Lonnie Graham, a Pew Fellow and Associate Professor at Pennsylvania State University is formerly director of Photography at Manchester Craftsmen's Guild in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There, Graham developed innovative pilot projects merging Arts and Academics, which were ultimately cited by, First Lady Hillary Clinton as a National Model for Arts Education.
In 1996 Graham was commissioned to create the African/American Garden Project. which provided a physical and cultural exchange of urban single mothers in Pittsburgh, and farmers from Muguga, Kenya, to build a series of urban subsistence gardens.
In 2005, Professor Graham was cited as Artist of the Year in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and presented the Governor's Award by Governor Edward Rendell. Professor Graham served as a panel member for the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington, DC.
He is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts/Pew Charitable Trust Travel Grant for travel to Ghana and is a four time Pennsylvania Council for the Arts Fellowship recipient. Graham was also awarded the Creative Achievement Award by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.
The catalogue accompanying the exhibition A Conversation with the World, has been widely distributed by Light Work in Syracuse, New York. The Queens Museum in New York commissioned Graham to produce another international garden project as part of Down the Garden Path presented in 2005.
Graham has exhibited at Goethe Institute, Accra Ghana; a full scale reproduction of one of the educational galleries in the Barnes Foundation was shown at La Maison de Etat-Unis, Paris, France, the Toyota City Museum in Aichi, Japan as well as a room sized installation at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. Graham's work is collected by the Addison Gallery for American Art in Andover, MA and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, in Philadelphia, PA

Interview with Jim Canary - On the Road Text, IMA
Interview with Jim Canary
Jim Canary, conservator of the On the Road scroll gives an interview on preserving this masterpiece, reading The Beats and being friends with Jim Irsay.
The IMA will reunite two of the iconic members of the American anti-establishment Beat Generation of the 1950s, novelist Jack Kerouac and photographer Robert Frank. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the 120-foot-long original typescript for Kerouac's 1957 cross-country odyssey, On the Road, owned by Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay. The manuscript, 84 feet of which will be on display, will be accompanied by 83 photographs taken by Robert Frank during his own two-year cross-country pilgrimage and published first in Europe in 1958 as Les Americains. The IMA will borrow the almost singular complete set of Frank's photographs owned by the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts.

Kahn Selesnick : Truppe Fledermaus and the Carnival at the End of the World
March 14, 2013 - May 4, 2013 Denver , Colorado.
Robischon Gallery is proud to feature its third solo exhibition for acclaimed New York/British collaborative duo Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick. With their latest series Truppe Fledermaus & the Carnival at the End of the World, the artists' highly imaginative, multi-medium series utilizes large and small scale photography, painting, drawing, prints and sculptures -- all in service of their startlingly original visual narratives. Together since the 1980s, Kahn + Selesnick have invented inexplicable, yet visually invigorating historiographies -- adventures in which there is no division between fact and fiction. As in their previous works seen at Robischon Gallery, such as the Apollo Prophecies -- a story which merged the American space program of the 1960s with the Edwardian era and Eisbergfreistadt where a mammoth iceberg in 1923 Germany causes hyperinflation; Kahn + Selesnick's newest series compellingly maintains the same preposterous incongruity while weaving past characters and locations into its mix.
Inspired by Italian philosopher Giulo Camillo's 1550 Memory Theater, Truppe Fledermaus tells the visual tale of a chimerical cabaret troupe traversing the outskirts of imaginary and recognizable towns where their inscrutable performances play repeatedly for no one. Dressed as bats, greenmen and death dancers, Kahn + Selesnick's characters only preform for the resident animals and themselves. As a metaphor for contemporary society's on-going disengagement from the larger world while being bombarded with massive quantities of cultural information, Truppe Fledermaus similarly travels on, prolifically advertising its performances for plays never seen. A cast of characters led by Truppe founders, Orlofsky and Falke, along with Madame Lulu, the Plague Doctor, the Green Wanderer and 1970s British television character Reginald Perrin share the series storyline with Birdmen as messengers and the endangered Bat as the shaman. The bat represents both nature and humanity as it struggles to see itself as inextricably linked in order to change its course before their disastrous fate of extinction is sealed.
In Truppe Fledermaus, as in past series, Kahn + Selesnick's playful, yet portentous mix of characters, time periods and genres purposefully blur lines and allow for suspension of disbelief while creatively illuminating societal shortcomings. Through their signature cinematic approach, the artists present the engaged viewer with seemingly inexhaustible imagery and its potential for metaphor; a manner of experience not unlike the modern world.
Kahn & Selesnick held artist residencies at Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, Massachusetts; the Djerrasi Artist Program, Woodside, California; and Toni Morrison's Atelier Program at Princeton University, New Jersey. Their work has been shown in more than eighty solo exhibitions throughout the United States and Belgium and in group exhibitions in China, France, Germany, Monaco, and Norway. Among the exhibiting museums are: Brooklyn Museum of Art, Smithsonian Institution, Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Photography and Field Museum, Overbeck-Gesellschaft (Lübeck, Germany), and Cape Cod Museum of Art.
Their work can be found in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Boston Public Library, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Fogg Museum of Art, National Portrait Gallery, and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Denny Moers (Part 2)
Denny Moers is known for his highly imaginative, technically innovative photographic monoprints of New England architecture, medieval wall frescoes, ancient Egyptian tomb reliefs, contemporary construction sites and, western desertscapes. He creates his images by controlling the action of light on the chemicals in sensitized photographic paper during the print developing process. His black and white pictures thus exhibit an extraordinary range of colors. He has received the Fellowship in Photography Award from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts three times. His photographs are in numerous public and private collections, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts; the Baltimore Museum of Art; the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem; and the Museo Rufino Tamayo in Mexico City. He received his B.A. from Empire State College, (SUNY NY) in 1975 and an M.F.A. from the Visual Studies Work- shop in 1977. During the early eighties, he worked as Aaron Siskind's first assistant in Providence, Rhode Island.
Eadweard Muybridge
Eadweard James Muybridge (/ˌɛdwərd ˈmaɪbrɪdʒ/; 9 April 1830 – 8 May 1904, birth name Edward James Muggeridge) was an English photographer important for his pioneering work in photographic studies of motion, and early work in motion-picture projection. He adopted the name Eadweard Muybridge, believing it to be the original Anglo-Saxon form of his name.
He emigrated to the United States as a young man and became a bookseller. He returned to England in 1861 and took up professional photography, learning the wet-plate collodion process, and secured at least two British patents for his inventions. He went back to San Francisco in 1867, and in 1868 his large photographs of Yosemite Valley made him world famous. Today, Muybridge is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion in 1877 and 1878, which used multiple cameras to capture motion in stop-motion photographs, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip used in cinematography.
