Mapping the Magazines of Photography

I presented a tour of the 3rd Space at the recent conference of the Society of Photographic Education at the Photographic Resource center in Boston. It was actally a double tour of the show Found, Shared: The Magazine as PhotoWork curated by David Brittain and the VSW Research Center. My presentation gives background and contemplated the contingencies that operate in the "archive/trash" aesthetic of the Found, Shared exhibition. They point to three connecting factors: 1) the capriciousness of small things; 2) the play and instability of archival categories; and the uncertainty (chaos) of very large numbers. Working with David, I hope we can get the show to the North America soon. See: Found, Shared at CUBE gallery, Manchester; Ohio; Found
