World War II Museum Presents - Special Exhibition - Lives Remembered: Photographs of a Small Town
September 25, 2008 - January 11, 2009 |
Add to Itinerary |
Location: The National WWII Museum, 945 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA
Phone: 877-813-3329 x 270
Lives Remembered: Photographs of a Town in Poland 1897-1939 illustrates Jewish life in Europe before the Holocaust through reproductions of more than 100 photographs of the small town of Szczuczyn, Poland. This special exhibition is on loan from the Holocaust Museum Houston. These photographs capture the ordinary lives of the residents during the years leading up to the Nazi invasion. These photographs were taken by Zalman Kaplan in Szczuczyn, where he established a business as the local photographer.Kaplan’s grandson, Michael Marvins, spent years collecting photographs by his grandfather from the descendants of the families that lived in Szczuczyn. The photographs reveal another side of the small Polish town contrary to the often associated images of Orthodox Jews. They show a rich and diverse way of life that was not so different from our own today. This exhibit puts faces on the millions of men, women and children who perished in the Holocaust. The photographs are of ordinary people leading common lives. The exhibit shows what can happen to everyday people when hate and intolerance are allowed to flourish. This glimpse into life before the war shows the people of Szczuczyn as similar to many around the world - enjoying life, advancements in technology and living free of labels or hate. Upon close examination, one must wonder, were their lives so different from our own? The exhibit contains over 100 prints of photographs taken by Zalman Kaplan who was a professional photographer in Szczuczyn, Poland. The Jewish community of Szczuczyn was wiped out by the Holocaust. The images were collected from survivors by Kaplan’s grandson Michael Marvins.

As Prospect.1 New Orleans, the largest biennial of international contemporary art in the United States, opens to the public in museums, historic buildings and found sites throughout the city, one old warehouse will serve as the initial greeting point for all visitors. Located at 851 Magazine Street in the former Hefler Warehouse, the official P.1 Welcome Center was& made possible through a collaboration between the Downtown Development District, local architecture studio Eskew+Dumez+Ripple and gallery owner Jonathan Ferrara. The welcome center’s cutting edge design is in keeping with the premise of the Prospect.1 exhibition. Surrounded by pieces from the P.1 exhibition, as well as another exhibition curated by Ferrara, the welcome center will serve as the point of respite and direction for the biennial visitors and the media, according to DDD President & CEO Kurt Weigle. The idea developed from the DDD’s desire to familiarize guests with other attractions and opportunities during their visit to the city.

New Orleans Museum of Art Presents - Photography and Depression

Times: Wednesday Noon until 8:00 p.m; Thursday-Sunday 10:00am - 5:00pm

Phone: (504) 488-2631
The New Orleans Museum of Art presents Photography and Depression, an examination of depression in all its forms, including mental and financial, through 82 works from the Museum's permanent collection.Featured artists represent a who's who of photography, including Ansel Adams, William Eggleston, Walker Evans, Andrew Feininger, Lewis Hine, Dorothea Lange, Danny Lyon, Eadweard Muybridge, George Tice, Alfred Steiglitz, Weegee and many more.
The works are accompanied by text excerpted from Culture and Depression, a 1985 book by Dr. Arthur M. Kleinman, the distinguished professor, psychiatrist, medical and social anthropologist based at Harvard University.
Photography and Depression, the second exhibition in the museological series at NOMA, is a journey--or, as Brian Eno suggested in 1975, an "oblique strategy"--that began as a reaction to the notion of mania in contemporary art. Underneath the frivolity of contemporary art and fashion, one can quickly locate various types of psychological disorders that often lead to cataclysm, economic breakdown or illness. The works chosen were felt to be the most relevant to our present day. "It might have been more expedient to use the nineteenth-century term melancholia, rather than depression," said Diego Cortez, NOMA's Freeman Family Curator of Photography, "but it was felt that the latter term--a more twentieth-century disorder and phenomenon--most accurately described our modern and contemporary society." The history of photography, like that of the twentieth century, has an underlying thread of depression-economic, psychological, and destructive trends in society. These prints document all three facets. The exhibition employs the ideas of Dr. Arthur M. Kleinman, who has led a revolt against his own profession by calling for a broader, more cross-cultural understanding of depressive disorders-one which can encompass widely divergent cultural behaviors, rituals, and beliefs. Excerpts from Kleinman's 1985 book Culture and Depression, edited with Byron J. Good, juxtapose images of the last 150 years, helping to expose some of the underlying subtexts of society's sociological, psychological or anthropological collective attitudes.

Times: 12:00 pm
Location: Oak Street at South Carrollton
Come join us for the New Orleans Poboy Preservation Festival. Hosted by the Oak Street Association, the New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival was founded as a celebration of the storied sandwich and the role it has played in New Orleans' culinary culture. History has it that a local shop owner who was formerly a streetcar driver began feeding the striking the workers for free. When a hungry worker would come in off of the picket line the call would go out: "here comes another poor boy!" From those humble beginnings spring the many varieties of the po-boy sandwich; a New Orleans original of which there is no sub-stitute! The Po-Boy Preservation Festival will also highlight the ongoing revitalization of the Oak Street corridor.
