...the camera was applied to extend my vision. It recorded
what was going on when I was in deep sleep and
visual sensation was closed. The camera lens was set up
to focus on the surroundings such as ceilings, walls, and
corners of my room. The shutter of camera would take
pictures when I was not awake. When my perception
was limited and cut off from the usual, the camera
started to see, to reveal the world I never saw. -WHC

In conjunction with the show,
Shadows and Traces: The Photography of John Reuter, we are pleased to host artist John Reuter and curator Barbara Hitchcock in conversation about the exhibition, Reuter's career, and the long artistic/curatorial partnership between Reuter and Hitchcock.
Hitchcock states: "
Shadows and Traces: The Photography of John Reuter celebrates the artist's innovative exploration of film technology, photography and painting coupled with his imaginative reinterpretation of people, places and things that have populated
the real world. Reuter reinvents the past, stimulates our imagination, and encourages us to enjoy this flight into a familiar, yet somewhat unconventional, alternative universe."

In a similar way, we will workshop key documents that are part of a complete marketing package: your well-written artist statement, bio and resume.
Personal websites, social media, supplemental support materials and networking, are reviewed. We will discuss approaches and opportunities for marketing your work. Extensive resource lists are provided.

You can expect to devote 3-4 hours per week on assignments that are designed to assure that you have a ready-to-use marketing package by the completion of this class.

John Reuter was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1953. Raised in California until high school, he moved to New York and attended college in upstate New York at SUNY Geneseo. It was there that he began to study photography and art. He studied with photographer Michael Teres and painter and art historian Rosemary Teres. Together they inspired his early work, which took advantage of photographic process to transform the camera's reality into a more "mythic" reality. Reuter continued this work in graduate school at the University of Iowa in the late seventies. It was here that he began his SX-70 collages, which still inform his work today...
See more here.
"John Reuter is an artist. He makes photographs and videos, draws and paints, and yet he is perhaps most well-known as the individual behind the hands-on magic of the giant Polaroid 20x24 camera; a person who sets aside his own aesthetic and artistic practice in order to help his fellow artists realize on film what each envisions in his or her imagination. His creativity, technical abilities and generous spirit are gifts that he shares to insure their success."

"Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes....Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an exploration into unknown areas."

The towers were originally built in 1804-1805 to defend
against a Napoleonic invasion by sea. Napoleon never
came.... and the towers did in fact deter what seemed to be the inevitable. The Martello Towers were built closely together so as to function as signal towers. When standing at one
you will surely see at least one other. In Dublin you
will see one to the left and one to the right. There are more
in other countries too, but Ireland is the filter through
which I chose to document the towers. -TO
