Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery Acquisition of Jack Mitchell Photographs
TWO NEW CALENDARS FOR 2016
Primal forces confront the child. Although wary, she turns to face the sea. What happens next is left to our imagination. It is an image that invites us to reflect on our complex relationships with the natural world.
~ Quote from the 2016 Wynn Bullock Black-and-White Calendar
Does the idea of having your very own gallery of Wynn Bullock images appeal to you? You need look no further than our 2016 Wynn Bullock calendars which are now available for purchase through our website. One calendar features 12 evocative black-and-white images to enjoy throughout the year and the other highlights 12 images from Wynn’s beautiful, innovative abstract color work.
Measuring 14″ x 12″ in a horizontal format, every page of each calendar is printed on premium cover stock. The calendars are hand-wrapped in perfectly-sized crystal clear poly bags. Once opened, full quarter-inch hanging holes and white Wire-O bindings allow for easy display and optimal viewing.
New thumbnail images and quotes have been chosen to enhance the monthly date pages as well as the two-page biographical essay that introduces each calendar.
To place your orders, click here. The Calendar Page in our Online Store includes thumbnails of all the images for both calendars as well as pictures of the bio pages and sample date pages. Order one or both of our two collectible calendars for yourself and order additional ones to share Wynn’s imagery with extended family and friends.

Long banned and rarely seen, this fictional work by Guy Borremans, the first independent film made in Quebec, depicts a solitary young man’s sentimental and erotic daydreams. A true surrealist poem about love and desire, La femme image sparked a scandal despite its semi-clandestine distribution, because never before had a Quebec-made film shown full- frontal female nudity.
Presented in collaboration with the Cinémathèque québécoise, the Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques de l’Université de Montréal and the Observatoire du cinéma au Québec

He didn’t speak Spanish. She didn’t speak English. After 61 years of marriage he was still on his honeymoon.
In Forest Hills, Queens, a couple sits on their living room couch as the husband and wife each recount how they met in Cuba during the start of WWII.
In her cinematic debut, filmmaker Judy Schiller takes the viewer on two journeys: her mother’s, from Poland to Cuba, where she and her family were the only Jews in their town; and her father’s beginning on New York’s Lower East Side, where the street was the playground.
Equal parts romantic tale and history lesson, the film features poignant period footage and priceless home movies. The accompanying soundtrack intertwines Cuban and American music and enhances the couple’s affectionate dialogue.
How did they stay married for the 61 years? See their daughter’s tribute–and find out.
Short film about the Sam Shaw opening and exhibition at the Centro cultural de Cascais in Portugal. Attended by his daughters Meta Shaw Stevens, Edie Shaw and his granddaughter Melissa Stevens.

The seminar concluded last night as I went to a classroom, and found a breakout session still going strong, and I had to inform them that it was 6:30 and everyone else had left already! I think they might have stayed all night listening to George Miles from Yale, Lisa McCarty from Duke and Jennifer Watts from The Huntington, the esteemed panel who graciously stayed late answering all their questions.
I appreciate all the kind words I have received, and I am so pleased that the 2nd Annual APAG seminar was a great success! Thanks to all the attendees and panelists who travelled from 13 states and Canada! I am so appreciative to my wonderful volunteers, Bryan, Ryan, Danny, Ronnie and Stephanie! I could not do this without the passion and support of my board Grayson Dantzic, Ernest Londa and our newest member Julie Grahame! Our wonderful accountant David Aron deserves our appreciation for his help all year. Andrew Smith from the Andrew Smith Gallery of Santa Fe, New Mexico was a big help in all the pre-planning of the event, and moderated several panels.
Of course, our host ICP helped make the entire event run smoothly, including Erica, Christina, Nicole and Kemal who videotaped the entire event, and I am eternally grateful for Phil Block and Mark Lubell’s continued support, who were both able to welcome everyone on Friday morning! Thank you also to all the APAG members who support APAG throughout the year!
Mary Engel, Founder and President, APAG

“Thank you so much for those two wonderful days. My head is full of information, it will take me a while to digest it all.” -Ariel Borremans, Director Guy Borremans Archive

RADIO INTERVIEW
In this interview with Mary Engel and Executive Vice President Grayson Dantzic we discuss the creation of APAG, and the 2nd Annual APAG Conference in New York, held at the International Center of Photography, ICP, in September 2015. The conference featured leading curators, archivists, librarians, foundations, and photographers on the topics of preservation, strategy, and contemporary concerns and approaches.
With so many families of photographers and professionals trying to understand how best to pass on their legacy, and what to do with an inherited archive, and a myriad of approaches and options, the task can be daunting. If you are interested in photography, estate planning, leaving a legacy, and preserving a photographic archive, then listen in! Recorded at ICP in New York City, in September 2015 by Harris Fogel.
