MARK POWER — ATHENS, 31 OCT – 03 NOV ‘19

A 4-DAY WORKSHOP IN ATHENS WITH MARK POWER + ASX & VOID’S TEAM

MARK POWER
Mark Power (b. Harpenden, UK, 1959) took up a camera soon after graduating with a degree in painting in 1981. He then worked in the editorial and charity markets for nearly ten years before accepting a teaching post at the University of Brighton in 1992, first as a senior Lecturer, then as the Professor of Photography, a position he held until he left teaching in 2017. His work in education coincided with a shift towards long-term, self initiated projects which now sit comfortably alongside a number of large-scale commissions in the industrial sector.

For many years his work has been seen in numerous galleries and museums across the world, and is in several important collections, both public and private, including the Arts Council of England, the British Council, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; the Pompidou Centre in Paris; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Pier 24 (San Francisco) and the Milwaukee Art Museum in America, and the Marrakech Museum of Photography and Visual Art in Morocco.

To date Power has published eleven books: The Shipping Forecast (1996), a poetic response to the esoteric language of daily maritime weather reports; Superstructure (2000), a documentation of the construction of London’s Millennium Dome; The Treasury Project (2002), about the restoration of a nineteenth-century historical monument: 26 Different Endings (2007), which depicts those landscapes unlucky enough to fall just off the edge of the London A-Z, a map which could be said to define the boundaries of the British capital; The Sound of Two Songs (2010), the culmination of his five year project set in contemporary Poland following her accession to the European Union; Mass (2013), an investigation into the power and wealth of the Polish Catholic church; Die Mauer ist Weg! (2014), about chance and choice when confronted, accidentally, with a major news event – in this case the fall of the Berlin Wall; Destroying the Laboratory for the Sake of the Experiment (2016), a collaboration with the poet Daniel Cockrill about pre-Brexit England; Icebreaker (2018) which documents two Finnish ships operating in the Bay of Bothnia; and Good Morning, America Volume One (2018) and Volume Two (2019). The latter project will eventually be published as a five-book set.

Mark Power joined Magnum Photos as a Nominee in 2002, and became a full Member in 2007. He lives in Brighton with his partner Jo, their children Chilli (b.1998) and Milligan (b.2002) and their dog Kodak.

THE WORKSHOP
Participants will be chosen to spend 4 days working closely with Mark at Void’s space in the heart of Athens. The participants will have access to Mark, ASX, and the Void team and the focus of the workshop will be to explore the cityscape of Athens, using its natural, historical and political climate to examine how photographic documents are produced and sequenced to reflect the city and its inhabitants. This is a loose concept and participants are encouraged to think obliquely, but should have a foreknowledge of Mark’s work.

The key elements of this workshop will be to explore Athens with Mark and produce work of a professional accord. The focus of which will be to consider the “Polis”-the collective elements of the city as seen through its landscape and people.

The workshop will focus on Mark’s methodology and his ability to work with Athens as a site. Participants will have access to his practice by their inclusion. The VOID side of the laboratory aspect will focus on zine production of students work, but there will also be lectures and interviews led by Brad Feuerhelm of ASX culminating in a public slideshow of the participants work and a conversation with Mark on the final day of the workshop. Participants will have one on one access with ASX, VOID, and Mark Power when reviewing their work in short sessions and throughout the course of the workshop. It will be intensive and we believe that all components between, artist, publisher and ASX will be an enriching environment for the participant.

The workshop is open up to a maximum of 16 participants. This workshop features three key components that students will have access to-the artist Mark Power, the publisher VOID and the American Suburb X platform.

TODD HIDO — ATHENS, 12–16 NOV ‘19

A 5-DAY WORKSHOP IN ATHENS WITH TODD HIDO + ASX & VOID’S TEAM

TODD HIDO
Todd Hido (born in Kent, Ohio, 1968) wanders endlessly, taking lengthy road trips in search of imagery that connects with his own memories. Through his unique landscape process and signature color palette, Hido alludes to the quiet and mysterious side of suburban America—where uniform communities provide for a stable façade—implying the instability that lies behind the walls. His photographs are in many private and public collections, including the Getty, Los Angeles; Whitney Museum of American Art; MoMA: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Notably, Pier 24 Photography holds the archive of all his published works. He has published more than a dozen books, including the award-winning monograph Excerpts from Silver Meadows (2013) and the innovative B-side box set designed to function as a companion piece. His Aperture titles include Todd Hido on Landscapes, Interiors, and the Nude (2014), part of The Photography Workshop series, and the mid-career survey Intimate Distance: Twenty-Five Years of Photographs, A Chronological Album (2016). His latest book, Bright Black World, was released by Nazraeli press in the Fall of 2018. Hido is also a collector, and over the last twenty-five years has created one of the most notable photobook collections, which will be featured in Bibliomania: The World’s Most Interesting Private Libraries (Random House, 2019).

THE WORKSHOP
Participants will be chosen to spend 5 days working closely with Todd at Void’s space in the heart of Athens. The theme of the workshop is “The Cinematic”. This is a loose concept in which participants will be encouraged to construct a quasi-narrative which can be edited and sequenced into a large series of images in which implied visual communication through the production of “Cinematic photography” will be the starting point.

The participants will also have direct access to both the ASX and Void teams. ASX will be conducting interviews on site and will future a body of work at the end of the laboratory by one student the Void and ASX team chooses. Void will also be aiding in the production of a ZINE for the participants to take away at the end of the workshop. The participants will be asked to be involved in every step of the publishing process. ASX and Void will be directly involved in reviewing work and will be on site and working with Todd to bring the optimum workshop experience to each participant. This workshop features three key components that students will have access to-the artist Todd Hido, the publisher Void and the American Suburb X platform.

For the last night of the workshop, a public projection of the works will be held at Void. A public recorded conversation between Todd Hido and Brad Feuerhelm will also commence.
