 "LOOK
AND LEAVE:
New Orleans in the Wake of Katrina"
Photographs
by Jane Fulton Alt
January 16 - March 12
DePaul University Art Museum, Chicago IL
As part of the recovery efforts following Hurricane Katrina,
New Orleans city officials allowed residents from the most devastated
areas to visit their homes briefly in order to assess damage. Jane
Fulton Alt, a Chicago photographer and social worker, spent two weeks
in New Orleans in November as a counselor through the program sponsored
by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, an agency
of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Alt provided
assistance and counsel to lower Ninth Ward residents returning to their
homes in the city's Look and Leave program. While careful not to intrude
on residents' privacy, Alt felt compelled to document the landscape of
devastation and loss the hurricane left behind. Personal items such
as a shoe, family photos or clothes hanging from a tree become poignant
reminders of the individual losses the people of the region have suffered.

BREAKING THE FRAME: Pioneering Women in Photojournalism
May 7 – September 24, 2006
THE
MUSEUM of PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS
* 1649 El Prado San Diego CA 92101 (619) 238 7559
More
than sixty years ago, a generation came of age under the yolk of the
Great Depression, the rise of fascism, and a world war. Some joined
the burgeoning field of the mass media that was just taking shape through
new and revolutionary technology. Literally at their fingertips was
a newer, faster means of communication through radio, talking pictures,
newsreels, the 35mm camera, and the large picture magazine. With unprecedented
speed, proximity, and realism, their images arrived in people's homes
igniting imaginations and shaping public opinion.
In the spring of 2006, the Museum of Photographic Arts is mounting a
museum-wide examination of the photographs, films, newsreels, and cameras
from the late 1920s to mid 1950s that -- not unlike our Internet age
-- changed the world.
The largest of these exhibitions celebrates the first women in photojournalism;
Breaking the Frame: Pioneering Women in Photojournalism includes
vintage photographs by Margaret Bourke-White, Esther Bubley, Thérése
Bonney, Hansel Mieth, and the British and Russian photographers, Grace
Robertson and Olga Lander, respectively. Rosie the Riveter had nothing
on these women, whose entrée into the mass media helped shape
our collective understanding of history then and now. Forging a point
of view and way of life through an unprecedented move out-of-the-home
and into a career that demanded courage, intelligence, and skill, their
achievements were revolutionary. Two exhibitions will accompany Breaking
the Frame. The first examines the actual 35mm cameras that came
into being in the mid-1920s; the second celebrates the first photographs
made with them by Erich Salomon, Robert Capa, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Martin
Munkacsi, and Tim Gidal.

May 14 – September 17, 2006
This exhibition examines thirty-five images by award-winning contemporary
photographers Stephanie Sinclair and Andrea Bruce from The Chicago
Tribune and The Washington Post respectively. Their work brings the
legacy of the earlier women photojournalists full circle. Sinclair and
Bruce capture on film not only active combat but domestic life in the
Middle East not accessible to their male counterparts.
