Salon #33 – Catalina De la Cruz and Liz Sales

18 September 2018: 10×10 hosted a salon with Catalina de la Cruz and Liz Sales at the Center for Book Arts.

Catalina De la Cruz, born and resides in Santiago de Chile, uses photographic processes of the 19th century and digital photography to create unique, handmade (edition of one) “photo-chemical” photobooks. She addresses themes of territory, intervention, and occupation – and will present three of her books this evening. De la Cruz’s work has been exhibited internationally – and she has had residencies at Center of the Image (Lima) and International Photography Festival of Valparaíso.

Liz Sales is a photo-based artist, art-writer, and educator. She was an editor at Conveyor magazine and writes for Foam Magazine. She is a faculty member at ICP, CUNY, and University of Connecticut. As part of her personal art practice, Sales lives and works in a functional camera obscura in Brooklyn. She will read from her new book, I Write Artist Statements, a collection of satirical artist statements about fictionalized artists and imaginary art projects, that lovingly poke fun at “art speak.”

As always, books were available for purchase and viewing.
A big thank you to Corina Reynolds and Emilie Ahern at the Center for Book Arts.
