- W253707938 abstract "Society for Photographic Education 38th Annual Conference Savannah, Georgia February 15-18, 2001 This year's national Society for Photographic Education (SPE) conference demonstrated the medium's continuing ability to integrate technological advances into teaching and practice. Although the conference had no specified theme, presentations and portfolios, for example, were bursting with digital productions. Adobe presented a session on their updates to Photoshop 6.0 (where t-shirts were given away, seemingly the most exciting event of the conference from the tittering in the hallways afterward) and Epson was a major sponsor. The conference, which was hosted by the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), whose faculty, students, campus and affiliated galleries were an integral part of the activities, began with a keynote address by photographer Gregory Crewdson. Crewdson spoke of his irrational need to construct a perfect world and picture, saying, all have internal stories we are trying to project onto external reality. his work there is an emphasis on aesthetic beauty with an underlying tension of something amiss, all executed with an obsessive attention to detail. his diorama-based work, instead of making the miniature real, he seeks to make the real fictional, saying that he is not interested in highlighting the artifice of his work, but rather considers himself a realist. His recent work, made in Leigh, Massachusetts with the assistance of local residents, looks cinematic and his artistic process has indeed become as involved as filmmaking--employing painstaking set construction, the use of a director, cran es and theatrical lighting. Replacing the lush beauty of earlier work is the voyeuristic quality of the Hover series, shot from an elevated viewpoint, the viewer is placed above Crewdson's staged happenings. He admits that he is comfortable saying they are interventions in a sense. Crewdson's work is replete with dichotomous tensions. As he explains, his work is a place where possibility and impossibility collide ... order meets up with mystery. He also showed video clips from the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977, by Steven Speilberg), finding a metaphor for artmaking in Richard Dreyfuss's extra-terrestrially inspired mound-building character, saying that artists are compelled to find meaning in the outside world. The body of the conference was composed of 19 imagemaker presentations, 18 lectures/presentations by individuals, 6 panel presentations, 6 screenings and 10 graduate student presentations. The 59 such events scheduled reflected a nearly 50% increase in the number of presentations from last year's conference. As a result, many were held in small rooms that quickly filled to capacity, forcing many to attend other presentations or to skip sessions entirely. While this was frustrating, it often led to wonderful surprises. Jan Peterson Roddy's In the Bones was one of those gems. Roddy was raised in the Ozark Mountains and her images reflect the mystery, oddity and beauty of that locale. Her slide presentation was more of a performance, her words as unsettling and seductive as the images. Roddy's visual and audio recollections possessed a softness of manner despite the harshness of the lives she depicts. Roddy stated that matters of the spirit have always been present in her work. Several other Individual imagemakers held equal appeal. The title alone of Mark Sawrie's presentation--The Socio-Political-Sexual-Surrealism of an Intellectual Redneck: And All Semen Between--not surprisingly drew a crowd that filled the small room half an hour before show time. Sawrie's content and choice of media vary greatly--from semen prints to sculpture commenting on what Americans worship to animal rights collages to his most recent sexually charged digital work--and address his multiple representations of self. …" @default.
