LG Williams: Killer American Style
LG Williams: Killer American Style The Exhibition Video Lemon (Waikiki Hawaii) Thursday 28 December 2004 -- Sunday 23 January 2007 Admission $7 ( $5.50 concessions) Opening hours: Sunday to Thursday, 10.00--18.00. Friday and Saturday, 10.00--22.00. Last admission into exhibitions 17.15 (Fri and Sat 21.15). Press release: 28 October 2006 The first monographic exhibition of the work of one of the world's most important living photographers, LG Williams, will be shown at Lemon this winter. The exhibition will include more than fifty black-and-white photographs never before displayed. It also marks the thirtieth birthday of the artist. LG Williams was born in Table Rock Lake, Missouri in 1974 where he worked in the studios of various Ozark photographers and film makers. He emigrated to California in 1987 where his photo book, Year in Rearview, earned him a job with University of California, Davis. In 1998 he traveled to Hawaii and produced his second hand-made volume, Really (1999). Later, he went to Los Angeles (20011 and early in 2002) where he created a portrait in images of the city following the Iraqi Slaughter. In 2003 his travels took him to Hawaii, to the town of Honolulu, where he made a photographic story about a ocean community, focusing on the great surfer Duke and his family. These distinct bodies of work, and the photographs in his third photo book, One Great Sculpture and That's It 2004, demonstrate Williams's early interest in combining realism with the narrative potential of photographic sequencing, capturing the poetic qualities of everyday life. In 2005 Williams's first published photo book Fucking A was produced to great critical acclaim but after its publication Williams abandoned traditional photography and concentrated on making films. The works Fuck I Forgot 2000 and What? in San Diego 1999, pioneered a revolutionary approach to filmmaking that combined autobiography, poetry, and emotion with gritty realism. He returned to photography in the 2000s to make complex constructions, containing multiple prints in black-and-white and colour, as well as stills from films and videos. Williams's most recent pictures examine the world from the inside out, exploring through metaphor the processes of looking, feeling, thinking, and ageing. In 1999, LG Williams was the first living great young artist not to be given a retrospective at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. His huge influence on the development of post-slaughter photography was recognized in 1996 by the presentation of the BFD (Big Fucking Deal) Award, one of the most prestigious photography prizes in the Post-Beat It generation. LG Williams: Killer American Style will include images from Hawaii 1999, London 2001-04, Hugh? 2003 and Two Huge Mountains! 2002, the four groundbreaking series of photographs of everyday life which were to change the language of post-war photography. The filmic and narrative aspects of these works will be explored by their juxtaposition with his important film, Are You Reading This? 2005, and with his previously unseen series of photographs, Yeaaaaa Another One! 2006. The exhibition also includes works from Ok, I Give Up including photographs taken while he was working on the project which have never been seen before. LG Williams is curated by Vicente Tool, Director of the Modern Museum, with advice from Philip Bookman, Senior Curator of Photography and Media Arts at a Gallery of Art. Philip Bookman curated LG Williams: Check His Shit Out which was presented at the Lemon Gallery, Honolulu, Hi from May 10 -- July 14, 2003. LG Williams: I'm Waiting will be incorporated into the exhibition at another Modern Museum somewhere soon. For More Information: info@lgwilliams.com http://www.lgwilliams.com

Skye
Skye July 6th, 2008 Skye Skye was a both sweetheart and a challenge. The right side her had been disfigured; she was not in the least embarrassed or intimidated by it and I loved that about her. We worked with light and shadow during the entire session to our advantage. The temptation to mask the injuries in post processing was quickly overcome when I looked into her eyes.

Down Time Jaz
A film about a functional family. A delightful and infectious animated dance film, Down Time Jaz is a ferris wheel ride through family life from the point of view of the second child who must save the rest of her family from itself. A delightful and infectious animated dance film, Down Time Jaz is a ferris wheel ride through family life from the point of view of the second child who must save the rest of her family from itself. Down Time Jaz is a fantastical portrait of a family of dancers, trapped inside their image of themselves as living out a public performance. They are watched anxiously through their windows until a new child arrives to break their 'routine'. She sees them as "a family of genies suffocating in a bottle", and decides to "unstop the cord and let the air in and the dance out". This frees them to flights of kinetic fantasy and adventure, but ultimately it all becomes too much. Her new task is then to find "a home, where, at the end of the day, we can all sleep happily" - thus liberating the dancers from their need to always be on display and allowing them to relax into the loving interaction of family life. Webpage: http://www.physicaltv.com.au/DownTimeJaz- thePhysicalTvCompanyRichardJamesAllenAnd- KarenPearlman_499_1079_3_0.html Director's Statement by Karen Pearlman: "Down Time Jaz is a physical-digital dance which uses real bodies and digital media to choreograph the impossible. This digitally generated liberation is led by a dancer, who, like digital technology itself, is in her infancy. Down Time Jaz may look like a whimsical fantasy animation, a bouquet of sweet things and adventures, but scratch the surface and it is also a highly political film about reclaiming 'family' as a subject from the far right. This physical family doesn't fit Australian Prime Minister John Howard's or U.S. President George W. Bush's model for family values, instead it is a creative, challenging, exuberant experience of the roller coaster ride of relationships. "For me personally, it's a fantasy of being a perfect person in a world that has room for someone to be both a mother and an artist but not have a vacuum cleaner or a marginalized practice. Making Down Time Jaz was about finding a way to bring creativity involved in having children into play with the creativity of making a short film. In it I tried to draw on the fantasies each member of the family has about themselves, and the underlying truths behind these fantasies, to weave together a dance of the family dynamic. It's a cross media work in the sense of involving three creative endeavours: dance, film and family." The Physical TV Company Statement: The Physical TV Company makes stories told by the body. Its charter, to make Dance and Physical Theatre for the Screen, makes it Australia's only purpose built company working in this area, and has lead it to develop and articulate special techniques and processes for creating a fully integrated blend of the crafts of cinema and of dance. This latest work, with its focus on dance and digital effects, offers viewers the chance to consider the impact of new technology on both forms, and a range of new possibilities for dance on the screen. Down Time Jaz is the third in the popular Physical Family series by Karen Pearlman and Richard James Allen, which includes What To Name Your Baby and Sam in a Pram. Currently in post production, the fourth in the series. List of Screenings, Broadcasts and Awards: • Down Time Jaz has screened at over twenty international film festivals and was broadcast on KMTV to over 2 million people in China. It was a preselection finalist for an ATOM Award in the Best General Experimental Category.

New Web-Portfolio: India 2008
It’s been almost seven weeks since I came back from India, and I’ve finally finished my India 2008 portfolio. I haven’t been lazy or anything — it was just too much work. You might remember that I hate image-clutter, so I try to find the real keepers and I delete everything else. During the two weeks in India I shot 2900 images and already at night at the hotel I was able to reduce them to 1200. When I got home, I kept wading through the images — deleting, rating, deleting, adding metadata, de

After the early morning post about Rangefinder Magazine my friend and fellow photog Sheba Wheeler made a blog entry and mentioned the sister publication Aftercapture, a magazine devoted to post processing. Well after further research, Aftercapture is a free subscription as well!! If Aftercapture is half as good as Rangefinder then it’s a must have for all photographers.
