I have selected eight photographs for this year’s Faculty Spotlight Exhibition. Four from Italy, where I have spent the past three Julys teaching in Rome, and four from the New York State Fair up in Syracuse. Syracuse is my hometown and I have returned each year for the past thirty years to photograph the Fair.

I have been making paintings centered on the fluidly permeable boundaries of image and abstraction since moving to New York from California thirty years ago. I brought along a love of picture making, anecdote and color that were key elements of a Bay Area regionalism that shaped my work as a young painter. Over the subsequent years there has been a gradual movement towards a transcendent clarity of the incidental over the anecdotal in both image and in the paint itself. I still make abstract ensembles that function as figurative events and simultaneously occupy an equally non-literal yet compelling spatial and chromatic arena.

Yasujiro Ozu’s Tokyo Story (Tokyo Monogatari) follows an aging couple, Tomi and Sukichi, on their journey from their rural village to visit their two married children in bustling, postwar Tokyo. Their reception is disappointing: too busy to entertain them, their children send them off to a health spa. After Tomi falls ill she and Sukichi return home, while the children, grief-stricken, hasten to be with her. From a simple tale unfolds one of the greatest of all Japanese films. Starring Ozu regulars Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara, the film reprises one of the director’s favorite themes—that of generational conflict—in a way that is quintessentially Japanese and yet so universal in its appeal that it continues to resonate as one of cinema’s greatest masterpieces.
Please join the Fordham University Friends of Films for Photographers and the participants in the 2012-2013 Documentary Photography: Japan course for a screening of Yasujiro Ozu’s Tokyo Story.

“The first image he told me about was of three children on a road in Iceland, in 1965. He said that for him it was the image of happiness and also that he had tried several times to link it to other images, but it never worked. He wrote me: one day I’ll have to put it all alone at the beginning of a film with a long piece of black lead-in; if they don’t see happiness in the picture, at least they’ll see the black.”

Wim Wender’s 1989 film Notebook on Cities and Clothes! Wim Wenders talks with Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto about the creative process and ponders the relationship between cities, identity and the cinema in the digital age. Including, amongst other things, a lovely meditation on the cut of Jean-Paul Sartre’s lapels and August Sander’s photographs.
You will remember it forever, which says a tremendous amount.
See you there!

It is a well-known fact that there is no better way to end your
semester (or year) than by watching all 201 minutes of Chantal
Ackerman’s phenomenal 1975 film “Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce,
1080 Bruxelles.”
For a first time ever I will encourage attendees not to do any
research before the screening, as it will ruin your 201 minutes of
domestic bliss. All welcome. Wear comfy clothes. Popcorn and espresso
will be provided on demand. Short bathroom breaks are permitted,
though discouraged. Nappers will be shamed.
You will remember it forever, which says a tremendous amount.
See you there!
