Follow on Google News | Woodbury University’s Julius Shulman Institute Exhibition Showcases Innovative PhotographersNew Exhibition -- ‘Beyond the Assignment: Defining Photographs of Architecture and Design’ – Opens October 5 at Woodbury’s WUHO Gallery in Hollywood
Curated by photographer Bilyana Dimitrova,Beyond the Assignment: Defining Photographs of Architecture and Design examines the work of ten of today’s leading architectural photographers in the United States who respond to the image making legacy of their predecessors, such as Julius Shulman and Ezra Stoller, while also challenging our basic understanding of architectural photography as a practice. These photographers pursue innovative ways to create indelible images that make their subjects unforgettable. By expertly documenting and artfully interpreting the built environment, these artists provide a critical contribution to the history of photography, mass media, and the architecture profession. Beyond the Assignment takes a long-overdue look at the way architectural photographers use visual storytelling, technical precision, and a unique visual sensibility to shape the way we see the built environment. These photographers move “beyond the assignment” and help immortalize today’s architecture and design. The exhibition features the individual artists who are often hidden behind the projects that they document, including: Peter Aaron, Esto Photographics Inc., NYC Jon Miller, Hedrich Blessing, Chicago Bilyana Dimitrova, Jersey City, NJ Undine Pröhl, Los Angeles Joe Fletcher, Oakland Tim Street-Porter, Los Angeles Timothy Hursley, Little Rock Lara Swimmer, Seattle Alan Karchmer, Washington, DC Paul Warchol, New York City Hailing from Chicago, Washington D.C., Little Rock, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Seattle, the selected photographers are responsible for creating lasting visual experiences that are part of our collective consciousness.They, like Peter Aaron, worked directly with the pioneers in the field or, like Lara Swimmer, represent more recent wave of photographers who can look to what is now the field’s long history. The Julius Shulman Institute’s focus is on the exhibition and publication of artists who address landscape design, buildings, and cities through their photographic work. Through shows such as Beyond the Assignment, the Julius Shulman Institute lays the disciplinary foundations necessary to define this area of cultural production. “Many of today’s seminal photographers remain unknown artists behind their images, despite the lasting imprint their work makes,” explains JSI Director Emily Bills. “The Julius Shulman Institute supports Beyond the Assignment as a means to begin shaping a much-needed history of architectural photography in the United States, taking as a key area of interest the work of mid-career photographers active today.” An accompanying panel discussion that will include photographers in the exhibition, architects, and members of the media will take place on Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 5 p.m. at LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions) Woodbury University School of Architecture is a network of hubs strategically sited within the Southern California megalopolis: About the Curator Bilyana Dimitrova was born in Sofia, Bulgaria and immigrated to the US with her parents as a young child.
