November 21, 2013

In honor of the exhibition The Itinerant Languages of Photography, Catalan photographer Joan Fontcuberta delivered the keynote lecture for the international symposium "The Itinerant Languages of Photography" (November 21--23, 2013). Fontcuberta was awarded the prestigious Hasselblad Award in 2013 and will be a fellow in the Council of the Humanities during the week of the symposium.








JOAN FONTCUBERTA: STRANGER THAN FICTION


Pho­tog­ra­phy is a tool to nego­ti­ate our idea of real­ity. Thus it is the respon­si­bil­ity of pho­tog­ra­phers to not con­tribute with anaes­thetic images but rather to pro­vide images that shake con­scious­ness.”

–  Joan Fontcuberta

Stranger Than Fiction is our latest Media Space exhibition, open 23 July - 9 November 2014.
Book now: http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/stran...

Joan Fontcuberta's first major UK exhibition features six documentary narratives that combine reality and fiction. Using the visual languages of journalism, advertising, museum displays and scientific journals, these convincing yet subversive and deadpan works are an investigation into photography's authority and our inclination to believe what we see.

America's Rattiest Cities

5. San Francisco-Oak-San Jose

Autumn is the time of year when rodents are actively seeking food, water and shelter in preparation for winter weather. Each fall, rats and mice invade an estimated 21 million American homes.
Orkin recommends the following tips to help prevent rodents around the home:
  • Regularly inspect the home – inside and outside – for rodent droppings, rub marks or burrows.
  • Seal all cracks and gaps around utility penetrations larger than 1/4 of an inch, as well as install weather stripping at the bottom of exterior doors.
  • Trim overgrown branches, plants and bushes near the home, and consider keeping a 2-foot barrier between any landscaping and the home.
  • Store all food (including pet food) and garbage properly in sealed containers both indoors and outdoors.
  • Remove all pet bowls after animals are finished eating, and remove pet waste from the lawn promptly.
