ICP Announces Lineup and Events for Photoville

The International Center of Photography (ICP) is excited to announce its lineup of events for Photoville, which will take place in Brooklyn Bridge Park from September 18–28, 2014. ICP has been a programmatic partner of Photoville since the founding of the festival and will expand on its presence this year with an installation as well as two workshops led by faculty from the ICP School.

Installation

CALL + RESPONSE + RESPONSE is an immersive exhibition demonstrating how photography operates as a conversational tool that initiates engagement and triggers discourse. It was organized and features work by the 2015 candidates from the ICP-Bard Master in Fine Arts Program. The participating artists include: Esther Boesche, Stephanie Colgan, Joseph Desler Costa, Anna Ekros, Connor McNicholas, Marie Louise Omme, Kathleen Shannon, Marisa Sottos, Daniel Terna, Jessica Thalmann, Beau Torres, Kimberly Wade, and Tracie Williams. These 13 artists, along with project advisor Marvin Heiferman, collaborated over the summer. As they explained: “We corresponded via artwork we created in an advanced scheme of ‘call and response.’ We initiated this visual dialogue with our unique interpretations of the number 13. Through the exchange of imagery and ideas, we conceptually propelled the conversation to unknown destinations. This exhibition is the sum of our interactions.” 

Workshops

How to Make a Camera Out of Anything!
Instructor: Liz Sales
Saturday, September 20, 12–1:30 pm
This workshop takes a quick look at the history, theory, and practice of pinhole photography with an emphasis on the technical relationship between camera-making and image formation. Each participant will leave with a camera (made from one of several objects provided), an image made by that camera, and an understanding of how to make a camera out of anything at all. 

Developing Your Composition Skills
Instructor: Anja Hitzenberger
Sunday, September 21, 6–7:30 pm
This workshop is for photographers who want to refine and develop their composition skills. With an emphasis on urban environments, students learn to see photographically and develop a heightened sensitivity to different surroundings. Discussion will cover lines, movement, light, shadow, colors—and possibly people—in the environment.
