photo l.a. 2009

The Barker Hangar, Santa Monica

For photo L.A. 2009, Raul Vincent Enriquez will present a selection of moving image portraits, pinups and still lifes. All of his moving image work is derived from hundreds, sometimes thousands, of digital photographs meticulously sequenced and aligned to create a calm fixed point of focus surrounded by errant chaotic movement.

Enriquez works to create moments in which something real, true, and often uncomfortable (but at its base, beautiful) breaks the bonds of expectation, habit, or social convention. His work is saturated with emotional vulnerability, but always as frank as possible.

Tiffany Trenda
“We are all bodies of flesh and a network of information.”

Tiffany Trenda's work is an investigation of howhuman is defined and redefined through the integration of technology. She questions how the machine has become an intrinsic part of the body and how that inorganic/organic material fused together as a digital collage. Her central process is to take technology (LCDs, video projectors, cameras, etc.) and create a digital environment with an embodied performance that simulates the human psyche inside the digital world. The viewer is experimenting almost physically how the human psyche evolves to relate and survive within the machine.

Her new performance will continue this mixture as she will perform inside a lifesize brownie box camera and begin to explore how we view ourselves through pictures, photographs, and images. The performance will define how the human brain relates to an image as a portal to another world or an escape into a memory. When getting in connection with a picture, the mind constructs identifications with the object represented. Tiffany shows how technology has forever changed this relationship,

In 1996 she was honored as a California Arts Scholar and later attended Pratt Institute in New York. Trenda is a graduate of Art Center College of Design and is based out of Malibu, CA. She works with performance, video installation, and photography. She has exhibited at Robert Berman Gallery, Farmani Gallery, Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, Track 16, Highways, Photo San Francisco and is a finalist of the London International Creative Competition.

MoH/08
Photography in books has not only influenced collectors and curators, but also generations of photographers. Since Robert Frank published his Les Américains in 1958, the photobook is a source for artistic inspiration and creative reference.

As a homage to the photobook per se the exhibition Marks Of Honour – A Striking Library has been created in a cooperation between Amsterdam galerist Willem van Zoetendaal and Cologne bookseller Markus Schaden. His assistances Nina Poppe and Verena Loewenhaupt were responsible for the organisation and are now curating Marks of Honour 2008 (MoH/08).
In 2005 there have been invited 41 international photographers to choose a photobook which was influential to the formation of their work, and to pay it artistical homage. The resulting works have been shown in Amsterdam in FOAM Museum for photography and the Van Zoetendaal galery.

The basic concept remains the same. In MoH/08 are only 13 photographers participating, to optain a higher focus.

All participating works (limited to three copies, each containing the original photobook and it´s complentary homage) offer a wide spectrum of enthusiasm for photobooks and the variety of inspiration sources of international photoartists.

In sum Marks Of Honour constitutes a singular library and a system of reference on the most sustainable influences as much as the freshest in contemporary photography.

But who says that a museums fundus should entirely consist of photographic prints? You could start with books all the same... With a pool of a hundred photobooks, one could ensure that the history of modern photoworks of art is recognizable for the museumcrowd, for specialists, consultants and curators in excellent examples.“ Ulf Erdmann Ziegler

First only as co-curators, MoH/08 is curated and organized by Nina Poppe and Verena Loewenhaupt. This time 13 contemporary photographers are creating another Striking Library. International exhibitions and a significant catalogue will follow.
