On Thursday, May 20th you are invited to join us for the exhibition opening of

Darcy Padilla’s riveting documentary “The Julie Project.”

17 years in the making, this unique and award-winning project follows the life of one woman, Julie Baird. The story begins in 1993, when Darcy meets an 19 year-old runaway with a newborn in her arms in the lobby of an SRO in San Francisco’s Tenderloin. Over the years Darcy has photographed Julie’s complex story of AIDS, multiple homes, relationships, drugs, poverty, births, deaths, loss and reunion. Following Julie from the backstreets of San Francisco to the backwoods of Alaska.

An epic and powerful story exhibited in its entirety for the first time.

WHEN: Thursday, May 20th, 2010

TIME: 5:00 to 7:30 pm

WHERE: FiftyCrows Gallery 49 Geary St, Suite 225   San Francisco, CA 94108

Darcy Padilla is a documentary photographer and photojournalist living in San Francisco. Published in Time, Rolling Stone, and The New Yorker, among others. Her honors include an Alexia Award, Soros Fellowship and Guggenheim Fellowship.

Darcy Padilla’s unflinching portrayal of Julie Baird is one of the most in-depth, visceral, and captivating documentaries in recent memory.

Her work has received numerous grants and awards including an Alexia Foundation for World Peace & Understanding Award, Open Society Institute Individual Fellowship, and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship.

The latest iteration of this paramount work will be on display at Fifty Crows Gallery, beginning with our May 20th opening. Doors will be open from 4 PM to 7:30 PM. Fifty Crows would like to welcome everyone to join us in this momentous event. We hope to see you there.

About the project:

JULIE - “For the last 16 years I have been documenting the life of an AIDs-afflicted woman, Julie Baird. Julie has been on her own since her sexually abusive stepfather threw her through a glass window when she was 14 years old. She ran away from home, lived on the street, used drugs, contracted HIV, and had five children. When I first met Julie in February 1993 in the lobby of a SRO hotel in San Francisco’s Tenderloin, she was 18 years old and had just given birth to her first child, Rachel. Julie and Jack Fyffe, the 19 year-old father were both HIV positive. Rachel, they said, was their main reason for living.

Throughout the years I have photographed Julie’s complex story of AIDS, abusive relationships, drug use, multiple homes and poverty. A victim of child abuse, Julie often neglected her own children. A high school dropout, she depends on welfare to feed her family. HIV-positive, she fights to stay off drugs.

Julie’s is a story of a survivor. The telling of it enriches the understanding of the poorest and most desperate among us. I am continuing to document Julie’s life and it is my fervent hope that Julie’s story inspires a greater awareness of the plight of people like her.”

 

A Deeper Look at Surface Beauty

• An interactive online colloquium
• Organized by the Freer Gallery of Art/Arthur M. Sackler Gallery
• May 12, 2010, 8:30 – 10 pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Taking the Freer Gallery exhibition Surface Beauty: American Art and Freer’s Aesthetic Vision as a jumping off point, this colloquium explores the complicated narratives of cultural transmission and translation that lie beneath the surface harmonies of collector Charles Lang Freer’s aesthetic vision. Following an exhibition overview, curator Lee Glazer will discuss how the objects in the exhibition relate to The Story of the Beautiful, a web resource being developed by the Freer and Wayne State University that will situate Freer and his circle within a cosmopolitan dialogue with European and Asian interpretive communities. Other presenters include:

Linda Merrill, Emory University
Capturing Aestheticism through Photography: Caffin, Coburn, and Freer

Susan Key, Keeping Score/San Francisco Symphony
Sympathetic Vibrations: Musical Resonances of Surface Beauty

Eunyoung Cho, Wonkwang University
Crossing Boundaries for the Beautiful: Asia and America at the Turn of the Century

Registration is free, but required

Translation in Korean and Japanese available.

Discussion with the online audience will follow.

This event is being organized by the Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery of Art/Arthur M. Sackler Gallery with a generous grant from the Terra Foundation for American Art and is free and open to the public.

 

Artist Robin Maria Pedrero presents works of art that infuse color and design to illustrate the timelessness of nature and love. Using opaque and transparent painted layers and selective ink drawn contours she shows how thoughts triggered by senses can take us on a visual journey connecting present perceptions, past experiences and future musings. A “Meet the Artist” wine/cheese/jazz reception will be May, 13, 2010 6 to 8 pm. Admission is free.

The juried artists and youth artists, our schools and students, and the neighborhood all gain in this partnership. I am really proud of this Saint Paul Public Schools Community Education event. Art at Highland is a great way for so many parts of our community to interact. Community Ed’s partnership with Artists’ Circle, a local educational advocacy group for fine crafts, makes this a highly successful community event.”

You are invited Thursday, March 4th for an opening and book signing with Judith Fox. We are excited to exhibit two bodies of work by Fox: “I Still Do: Loving and Living with Alzheimer’s”, a powerful, poetic and universal portrayal of aging, loving, humor, mortality and hope, also the subject of a touching photographic memoir published by powerHouse. We also present, “Sea of Dreams”, an abstract depiction of haunting beauty that explores the powerful turbulence beneath the surface calm of the ocean. Seen together, these images offer both direct and metaphoric representation of deep emotion and the resilience of the human spirit. Ms. Fox will be present and signing her new book. Books available for purchase at the gallery.

WHEN: Thursday, March 4th, 2010

TIME: 5:00 to 7:30 pm

WHERE: FiftyCrows Gallery

I Still Do: Loving and Living with Alzheimer’s

In I STILL DO, Fox enters her husband’s world with her camera as a way of celebrating, honoring, loving and remembering Ed as he leaves the conscious world. Fox started this series when Ed was in his middle 70’s — to her, still a vigorous, handsome and sensuous man; also a man who has Alzheimer’s Disease.  In photographing Ed, Fox was challenged by a desire to preserve and protect their privacy while still exposing elements of the disease to public view in order to help destigmatize Alzheimer’s Disease.

Sea of Dreams

The metaphorical images in SEA OF DREAMS explore the tension between the painterly romance of the Ocean’s surface and the turmoil beneath. The dynamic and powerful shifts of water, wind, sand and light are captured from a single distant and elevated vantage point-they go to where the wind pushes and the moon pulls, marine life is transported, the universe is heated, and coastlines are rearranged.  The photographs reveal depths we may find uncomfortable. There are no horizons, no people, and no crashing waves; we’re not quite grounded. Although the ocean’s currents follow specific patterns, each instant is unique; each movement is eternal and momentary.

Judith Fox

Fox is a photographer, writer and a retired CEO. Fox started exhibiting her fine art photography in 2002 and her award-winning photographs have been in solo and group shows in Manhattan, Los Angeles and major cities in Virginia. Her photographs are in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) and the Harry Ransom Center, as well as private and corporate collections throughout the United States and Europe.

Her book, I Still Do … Loving and Living With Alzheimer’s was published by powerHouse Books and released in October, 2009.
