http://www.601artspace.org/" target="new">601Artspace</a>. <br />
<br />
Today, <a href="http://www.601artspace.org/">601Artspace</a> partners
with artists, curators and other not-for-profit organizations to produce
unconventional exhibitions, talks, film screenings and special projects
within a non-commercial context. Its permanent collection acts as a
catalyst for artistic and curatorial encounters. Through these
interdisciplinary practices 601Artspace engages and investigates issues
in the making, organizing, and reception of contemporary art.<br />
<br />
I hope to see you there!

#14 is ready to upend masculinity. By seeking out contemporary shifts
in the identity and ownership of the masculine, our next issue will
dismantle the social artifice and re-shape its meaning. So how do you
experience masculinity? How does it occupy your space? Where does
masculinity endure today, where does it thrive and falter. Show us what
masculinity looks like — in all its composite identities of wild and
inherent, performative and parody, theoretical and aesthetic. Alter our
expectations, and re-introduce us to masculinity.</span></span><br />

Sorry to say, his lovely wife Laura was not with him as she had broken her wrist earlier in the week after slipping on the floor at O'Hare airport. Her bright, open spirit was missed, but Fred came through in a big way.<br />
<br />
Starting with his genesis as a collector -- including showing a Polaroid portrait of him done by Walker Evans back in the day -- and finishing up outlining the new Bidwell exhibition space, "The Transformer Station", Fred covered many of the important questions asked about collecting and collectors in today's market. Always self-effacing, but direct and factual, it was a treat to hear Fred's views about art in Pittsburgh for the first time.<br />
<br />
Thank you Fred Bidwell for making the evening the success that it was, and thank you to the Warhol for hosting our nearly full house in its beautiful auditorium. Next up is NYC artist/collector/curator, David Howe also speaking at the Warhol on April 10th. Remember, the talks are the 2nd Wednesday of every month until the PGH Photo Fair in May!<br />

photography, sculpture, print, works on paper, video and mixed-media.
Individual artists and galleries are welcome to apply. In its first year,
echo’s single-day exposition drew more than 3,000 visitors; last year’s two-day
event drew more than 10,000 visitors to the 17,000 square foot exposition

<span>echo founder E. Frits Abell said of the
location “The choice of the Library as a venue is ideal: it is larger than our
previous venues, will be a raw , open space, it is well-ventilated and well
lit--with floor-to-ceiling windows, and it is ideally situated in downtown
Buffalo. Exhibitors will be very pleased with the space.”<span> </span></span></div>

for our next PGH Photo Fair Speaker Series installment as we welcome
Northeast Ohio-based art collectors and philanthropists, <b>Fred and Laura Ruth Bidwell</b>, founders of the <a href="http://www.bidwellprojects.com/" target="">Bidwell Foundation</a> and Cleveland’s new events and exhibitions space, <a href="http://www.transformerstation.org/" target="">the Transformer Station</a>.
After exploring the photography world from the perspective of the
auction house and the gallery, the third and fourth installments of the
PGH Photo Fair Speakers Series explore a new area by putting collectors
in the spotlight.<br />
<br />
<i><b>The talk will be held at <a href="http://warhol.org/" target="_blank">The Andy Warhol Museum</a>
on Wednesday, March 13, 2013. Doors open at 6:00pm with a cash bar
followed by our talk at 7pm. This event is free and open to the public. </b></i><br />
<br />
In
this talk, the Bidwells discuss the pleasures and pitfalls of
collecting, how they established their “ground rules” (to guide their
collecting and to keep from getting overwhelmed) and why they chose to
focus on contemporary art. For Fred, one of the
special rewards of collecting living artists is the relationships that
can develop. Besides the satisfaction of supporting creativity, he
notes, “artists tend to be interesting people.”<br />
<br />
Fred and Laura
Bidwell will also introduce to Pittsburgh their latest project: the
Transformer Station. This public-private partnership with the Cleveland
Museum of Art, unique in the United States, is designed to bring
original contemporary arts exhibitions, events and programming from
around the world to the west side of Cleveland.<br />
<br />
The Bidwells were
first inspired to collect photo-based art after visiting a friend and
passionate collector, whose home had been transformed into a remarkable
floor-to-ceiling exhibition. Gradually, as their collection grew in size
and significance, Bidwell Projects was formed. Today, the Bidwell
Foundation supports numerous artists and arts institutions concentrating
in Northeast Ohio. They have worked closely with Akron Museum of Art,
University of Akron, Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, SPACES
Gallery, Inter-Museum Conservation Association and the Cleveland Museum
of Art. <br />
<br />
Just as a refresher about the genesis of all this: PGH Photo
Fair, through the auspices of Fugitive Vision, LLC, is sponsoring six
talks on photography at a variety of venues in Pittsburgh on the 2nd
Wednesday of every month leading up to the fair this Spring. The series
aims to augment the already rich art and photography scene in Pittsburgh
with speakers who will focus on the state of the art, collecting, and
connoisseurship.<br />

Tom brought dozens of examples -- from Roger Fenton to Ken Josephson -- to illustrate his thoughts on connoisseurship, pricing, process, and (most importantly) his passion for the medium. The goal of the series has been to encourage debate and conversation around photography, so it was a pleasure to hear Tom's talk peppered with questions and enthusiastic responses. Gitterman Gallery will be one of the 12 galleries featured in the PGH Photo Fair this May 18-19, so those who missed the talk will have another chance to speak with Tom about photography and the work he will be bringing to show.<br />
<br />
Remember, the Speaker Series is every 2nd Wednesday of the month up to the time of the fair in May. Next up will be Fred and Laura Bidwell, noted collectors from the Cleveland area, at the Warhol on March 13th. A post dedicated to that event will be up soon.

Gitterman will share his expert knowledge and experience on collecting
photography in a talk at The Mattress Factory Art Museum<span style="color: black;">. Some of you may remember Mr. Gitterman from his participation in last

ways that a photograph can be valued, what to look for when considering a print

to look for.” </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">In addition to over 20
years of experience in the fine art photography world, Gitterman brings an

It was SRO to hear Ms Bell speak on a wide variety of subjects from the ins and outs of the auction business to her thoughts on the world of contemporary photography. The crowd was an engaged mix of both amateurs (in the true French sense of the word) and art world professionals which led to a lively question and answer session. We ended up going quite a bit overtime because the questions kept on coming. Thank you to all who came to hear Ms Bell and to support the PGH Photo Fair Speaker series. I appreciate it more than I can say!<br />
<br />
Next up is Tom Gitterman of Gitterman Gallery in NY. He will be bringing dozens of hands on examples in order to discuss the role of connoisseurship in buying a photograph. We will be doing away with the standard lecture format for this one. There will be matted examples of work to be passed around and viewed individually as Mr Gitterman discusses details that can only be seen in person and close-up. Not to be missed! More details as the event comes closer.<br />

President Specialist of the Photographs Department at Christie's auction house.
Today, she admits, she i<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=57198975284327285" name="_GoBack"></a>s “still new to the business.” In
the strictest sense, this may be true, but her long engagement with photography
is as multifaceted as the medium itself. As a volunteer tour guide at the
Walker Art Center during her teens, then as a BFA student, later as a freelance
photographer, a printer, a professor, and, finally, as a professional dealer
with her own gallery, Bell's scholarship and experience set a high standard.
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Deborah Bell will share her insights and expertise as a part of the
impressive lineup at the <a href="http://www.pghphotofair.com/speakers.html">PGH Photo Fair Speaker’s Series</a>. The evening will
discuss market trends, the differences between running her own gallery and
managing a full department at a major auction house, and the work she’s been
doing to consolidate Christie’s tremendous reputation for “single-owner sales.”
These sales consist of works drawn exclusively from a single collection. As
more important early collections from the 1970s and 80s appear on the market,
Bell explains, her department becomes more sensitive to their peculiarities.
Unlike the “various owner” sales that feature objects from various consignors, single-owner
sales often take fascinating biographical or aesthetic shapes, reflecting the
character of the collector in surprising ways. Beyond the obvious appeal to
collectors of photography, this talk will interest pretty much anyone who has
an interest in the medium. But photography is not the sole topic of interest
here. Anyone who has a passion for contemporary art and the role of the major
auction houses in that market will be curious to hear what Ms Bell has to say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

This is the second talk of the ongoing PGH Photo Fair
Speakers Series. The first was delivered earlier this December by the curator
and author Marvin Heiferman to a jam-packed Carnegie Museum apartment space in
Lawrenceville. Following the format of this earlier event, Bell’s presentation
will include a conversation with me followed by audience questions.</div>

<br />
I'm thrilled to announce the first public project of Fugitive Vision, LLC, my new company to promote photo-based events and projects as well as art advisory to a few select clients. You can find all the details, participating galleries, and background for the fair by clicking the above link to take you to the fair's website.<br />
<br />
I give my special thanks to the fabulous galleries who were willing to take a chance on an inaugural event like this. I also want to thank the Ace Hotel. The fair will be housed in a fabulous former YMCA building which will be developed into the Ace. Both Ace and developer Edile have been essential to making this the great event it will be.<br />
<br />
I hope to see lots of friends as well as 100s of new faces.

13 – 15 July 2012<br />
<br />
Submissions are still open until Friday 16th March 2012.<br />
<br />
PhotoIreland Festival’s portfolio review weekend 2012 will take place from 13-15 July 2012 in Dublin city, representing a unique opportunity for emerging artists worldwide to highlight new photographic projects and meet with international professionals.<br />
<br />
During the weekend of the portfolio reviews your work will be evaluated by international and Irish curators, gallery owners, festival directors, publishers and other photography professionals. You will also be invited to our opening networking event on 13 July, where the selected submissions for portfolio reviews will be presented in a series of projections.<br />
<br />
The reviews will offer insights, critique and advice on your work, providing you with invaluable feedback on your artistic development and expanding your professional network.<br />
<br />
The international portfolio reviewers are:<br />
• Walter Bergmoser – Curator & Photographer, Soul<br />
• Reinhard Braun – Camera Austria, Graz<br />
• Stefanie Braun – Photographers’ Gallery, London<br />
• Gösta Flemming – Journal, Stockholm<br />
• Nora Hauswirth – former CEO Sodapix, independent curator, Zurich<br />
• David Kronn – Private Collector, New York<br />
• Trish Lambe – Gallery of Photography, Dublin<br />
• Dewi Lewis – Publisher, London<br />
• Louise Mazmanian – FORMAT Festival, Derby<br />
• Andreas Müller-Pohle – European Photography, Berlin<br />
• Moritz Neumüller – PhotoIreland, Dublin/Barcelona<br />
• Markus Schaden – schaden.com, Cologne<br />
<br />
<br />
Successful portfolio submissions should consist of a body of work or a project in progress. All submitted portfolios will initially be reviewed by a selected Jury who are looking for new, emerging talent and works by established artists using photography. The members of the selection jury are: Peggy Sue Amison (Sirius Arts Centre), Nora Hauswirth, Leszek Wolnik (Fire.ie), Tanya Kiang and Trish Lambe (Gallery of Photography), Richard Mosse, Moritz Neumüller and Ángel Luis González.<br />
<br />
The Jury will select 30 portfolios for review from all submitted work. Among those 30 selected portfolios one overall winner will be chosen by the reviewers on July 15th, who will get the opportunity to exhibit in a solo show during the 2013 festival.<br />
<br />
While there is an open theme for the portfolio submissions, we particularly welcome portfolios and photobooks around the festival theme of ‘Migrations: Diaspora and Cultural Identity’, to enjoy the opportunity to participate in the main exhibition of 2012.<br />
<br />
Deadline<br />
Submissions for portfolios are open from Wednesday, 4 January to Friday, 16 March 2012.</div><div class="comment-content" id="bc_0_0MC"><br />
