Reflections from the Heart: Photography by David Seymour

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County’s Albin O. Kunh Library Gallery displays art and artifacts from all over the world, including occasional traveling exhibitions and works from its Special Collections Department. An exhibit on the photography of David Seymour runs September 11-December 10, 2006 and includes both black and white and color imagery. The following description is from the gallery’s website:

Curated by Tom Beck and organized by the Library Gallery in collaboration with the Corcoran Museum of Art and the George Eastman House, the project provides the first real critical examination of imagery by the pioneering photojournalist David Seymour (Chim). This project will elevate the significance of work by Seymour, the least well-recognized master among the founders of Magnum Photos, and will better familiarize viewers with the symbolism and artistic roots of his imagery. A major publication on Seymour authored by Beck and published by Phaidon Press, Ltd. will accompany the show.

The show is also accompanied by a podcast and a Flash presentation created in Pachyderm, which features ten images by David Seymour and audio commentary by curator Tom Beck.

Technologies for Learning

This collaborative exhibit was produced in a Masters-level course (”Teaching with Technology”) at Santa Clara University.

The online exhibit, which was only a part of the coursework, helped students to reflect on different styles of presentation, to learn to be synthetic and prioritize a wealth of information, to become aware of how individual work fits in a larger group project, and to understand the value of making the work public beyond the course context.

This Pachyderm presentation introduces Project Row Houses, and its foundational concept “Social Sculpture,” through digital storytelling and multimedia.

Pachyderms On Parade

This presentation draws from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s (SFMOMA’s) Pachyderm presentations of recent years to provide vivid examples of the use and potential of the current set of Pachyderm 2.0 templates.
