Please log in to YouTube and comment or rate.  You can see many of CultureInside's artists form the show.  My art starts at 2:32 or so.

I also loved that fact that they used a favorite song of mine “Tonto” by Battles as the background music. I had nothing to do with this choice, but great minds must think alike :) . I blogged about battles on my homepage blog back in Nov 2007. http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/music/battles-coming-to-portland-2-nov/

Brad Carlile had 2 images at Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro in 2008  

I missed this when the show was up, but one of my collectors, Joachim Paiva, had some of his collection on show at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro in 2008.  They showed two images from my "Passage Perceptions" series.

Fernando Rabelo in his blog "Images&Visions" the entry "Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro shows the work of foreign photographers" wrote:

Monday, September 22, 2008

The Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro exhibition called "Photos Foreign" shows 43 photos of the international diplomat and collector Joaquim Paiva, selected by the curator of the museum, Reynaldo Roels Jr.

Paiva's collection is one of the greatest of modern photography and contemporary Brazilian as well as international. He has been Brazilian collection of about 1,090 works, which he has been showing since 2005.

The exhibition "Foreign Photographs" presents works by Alberto Korda, Anderson Wrangler, Annemarie Heinrich, Ansel Adams, Brad Carlile, Carlos and Miguel Vargas, David Julian Leonard, Diane Arbus, Dominic Rouse, Flor Garduño, Frank Rothe, Georg Hornung, Martin Chamba, Sara Terry, Sergei Leontiev, Vadim Gushin, and Vincent Delbrouck.

The show ran from 29-August until 12-October, 2008.  This made it my first international museum show, and very nice to be with such great work.

Brad Carlile Winner in Prestigious Hearst Photography Biennial  

Hearst 8x10 Photography BiennialI'm honored very excited to be one of the eight winners of the Hearst Photography Biennial (www.hearst8x10.com). The Hearst 8x10 Photography Biennial recognizes 8 winners and features their work in Manhattan's Hearst Tower (West 57th Street, New York) at Alexey Brodovitch Gallery and the Hearst Gallery. Hearst will publish a print & digital catalogue.

From my press release: Brad Carlile's series that was chosen for the Biennial is called “Tempus Incognitus.” This series explores a mysterious world of rented rooms in which the day's liminal times exist concurrently. Breathtaking in their tonality and vibrant colors, Carlile's series "Tempus Incongitus" explores the realities of impermanence in light, color and the passage of time. Where Cubists' landscapes show several perspectives at a single moment in time, Carlile's interiors show various times from a single perspective. All work is done in camera without digital creation or manipulation. Creating the images in camera on film allows Carlile to capture the energy of change while maintaining a mystifying grounding in reality.

There are ten distinguished judges for the biennial, half of which include leading photographers and museum curators, that selected the eight award recipients from more than 1,000 entries from photographers in 47 different countries. The judges are:

  • John A. Bennette, III, curator/writer;
  • Judith Bookbinder, VP, creative communications, Hearst Magazines;
  • David Granger; editor-in-chief, Esquire;
  • Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, photographer;
  • Virginia Heckert, associate curator of photographs, J. Paul Getty Museum;
  • Debra Shriver, VP/chief communications officer & SVP/Magazines, Hearst Corporation
  • Peter Lindbergh, photographer;
  • Mary Ellen Mark, photographer;
  • Steve McCurry, photographer; and
  • Charles Stainback, curator of photography, Norton Museum of Art.
The eight biennial winners are: Brad Carlile, Andy Freeberg, Mark Kessell, Edith Maybin, Louie Palu, Benedikt Partenheimer, Nicholas Prior, and Hiroshi Watanabe.

In the Hearst biennial press release they say:

“We were impressed by the work of all of these artists, and selecting the winning entries was not an easy task,” said photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. “I was amazed and excited to see the energy of these promising photographers, each one with an original point of view. I believe their images will be shaping the way we see things in the years to come.”
“For professional photographers just starting out, a competition like this is the opportunity of a lifetime,” said photographer Mary Ellen Mark. “It is a chance to have your work seen by curators, editors and creative directors—people who can really help shape your career.”

PhotoMedia magazine covers Carlile's show at Galerie Maurer in downtown Munich  

PhotoMedia (Summer '08) covered my Munich Solo show as the lead story in their 'People' section. In the US they have a circulation of 40,000.

This turned out to be a great show!  Many thanks to Wolfgang Maurer, owner/curator of Galerie Maurer.

I sold half of my show of eighteen 30"x40" (75x100cm) images that were in the show.  Due to a collector's request, I'm now offering larger images 40x64" (100x160cm) within the edition of 15.

You can see images and information from this show in my CULTUREINSIDE blog postings:

Show "Shelter" in Portland Oregon, USA  

I'm party of a group show group show called "Shelter" at 23 Sandy in Portland Oregon USA.

The online catalog for the show is at: http://www.23sandy.com/Shelter/-Intro.html

23 Sandy Gallery is pleased to present Shelter: A National Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Photography. Shelter explores architecture, habitat and sanctuary. It is one of our most basic human needs—at once both physical and psychological. We derive great pride from the shelter we build. We seek shelter from the elements, from the storm, from harm. Photographers were challenged to explore how shelter can be interpreted visually given its myriad manifestations.

Architecture, habitat, sanctuary. Shelter is one of our most basic human needs—at once both physical and psychological. We derive great pride from the shelter we build. We sough shelter from the elements, from the storm, from harm. How can shelter be interpreted visually given its myriad manifestations?
