Tanya Marcuse: The Body
Sat-Sun, July 4-5
In
this intense weekend workshop participants will be immersed in exploring
ideas and images of the body. This
workshop is about looking, thinking and creating – all at once. The
subject of the body is as ancient as art itself, yet the topic has
taken on renewed urgency in the last few decades of identity politics,
HIV-AIDS, feminist inquiry and the quest for beauty.
Discussions,
presentations, and on location shooting exercises with professional models
will explore a range of conceptual and aesthetic approaches
to making photographs of the body. We will explore themes such
as: the body in motion, lighting the body, the figure in nature,
and the body as portrait. Students will have the opportunity to share
their photographs from the previous day’s shoot to gain constructive
feedback within a supportive and passionate environment. You will leave
this workshop with a greatly enriched sense of the endless expressive
possibilities of photographing the body and an deeper understanding of the current critical discourse surrounding images
of the human figure.
Tanya
Marcuse is a critically acclaimed
photographer whose work investigates the body and the archive.
She received her MFA from Yale University in 1990 and is the
recipient of many awards and honors including a Guggenheim Fellowship,
Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, a John Anson Kittredge Award, as well as two
Photographer Fellowships from CPW. Her
work has been published in two monographs, Undergarments and Armor
and Fruitless, both by Nazraeli Press.
Marcuse’s photographs have been exhibited internationally including at Hemphill Fine Art, Yoshii Gallery, Stephen Cohen
Gallery, the Museum at FIT, Belfast
Exposed Photography in Northern Ireland, the New Museum of
Contemporary Art, the Corcoran Museum of Art, and at the Julie Saul
Gallery, where she is also represented.

Doug Beasley: Zen & the Art of Photography
Sat-Sun
July 18-19
CPW
is pleased to welcome renowned
photographer Doug Beasley for the first
time to the Woodstock Photography Workshops!
In this workshop you
will revitalize your photographic practice by exploring your relationship
to your subject, your camera, and yourself. Through exercises,
assignments and field trips participants will start to deepen their visual
awareness while clarifying their artistic approach, which will create a
more personal & meaningful image-making experience. This workshop
provides a unique opportunity to rethink our expectations of what
it means to ‘see’. We will work
on cultivating simplicity while making
more powerful photographs, supporting
the notion that a photograph is not ‘taken’ but made.
Douglas
Beasley’s personal vision explores the spiritual aspects of people
and place and is concerned with how the sacred is recognized and expressed
in everyday life. Beasley’s work has been exhibited internationally and
is widely published
in magazines such as The
Sun,
B&W, PDN and PhotoVision. His
first book: Japan; A Nisei’s First Encounter,
published in 1999, offers
insight
into his journey to his mother’s homeland. Recent projects
include ‘Silent Witness: Genocide and the Landscape’
which was commissioned by Minnesota Center for Photography
and ‘Disappearing Green Space,’ funded
by a McKnight Photography Fellowship
in 2002. As founder and
director of Vision Quest Photo Workshops,
Beasley has provided photography workshops that emphasize personal
expression and creative vision since
1992. He lives in
a small wooden
home in Saint Paul, MN where, when
not out traveling the world, he can be found tending his Japanese Gardens

Dan Estabrook: Salt & Silver
Sat-Sun
July 25-26
In
this workshop you will re-discover
some of the earliest processes in Photography, from the first experiments
before 1839 and Talbot’s ‘Photogenic Drawings’, to later advancements
in chemistry. Through hands-on
demonstrations, participants will see for themselves the beauty of
the salt print, including the simplicity of its materials, long tonal
scale and variability of effects, as
well as by evoking all the romance of the beginnings of the
art.
Dan
Estabrook has been using nineteenth-century photographic techniques to
make innovative contemporary art for over fifteen years. Mixing media and
processes, he has investigated the early history of Photography to suit
his own purposes, re-crafted and re- invented to make the very personal work
for which he is known. Recently he
has focused on the links between drawing and the first photographs
on paper, and Talbot’s calotype process
in particular. He has exhibited widely and received several awards
including an Artist’s Fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts
in 1994. The Catherine Edelman Gallery in Chicago and Jackson Fine
Art in Atlanta represent his work.
