This past weekend Aperture work-scholar’s made the trip up to Woodstock, New York to visit The Center for Photography at Woodstock as well as to see the Slideluck Potshow (a traveling photography slide show and potluck celebration) which was hosted at the Center that evening. CPW Executive director Ariel Shanberg gave work-scholars a tour of the center and discussed the different kinds of resources the Center provides for the international photography community, including residencies, juried publications and exhibitions, workshops with master photographers and darkroom and digital labs.

The Center for Photography at Woodstock’s gallery space is open to the public and this Saturday the second part of a two part exhibition curated by Aperture’s Lesley A. Martin goes on view. The show is called Either/And and it considers our contemporary moment in photography in two installments: The New Skew (June 12 – July 18) and The New Docugraphics (July 26 – August 29).

Black Power by Hank Willis Thomas

The third annual New York Photo Festival (NYPH) Kicks off today!

This year the festival features Aperture Presents, a series of panel discussions at St. Ann’s Warehouse, curated by Aperture’s editors. Panels will take place each day from 4:30-5:20 p.m.

The first panel taking place this afternoon will feature artists Justine Reyes, Brian Ulrich, and Hank Willis Thomas presenting their work and experiences securing funding, reviews, fellowships, and grants.

Tomorrow Aperture will bring together Amy Elkins, co-founder of Women in Photography; Ariel Shanberg, executive director of the Center for Photography at Woodstock; and Amy Yenkin, director of Open Society Institute, to offer insight on how artists can better benefit from the various opportunities available to them.

In addition Aperture will present a conversation with photographer Eirik Johnson (whose series of photographs Sawdust Mountain is currently on view at Aperture) and picture editor of Orion magazine, Jason Houston. The four day panel series will conclude with an artist’s talk by 2008 Aperture Portfolio Prize runner-up and emerging artist Jowhara AlSaud.
