genius

On the FYI front: The Genius of Photography is being shown all this week on Ovation TV Network... It's a  6 part 60- minute- apiece overview of the medium and its various branches... Made by the BBC in 2006, it's still up to date and interesting because you get to hear from quite a lot of the photographers and curators who are still working and shaping the medium... (folk as various as Westerbrook, Goldin, Meyerowitz, Billingham, DiCorcia,  R. Adams etc...). Plus there are some interesting gossip points for those in the know: like how did Gregory get that big?... Course the problem for y'all may be digging up Ovation TV- it's in the Direct TV satellite package, but I am not sure cable has it... check out the web site at (http://www.ovationtv.com)- you will see they have a lot on the arts in general... If you can't get the station, I can't be sure, but I would almost bet that Prof. Mosch probably has a copy of Genius in his video collection (if not on dvd)...;)
