In
regards to his recent LACMA exhibition: Trajectories:
The Photographic Work of Robbert Flick (September
12, 2004-January 9, 2005), ROBERT FLICK, PHIL
ETHINGTON, and TOMO ISOYAMA
will speak about their collaborative effort Ghost
Trajectories, an interactive web-based artwork.
Their conversation will focus on the interactions
of art, geography, history, photography, and urban
experience. Noted photo-based artist Robbert Flick's
work takes a conceptual approach to landscape photography;
the exhibition traces his career from the 1970s to
the present. Phil Ethington is a cultural and political
historian; he has written a forth-coming study of
political economy, racial segregation, visual culture,
and the rebuilt spatial environment in Los Angeles
over the past eighty years. Tomo Isoyama is an artist
whose practice focuses on the visualization of archived
data and its analysis in cross-cultural contexts.

 MONA
KUHN was born in Brazil in 1969 and now lives
in San Francisco. She worked as a photographer in France
for many years prior to moving to the United States.
The people in Mona Kuhn's photographs are nude but not
naked. Completely relaxed before the camera, they give
the impression that nothing could clothe them better
than their own skin. With a unique style, Kuhn's intimate
photographs of both young and old are sensual compositions
of skin and wrinkles, light and shadow, gestures and
gazes. She creates taught, composed images and balance
sharply rendered portraits against blurred backgrounds
to lure the eye and provoke the imagination. Solo exhibitions
of her work have been held in Berlin, New York, Los
Angeles, Munich, Hamburg, Sao Paulo, and San Francisco.
A new monograph was publised by Steidl, Mona Kuhn: Photographs.
Seeking the innermost self in her photographs, Kuhn
achieves a mood of intimacy by photographing up close
models she knows well. Her photographs are a product
of lasting relationships built on mutual affection.
In a sense, the images are based on the memory of shared
experiences. – Julie Nelson |

 BILL
OWENS defined our suburban lives in the early
1970’s with his memorable, unadulterated photographic
essay published in 1972, Suburbia. While a photographer
at a local newspaper, Bill Owens set out to document these
newly implanted communities that began to reflect a new
lifestyle for America. Suburbia became the first of many
explorations by artists that recorded the banal but wondrous
modern world and was recently selected as one of 101 books
that were seminal photographic books of the 20th Century.
Two other books were published after the release of Suburbia
in the 1970’s, Our Kind of People, and Working.
His new book, Leisure, accompanies an exhibition at the
ICP in New York. He has received a Guggenheim fellowship
and two NEA Grants. His photographs have been exhibited
internationally and are in many collections including
The Museum of Modern Art, Berkeley Art Museum, Los Angeles
County Art Museum, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

The Friends of Photography from 1980 to 1984, when she joined
the staff at Magnum Photos in New York City to head exhibition

workshops for photographers, Swanson is a strong advocate
