Summer Photography Workshop 2010

ST PAUL St is proud to announce that internationally renowned photographers Paul Graham (UK, 1956) and Rineke Dijkstra (NL, 1959) will lead the 2010 Summer Photography Workshop at ST PAUL St Gallery, AUT School of Art and Design.

Paul Graham explores the fertile territory where the documentary and artistic aspects of photography coalesce, often tackling difficult subject matter for a medium that is firmly based in the observable world. He has exhibited extensively including at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and PS1 in New York and the Tate Gallery in London as well as having work in the 49th Venice Biennale (2001).

Rineke Dijkstra works in series, concentrating on individual portraits. She focuses on people in a transitional stage of their life, such as women after giving birth in 'Mothers', adolescents and pre-adolescents on the beach in her 'Beach' series and new recruits in 'Israeli Soldiers'. Dijsktra's photographs have appeared in numerous international exhibitions, including the 1997 and 2001 Venice Biennale, the 1998 Bienal de Sao Paulo, Turin's Biennale Internationale di Fotografia in 1999, and the 2003 International Center for Photography's Triennial of Photography and Video in New York.

The 2010 Summer Photography Workshop continues the tradition of workshops at the ST PAUL St Gallery co-odinated by the gallery and Harvey Benge. Previous workshops have been led by Peter Bialobrzeski, Antoine d'Agata, Lewis Baltz, André Lützen, Slavica Perkovic, John Gossage and Alec Soth.

Dates:
January 15, 16, and 17, 2010.
