The Center for Photography at Woodstock (CWP) presents CARBON, a site specific exhibition by the artist Charles Lindsay. Fascinated by space exploration and abstract art, Lindsay created “camera-less photographs” by experimenting with and distorting negatives and carbon based emulsions. The result is an interactive, multi-media installation that fuses sculptures (made with recycled bio-tech equipment), images, videos, and audio recordings. In conjunction with CARBON, the CPW will host the multi-media concert Trout Fishing in Space. The one-night only event will be held on Saturday, December 10 at 7:00 pm and will feature the audio and visual art of five different performers, including Lindsay.

Charles Lindsay is a photographer and musician with a degree in geology. His work explores our modern interactions with the earth. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship for his CARBON project. Aperture offers Lindsay’s limited-edition print Brown Trout, California.

The Center for Photography at Woodstock’s 2010 Photography Now exhibit Either/And, curated by Aperture’s Lesley A. Martin, is currently on view. Culling from submissions of artist’s work, the exhibit considers “What defines contemporary practice?” in two parts.

The first part of the exhibit entitled The New Skew opened this weekend and highlights conceptual works that challenge photographic traditions by artists Erica Allen, Gabriel Garcia Roman, Matthew Gamber, Sarah Palmer, Jordan Tate, Rachel Bee Porter, Charles Shotwell, Amy Stevens, Sam Falls and Laura Wulf.

Part two of the exhibit, which opens July 26th, is entitled The New Docugraphics and brings together artist’s Cynthia Bittenfield, Jennifer Wilkey, Brook Reynolds, Natan Dvir, Eric White, Heather O’Brien, Thomas Gardiner, Tony Chirinos, Mike Mergen, whom explore personal and timely issues and events within a documentary framework.

On view during both shows will be a digital slideshow of images from their counterparts.
