A Show For Larry
A couple of days ago, Carmen Winant emailed me about a collective show in memory of Larry Sultan. I suggested making the call public, and the California College of the Arts agreed to it. Find the call for submissions below. This is a great opportunity to honour a photographer who will be sorely missed.
The Photography Program here at the California College of the Arts is hosting a pin-up show in honor of our colleague, mentor, and dear friend Larry Sultan, and you are invited to participate. Larry passed away at his home on December 13th after a brief struggle with cancer. Larry’s influence and importance as a teacher and artist is monumental, he is deeply missed. Please see this link for more information on his career and passing.
This show is a way for us to mark his passing and his enormous contributions and come together as a community. It is somewhat informal and open to all participants, so please feel free to forward this information. You can contribute an image, an object, a letter, text, really anything you believe honors Larry as a person, artist, and teacher. The show will be an evolving installation in the Oliver Art Center on the Oakland campus from January 11-17th, 2010. We will of course be documenting the show as it comes together.
Here are the three ways you can contribute:
1. Mail something that will arrive by Wednesday January 14th at the latest, sooner is better.
If you want your contribution returned to you please provide a SASE. Please include your name and an email address and/or phone number with your submission.
