Join photographers Tim Davis, Tim Hetherington and An-my Lê for a discussion on contemporary war photography. Tim Davis, known for his monograph My Life in Politics, calls himself a photographer who sees “unintended derangements of objects in offices, hospitals, strip malls and the political sphere.” An-my Lê approaches from the unique standpoint of a Vietnam War refuge, and for her work Small Wars she photographed Vietnam War reenactors in North Carolina. This panel, Social Change, Conflict and a New Photographic Paradigm, moderated by Richard B. Woodward is organized in conjunction with Visions of War: The Arts Represent Conflict and is presented by the BFA Photography and Humanities & Sciences Departments at SVA.

Below is an update on some of the latest goings on with three Aperture artists. On view at the Greenberg Van Doren Gallery in New York, The New Antiquity, features work from artist Tim Davis. Similar in tone to My Life in Politics, Davis surveys contemporary culture with his decisive lens, always with an element of wit and skepticism.

Photographer Brian Ulrich of MP3: Midwest Photographers Publication Project, is on display at Robert Koch Gallery in San Francisco. His exhibition, Dark Stores responds to the 2001 call from the U.S. government to stimulate the economy through shopping. The work presents a skeptical gaze at the over-developed suburban retail landscape that is instantly recognizable, even considering his omission of logos and brand names.

One of the artists from Aperture’s The Edge of Vision: Abstraction in Contemporary Photography, artist Silvio Wolf has a solo exhibition in Milan, Before Time, featuring works created specifically for Galleria Nicoletta Rusconi that explores the dynamic relationship between object and viewer. Wolf’s project was conceived as a single work consisting of seven different elements, which form a series of stations. After spending years examining images and their role in contemporary society, Wolf now shifts focus to the viewer and to the resulting interaction from this relationship.

An exhibition of the work of Tim Davis, who’s book My Life in Politics was published by Aperture in 2006, is on view in Zurich, Switzerland. Like the book, this exhibition focuses on Davis’s exploration of political imagery. In this show of political portraiture, he focuses on the remnants of posters of politicians who hold a diverse range of beliefs. With time, the colors on the posters have faded until only the cyan, which typically has the most staying power, remains. Davis explains, “After a few months, these full-color images look like ghosts of themselves…I thought of [this blue] as the blue of disappearance…[The images] may be all surface, but their surfaces —faded, degraded, familiar, scraped away— have something to say.”
