SUMMARY:Sustainable Westport Presents: Plastic People Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that every molecule of plastic ever created still exists somewhere on Earth? Plastic never goes away; it just degrades from big to small to microscopic particles… forever. These microplastic particles drift in the air\, float in all bodies of water\, and mix into the soil\, becoming a permanent part of the environment. Microplastics are found in our human bodies\, leading us to wonder about the impact of these invisible invaders on our health and if anything can be done. \nPlease join Sustainable Westport at MoCA\CT on Thursday\, July 17 at 6pm for a special screening of the film Plastic People: The Hidden Crisis of Microplastics. This groundbreaking documentary investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health and the environment. This film is part of Sustainable Westport’s ongoing efforts to reduce plastic use in our community during Plastic Free July (and all year round!).  \n\nWhile the film is recommended for ages 13+\, families are welcome to attend with children ages 4-12 who can participate in a drop-in art studio class during the screening.

SUMMARY:Cyanotypes: Making Art with Sunlight-Garden Workshop for Teens
DESCRIPTION:July 17\, 3-5 PM \nEnjoy a day in the sun making cyanotype impressions\, and getting hands-on exposure to early photographic printing processes. Cyanotypes were invented in 1842\, preceding roll film by several decades. Cyanotypes were an early way to visualize our natural world\, and learn the structure of plant biology. Get into the mindset of the first photo book publisher in the history of the world—botanist Anna Atkins—by exploring this method of contact printing. During this workshop\, students will understand the concept of a photographic negative\, discover the history of making and printing images\, and learn about the medium’s groundbreaking contribution to both science and expressive art. \nStudents should bring several of their own objects to class\, such as shiny materials\,\nsemi-transparent materials\, crafting materials\, uniquely-shaped objects\, and/or organic\nnontoxic plant matter such as leaves or flowers. DO NOT BRING: Precious or valuable\nitems exceeding $5 in case of loss\, any sharp objects that may cause injury\, or any\nflammable or toxic material. \n$30 Workshop Fee; MoCA Members receive 10% off \nRegister Here. \nAbout The Instructor:\nShelli Weiler is an image-based artist from New York who uses digital and analog cameras to explore social conventions and the mechanics of display. Her work deploys the language of documentary photography to look at the production of fantasy and its failure. Her previous subjects include made-for-Instagram selfie factories\, gender-segregated ultra-orthodox weddings\, and behind-the-scenes footage on horror film sets. \nShelli Weiler received her MFA from Yale School of Art and BA from Wesleyan University\, where she currently teaches darkroom and digital photography. She is based in Connecticut and continues to make work in New York.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception of Tod Papageorge: At the Beach + In the Pool: On Influence
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 26\n6 – 8 PM\nRSVP Here. \nMoCA CT will be presenting a major photography exhibition\, Tod Papageorge: At the Beach\, alongside works by Papageorge’s former graduate students\, In the Pool. The companion exhibitions were organized by the photographer Lisa Kereszi\, and showcase the work of Tod Papageorge (b. 1940)\, a Connecticut – based\, internationally – acclaimed artist and teacher whose contributions to American street photography in the 1960s helped shape the genre. His work is held in more than thirty prominent public collections\, including the Museums of Modern Art in New York and San Francisco. \nAt the Beach\, making its East Coast debut at MoCA CT\, will feature work in the form of large – scale black and white photographs that Papageorge produced with medium – format cameras during several trips to the beaches of Los Angeles in the 1970s and 1980s. As he has written about this project: “I think that part of what these pictures are about is the difference between our preconceptions of a place and what\, when we get there\, that place turns out to be. To describe a subject and\, at the same time\, reinvent it\, is a double intention on the part of the photographer that we should be used to by now when we look at photographs. With these pictures\, I worked with the belief that the closer I came to describing the literal nature of the place and people I was photographing\, the more surprising the pictures might be\, all while transforming the casual\, unselfconscious physicality of these beachgoers into resonant form and meaning.” \nThe title of the adjacent exhibition\, In the Pool\, refers to the nickname for the classroom Papageorge taught in for the last third of his teaching career\, a renovated swimming pool within the School of Art building. As a professor and the Director of Graduate Studies in Photography at the Yale School of Art from 1979 – 2013\, Papageorge mentored many future influential photographers and art educators\, with 41 of his students going on to receive Guggenheim Fellowships\, a significant marker of achievement in the art and photography world. This part of the exhibition commemorates that fact by exhibiting a single print from each of those Guggenheim Fellows\, as well as presenting work through a looping slide show of virtually all 295 of Papageorge’s former MFA students. It’s also worth noting that the work composing In the Pool was made while the photographers were students in the Yale program\, years before being selected (by each one of them) for a portfolio created in honor of Papageorge’s retirement as director of the program. These nearly 300 pictures\, then\, serve to offer some insight into the nature of influence and mentorship in the arts\, and to suggest the power of the ongoing moment that is the still – developing history of photography.
