LightBox is pleased to announce the call for submissions for the third annual Plastic Fantastic Show. We wish to stay true to pure film photography using plastic, pinhole, box or homemade cameras. No digital photography will be considered. LightBox appreciates photographic images made with plastic “toy” cameras and established this show to celebrate the gallery’s anniversary every year!
LightBox is very honored to have Susan Burnstine as juror once again for the Plastic Fantastic Show. Susan is an award winning professional fine art photographer based in Los Angeles who builds homemade cameras and lenses primarily made out of plastic, vintage camera parts and random household objects. Susan is represented in galleries across the world, her images are mesmerizing and dreamlike, using film with the purity of the process as a vital element, without relying on digital processing.
Last year, Shane Lavalette was commissioned by the High Museum of Art in Atlanta to create a new body of photographs for their “Picturing the South” series, which will also include contributions from notable names like Martin Parr. Having growing up listening to traditional Southern music like old time, blues, and gospel, Lavalette decide that the region’s vibrant musical past would be the ideal filter through which to explore its contemporary cultural landscape. The result? A series of photographs that are equally as vibrant and individually striking as the sounds that inspired them. The project may be technically complete now, but Lavalette is nowhere near finished. He’ll collect his images into a self-published book — and it’s our Project of the Day.

Continuing the tradition of bringing photography’s most inspirational figures to Austin, Austin Center for Photography (ACP) is pleased to announce Icons of Photography No.14 with Joel-Peter Witkin. Beginning in 2009, the quarterly Icons of Photography Lecture Series features world renowned photographers as they present their work, methods, and stories. These lectures are the cornerstone of ACP’s service to Austin and the local photography community.
Photographer Joel-Peter Witkin pushes boundaries with his powerful and exploratory photographs of the human condition. He has long pursued his interest in spirituality and morality and how it impacts the physical world. Finding beauty within the grotesque, Witkin focuses on subjects cast aside by society — human spectacles and “any living myth…bearing the wounds of Christ.” Heavily influenced by art history and literature, Witkin’s expressive and provocative photographs question established notions of beauty and normality. Following the lecture, Witkin will sign his latest books, which are available for purchase at the Blanton bookstore.

Some words with Russell Joslin (Jan 2011) -
“It’s as though I understand things on a subconscious level, and it takes my photographs, or dreams, for these things to be revealed consciously.”
