Kasklezingen met Alex Webb & Rebecca Norris Webb: Selections: VOLZET

©Alex Webb

Niet dat de mannen van Sint Lukas Gent met hun Pecha Kucha geen goed werk doen, maar op net dezelfde dag presenteren de studenten foto van KASK een net iets sterker kaliber wat mij betreft: Alex Webb & Rebecca Norris Webb komen vertellen over hun werk, de dag ervoor gaven ze al een workshop aan de studenten foto.

Wie is dit koppel vraagt u? Alex Webb is Magnumfotograaf (en alleen al daarvoor mag u naar Gent hollen me dunkt.)

Ik neem het even integraal over:
Alex Webb, a member of Magnum Photos since 1976, has published seven books including Hot Light/Half Made Worlds; Under a Grudging Sun; Crossings: Photographs from the U.S. Mexican Border; and Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names, his most recent book. He has worked for many of the major publications including National Geographic, Life, New York Times Magazine, GEO, and is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, a Hasselblad Foundation Grant, and the Leica Medal of Excellence. Webb’s work has been exhibited widely in the U.S. and Europe in museums such as the International Center of Photography, the High Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego.

Rebecca Norris Webb, originally a poet and journalist, had her first NYC solo exhibition at Ricco Maresca Gallery in 2006, the same year her first book, The Glass Between Us, was published. Her series, which uses text and images to explore the complicated relationship between people and animals in cities, has also been included in several group exhibitions, including "Why Look at Animals?" at the George Eastman House. Her project was awarded sponsorship by the Blue Earth Alliance. Currently, she's working on a series of photographs in the American West called, "My Dakota,” and a joint book with her husband and creative partner, Alex Webb, called “Violet Isle: A Duet of Photographs from Cuba.” Rebecca edited Alex's two most recent books (Crossings and Istanbul) and teaches photography workshops with him around the world.
