Please join us on
Tuesday, September 26th from
6:30 – 8:30 PM at San Francisco Camerawork for an artist talk and book signing with gallery aritists Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb. They will show work from a number of projects, both published and unpublished, and discuss the creative challenges of working together and apart over the past three decades. The creative couple will show photographs from individual projects — including Rebecca’s
My Dakota, her meditation on loss and landscape, and Alex’s
La Calle some 30 years of work from Mexico — as well as their new collaborative book,
Slant Rhymes, and joint work-in-progress
The City Within.
Alex Webb is known for his vibrant color work, including The Suffering of Light, a survey book of 30 years of his color photographs. He’s exhibited at museums worldwide including the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; the High Museum of Art, Atlanta; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. A Magnum Photos member since 1979, his work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, and other publications. He has received numerous awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2007. His most recent books are La Calle: Photographs from Mexico and Slant Rhymes, the latter with Rebecca Norris Webb.
Originally a poet, Rebecca Norris Webb often interweaves her text and photographs in her six books, most notably with her monograph, My Dakota — an elegy for her brother who died unexpectedly — with a solo exhibition of the work at the Cleveland Museum of Art in 2015. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, and is in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Cleveland Museum of Art; and the George Eastman Museum, Rochester, NY. A new edition of Violet Isle: A Duet of Photographs from Cuba (with Alex Webb) will be published in 2018.
