“The beginning and end of all artistic activity is the reproduction of the world that surrounds us by means of the world that is in the Artist, all things being grasped, related, recreated, molded, and reconstructed in a personal form and original manner.”
― Paraphrased from ― Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The Ongoing Moment is a monthly meeting for PHOTOGRAPHERS / ARTISTS who wish to increase their understanding and improve their practice of their medium. The title refers to the idea that “we share experiences that are formally similar”
We explore past Master photographers and Contemporary photographers, looking at their images and artistic process to help us go forward on our own photographic journey.
You are encouraged to bring prints of your current or past work to share with the group, where you can ask for comments or reviews. We are a safe place to help you grow as artists and encourage creative exploration of all kinds. Please email us before the meetings with how many images you will share: walter@horishnyk.com or dickophoto@yahoo.com
Monday, Sept. 16th presentation by
Mark Wojahn
‘Silver Nitrate’ are photo paintings that explore portraits and film stills from the silent film era. The title of the work, refers to the fragile film stock that was used in silent films. The film itself was very flammable and decayed after a short time. The antique process Wojahn uses in the paint finishes is a nod or compliment if you will, to the natural decay of the film but also how many of these gods of their time have now faded into obscurity
Mark Wojahn is a filmmaker, photographer, an art dept lead for Film & TV living and working in Midwest. He works as a local out of Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago. He has been active in the Twin Cities film and art scene since the early 1990’s.
