| Art: Old place, new faces - Minneapolis Star Tribune Posted: 18 Sep 2009 02:57 PM PDT "I chose the title 'New Pictures,' because the very definition of what a photograph is now is so different from what it was before Photoshop and new technologies," said Little, who joined the department a year ago this month. "Photography is no longer just linked to things that happened in reality, and the disconnect from the journalistic definition of photography is greater today." This show is the first of a semiannual series that Little is launching under the "New Pictures" title. It will showcase innovative photography by "emerging artists" from around the world. That doesn't necessarily mean young talents -- Furunishi is 43 -- but individuals who are not well known. "The idea is really to bring people to Minneapolis that no one has heard of but who are doing great work," said Little. Before joining the Minneapolis museum he worked at MOMA and the Whitney Museum, where he was director of education. Minneapolis offers more curatorial freedom than does Manhattan, he said. "I love the fact that we can take risks here," he said. "There is a kind of pressure in New York and you can, as a curator, get stuck in a place where you hedge your bets. There's no need to hedge your bets here." In picking artists for the series, he looks at magazines, checks online, goes to art fairs, talks to colleagues and photographers, gets recommendations. "I want to avoid the art world filter" as much as possible, he said. "I want to see everything myself as opposed to having someone tell me what they've seen. You always have to avoid the curatorial herd or the artists' herd, look in out-of-the-way places, and maintain the strength of your viewpoint. That can be challenging because everyone loves consensus, especially funders." The series will have a website that includes video clips of the artists, essays by Little and others and an interactive blog. The museum is also launching a new lecture series named after the late photographer Arnold Newman, whose foundation funded it. It begins with a talk by Paul Graham, an influential British-born photographer known especially for color images documenting the "troubles" in Northern Ireland. (6:30 p.m. Oct. 1, $5). |
