-----Original Message----- From: Courtemanche, Jeanne Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2001 3:57 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: CCP: Curator Awarded Getty Fellowship for Winogrand Research News Release Contact: Jeanne Courtemanche 520-626-5215 (press inquiries) 520-621-7968 (public information) June 2001 CENTER FOR CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY CURATOR AWARDED GETTY CURATORIAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP Grant Provides Critical Support for Scholarly Research for Major Garry Winogrand Project This Fall (TUCSON, ARIZONA)--The Center for Creative Photography (CCP) at the University of Arizona is pleased to announce that Curator of Exhibitions & Collections Trudy Wilner Stack has received a prestigious 2001/2002 Curatorial Research Fellowship from the Getty Grant Program of the J. Paul Getty Trust. The Getty Grant Program established this award in 2000 to make short-term research or study projects possible for full-time curators. The Curatorial Research Fellowship addresses the museum field's critical need for the support of curatorial research and professional development. Wilner Stack is one of eight other Fellows selected from an international applicant pool of museum curators responsible for collections of art. Wilner Stack's fellowship will enable her to pursue scholarly research and expand archival resources and documentation related to the American photographer Garry Winogrand (1928-1984). This work will help prepare for a major two-part exhibition later this year at CCP and a subsequent publication. "The Garry Winogrand Game of Photography" will draw from CCP's massive Garry Winogrand Archive, including many unknown photographs, to reexamine one of photography's most obsessive and legendary image makers. "The Garry Winogrand Game of Photography, Part I: The Known" will be on view from October 6 through November 9, 2001. A three-day national symposium will take place November 8 to 11 with presentations by current scholars and critics studying Winogrand and guest curators from the second exhibition. During this weekend, the exhibition will change, and "The Garry Winogrand Game of Photography, Part II: The New" will be on view from November 11, 2001 through January 6, 2002. Wilner Stack was appointed to her position at the Center for Creative Photography in 1992 and has since further distinguished its exhibition, education and publication program with dozens of original projects devoted to the history of photography and contemporary art and ideas. This work has been recognized by grants from the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Arizona Commission on the Arts, The Lannan Foundation, and others. A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College with a Master's degree from Yale University in American Studies, Wilner Stack has served the field of photographic education nationally as a frequent lecturer and as a Board Member of the Society for Photographic Education (1996-2000), whose national conference she chaired in 1999. She is co-project director of Indivisible, a 2.4 million dollar social documentary initiative of The Pew Charitable Trusts and currently serves as an advisor to Fitzroy Dearborn's Encyclopedia of 20th-Century Photography. Under her direction, the CCP's collection of photography has grown significantly in both size and prominence in the last decade, representing many of the field's most important artists. The Getty Grant Program is a part of the J. Paul Getty Trust, an international cultural and philanthropic institution devoted to the visual arts located at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. The Grant Program provides crucial support for projects in art history, museum practice, conservation, and other related fields. Since its inception in 1984, the Grant Program has given more than $100 million to support over 2,500 projects in more than 150 countries. The Getty Trust also includes the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Research Institute, and the Getty Conservation Institute. The Center for Creative Photography (CCP) at the University of Arizona is an archive, museum, and research institution, dedicated to photography as an art form and cultural record, and is celebrating its 25th Anniversary in 2000 and 2001. CCP holds more archives and individual works by 20th-century North American photographers than any other museum in the nation, including the archives of over sixty major photographers--Ansel Adams, Richard Avedon, Lola Alvarez Bravo, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, W. Eugene Smith, and Edward Weston among them--whose prints are the centerpiece of an art collection numbering more than 60,000 works by 2,000 photographers. CCP has an integrated program of preservation, access, and education that celebrates the history of photography and its contemporary practice. Visitors enjoy a changing exhibition program, Research Center, educational programs, Library, Museum Store, and public access to the vast collection through the renowned PrintViewing program. http://www.creativephotography.org Press release on "The Garry Winogrand Game of Photography" http://dizzy.library.arizona.edu/branches/ccp/press/WinograndRelease.htm To be added or deleted from the CCP listserv, email [log in to unmask] Please forward this announcement to listervs that you manage. __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] Administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Kerri Scannell) at: [log in to unmask]
