William Mortensen at Buckland Museum

October 11, 2019

Mort3

William Mortensen’s manipulated photographs are on exhibit at the Buckland Museum in Cleveland. The exhibition, titled “Witches” is just in time for Halloween. Mortensen began his career as a glamor and film still photographer in the 1920s. He soon turned to darker themes influenced by horror films. But it was his pictorialist compositing techniques that caused the photography-purist Ansel Adams to call him the Anti-christ.

The exhibition and venue are featured on WCPN Ideastream. The Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magick was founded in New York in 1966 and relocated to Cleveland in 2015. More about William Mortensen here. More details about the exhibition here.

On view through September 22, 2019
Cleveland Museum of Art
Mark Schwartz and Bettina Katz Photography Gallery

As part of Cuyahoga50, a citywide commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the last Cuyahoga River fire and celebration of the progress made since toward clean water for all, the Cleveland Museum of Art will present two exhibitions that highlight the impact of human behavior on the environment. Featuring the work of renowned contemporary artist Edward Burtynsky (Canadian, b. 1955), Water: Edward Burtynsky draws attention to current threats to clean, sustainable water and encourages visitors to reflect on individual actions that can impact the future of our planet.

Burtynsky’s global portrait explores humanity’s increasingly stressed relationship with water, the world’s most vital natural resource. Thirteen monumental color photographs survey locales from the Gulf of Mexico to the shore of the Ganges. Offering both aesthetic abstraction and concrete data, these hauntingly beautiful images encourage us to ponder whether current water-management strategies are among humankind’s great achievements or its most dangerous failures.

CSU photo student, Nico Pico Train has a new photography exhibition at Art on Madison in Lakewood. Her show, “Uncensored: Liquid Sex Series” has been getting some buzz in local media, including write ups in Cleveland Scene and Collective Art Network (CAN) Journal. The exhibit is, well uncensored.

According to the articles,  the work “ingeniously poses more questions than answers about sex, ” and that “formally, the photographs are stunning.”  The work “forces us to grapple with the realness of sexuality, as well as its humorous side. This is not cheap boudoir photography.  [the work] manages to balance her take on erotic art in a yin-yang way.”
