10 April 2018: 10×10 partnered with Magnum Foundation for a salon with photographers and photobook-makers Carolyn Drake and Arthur Tress (in discussion with Tim Soter.)
While living in Istanbul, Carolyn Drake spent a decade making photo-based work abroad, producing three acclaimed, self-published photobooks: Two Rivers (2013), Wild Pigeon (2014), and Internat (2017). An exhibition of Wild Pigeon is currently on view at SFMOMA, and an Internat exhibition will open at the Houston Center for Photography in May. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, a Fulbright fellowship and the Anamorphosis Prize, among other awards. Drake lives in Vallejo, California, and is an associate with the Magnum Photos agency.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, photographer Arthur Tress now resides in San Francisco. Well-known for his staged surrealism and exposition of the human body, his photographs are included in numerous museum collections, including Museum of Modern Art (NY), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Whitney Museum of American Art. More than fifteen monographs and retrospective catalogues have been published of his work, as well as thirty-six self-published photobooks. (Brooklyn-based photographer, Tim Soter, will moderate Tress’ presentation. Soter has self-published TIM! GO AWAY!, a biography of his obsession with photographer Duane Michals. Soter’s upcoming book is ForTress, a photo-biography about his correspondence and friendship with Arthur Tress.)
Thank you Magnum Foundation for sharing your space with 10×10!
