Maggi Smith-Dalton: Substance and shadow at the PEM

Salem -

“My greatest aim has been to advance the art of photography and to make it what I think I have, a great and truthful medium of history.”

— Mathew B. Brady (1822-1896)

“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.”

— Diane Arbus (1923-1971)

***

It began as a bridge of light and time.

At the University of Texas at Austin, “housed in its original presentational frame and sealed within an atmosphere of inert gas in an airtight steel and plexiglas storage frame,” lies a unique, one-of-a-kind object, which “must be viewed under controlled lighting in order for its image to be visible … within a darkened environment free of other incidental light sources.”

In the summer of 1826, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce (1765-1833) set up a camera obscura at an upper-story window at his country house, Le Gras, in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, and, after a daylong exposure, produced the first permanent photograph from nature.

The “heliograph,” as Niépce called it, showed the upper loft of his family’s house; a pear tree lacing the sky; a long, slanting barn roof and the chimney of a bake house. On the other side of the photograph, an additional wing of the main house could be seen. Even after eight hours, the photograph was underexposed, making the finished scene faint and difficult to see.

Remarkably, due to the lengthy process, this first photograph shows, simultaneously, the shadows of both morning and afternoon. The arc of a full day has been captured and merged in one image.

This photograph is, then, in and of itself, a historical bridge. Past and present of a sun’s daily arc through the open sky intertwined and etched forever ... captured in light and shadow.

Where the past and present meet

The sky itself seems to soar through the sunlit atrium at Salem’s Peabody Essex Museum, where “presenting art and culture in new ways ... linking past and present ... embracing artistic and cultural achievements worldwide,” is an ongoing mission.

With roots extending to 1799 when the founding of the East India Marine Society celebrated the thriving maritime economy of Salem’s early years, the museum can be seen as a bridge between historical worlds, and indeed, between distant shores.

Founded by Salem captains and entrepreneurs cresting the waves of Salem’s worldwide trade, the early East India Marine Society collected from its members objects from the northwest coast of America, from Africa, Asia, Oceania, the East Indies, India … and housed them in a so-called “cabinet of natural and artificial curiosities,” so, as was the toast by a seaman in 1804, “that every mariner may possess the history of the world.”

At the PEM’s Phillips Library, in four rooms, in rows upon rows of filing cabinets, shelves upon shelves of boxes, an immense collection of images stands silent witness to these years of world exploration.

“These are the maritime images alone,” says photo archives and resources manager Christine Michelini as we walk into one of those rooms. They line an entire wall in the archive. Michelini oversees handling the rights for reproduction and the general oversight of the collection.

Enthusiastically, she points out historical photographs of sea-grizzled Swampscott fishermen seated stoically dockside, gazing expressionlessly at the camera. Another drawer holds images of every kind of ship imaginable, from multiple eras and in myriad formats: photographic, etched, drawn...

She gently pulls exquisite glass lantern slides from a drawer in a crowded back room; held up to the light, the colors of India, of Asia, gleam, jewel-like, in the hand. They are, truly, marvels to behold.

A particular point of pride for the PEM and for her is the museum’s online image resource, the Essex Image Vault (esseximages.com), which has, as she says, “striking images of the past” that especially appealed to her and the photo archive team as images “people would be interested in.” It represents a valuable online resource for those eager for an accessible visual window into aspects of Essex County’s history.

Through a modern lens

In an upper-floor gallery at the PEM, a new exhibit crests waves of a different kind.

Lining walls the color of an old-fashioned maroon theater curtain, washed in quiet, soft light, hangs a landscape of surf, sky, human bodies and beautiful boards. This installation represents the inaugural exhibit by newly-appointed curator of photography, Phillip Prodger, and marks the launch of a new photography department at the museum.

An acclaimed author and art historian, with unique qualifications, Prodger is the perfect curator for the PEM’s new department.

Holding a PhD in art history from Cambridge University and previous education at Williams College and Stanford University, Prodger, among other achievements, was a fellow at the Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of American History and the Lisette Model and Joseph G. Blum Fellow in History of Photography at the National Gallery of Canada. His published works include “E. O. Hoppe’s Amerika: Modernist Photographs from the 1920s” and “Time Stands Still: Muybridge and the Instantaneous Photography Movement.” He co-edited “Impressionist Camera: Pictorial Photography in Europe, 1888-1918.”

A scholar who displays the intelligence and charm of the consummate gentleman, he is also an author of a fascinating new book, “Darwin’s Camera: Art and Photography in the Theory of Evolution” (Oxford University Press) which is described as “the extraordinary story of how Charles Darwin changed the way pictures are seen and made.”

An article in the journal Leonardo by Amy Ione described Prodger’s curatorial gifts for the exhibit “Time Stands Still: Muybridge and the Instantaneous Photography Movement”:

“Rather than interpreting the Stanford and Muybridge collaboration, guest curator Philip Prodger places their joint legacy within a larger context relying on roughly 170 works, culled from collections in six countries.”

Thus, Prodger’s scholarly and artistic expertise, coupled with a fresh eye and the sensibilities of a historian, bodes well for future museum experiences representing not only the contemporary art for which the PEM is already famous, but its deep historic roots — honoring its existing collection of superlative, historically-significant photography.

His tenure will give PEM a unique ability to showcase ever-widening and interlocked circles of historical context and cultural significance through the photographic record.

And, as importantly — it will highlight those aspects of fun and enjoyment which photography, that most democratic of art forms, so aptly presents.

Prodger’s first curated exhibit, Surfland, underscores this observation and exemplifies some important indicators of the direction for PEM’s photography initiative.

Here, side by side, one finds contemporary images by photographer Joni Sternbach, modern “tintypes,” produced by using a 19th-century technique; and, equally honored, poignant archival tintypes and daguerreotypes, concurrently displayed.

By exhibiting of some of the PEM’s treasured historical tintypes and other archival photographic materials, Prodger’s vision bridges the past and present — intertwined and etched forever, captured in light and shadow.

Surfland contextualizes it all in a lovely visual dance as the visitor travels between faces of the surfers skimming the walls and the faces of the past gazing up from the glass cases gleaming along the corridor opposite them.

Yet the subject matter — surfers posing with their surfboards, bodies and boards of every conceivable size, shape and decoration — is fun, too; putting the viewer in mind of summer days, youthful adventure and the ease of body which comes with such adventures.

SurfLand is also the first solo museum exhibition for photographer Sternbach. Sternbach, an engaging and friendly person, says she became intrigued by the challenge of utilizing the slow and somewhat complicated collodion process of photography.

The tintype, also known as a ferrotype, was introduced in the mid-nineteenth century. It is produced on metallic sheet (though, not tin) by a “wet plate” process; the images recorded are “reversed,” as in a mirror. It was, for its time, relatively inexpensive — thus, popular among “average” people. It produced a rugged and durable photograph which could be mailed or carried (and often was, into battle, for instance, during the Civil War).

This excerpt from a 19th-century photographic chemistry manual may serve to illustrate some of what Sternbach experienced in shooting her subjects, live, on the beach:

“The Collodion process may be applied with success to landscape Photography; but as the plates become dry and lose their sensitiveness shortly after their removal from the Bath, the operator will require to provide himself with a yellow tent or some portable vehicle in which the operations of sensitizing and developing can be conducted. As it is a point of great importance in the Collodion process that the plate should receive exactly the right amount of exposure in the Camera,— a few seconds more or less sufficing to affect the character of the picture,— many will submit to much trouble and inconvenience in order to have the apparatus complete upon the spot at which the view is taken …”

Needless to say, you get to know your subjects with this technique a bit better than taking a digital snapshot; and that became a functional part of the process for Sternbach. Perhaps, this lent a sympathetic undertone to the otherwise “anthropological” aspect of these photographs.

Bridging the past and future

In later life, the great 19th-century American icon of human rights advocacy, Sojourner Truth (c.1797-1883) supported herself by selling her photographic portraits as cabinet cards and carte-de-visites. Many bore her quoted words, “I sell the Shadow to support the Substance.”

The photographer Ansel Adams (1902-1984) pointed out that “A photograph is usually looked at — seldom looked into.”

A photograph, unlike a painting, seems, perhaps so familiar, so domestic, that we forget that we are gazing only at chemically-captured bits of light and dark, substance and shadow; they are, however, a mirror we aim at ourselves.

A photograph, however contemporary it may seem, is inherently and inescapably historical. It has truly only captured a second of time past.

Just as Frenchman Joseph Nicéphore Niépce had, both figuratively and literally, captured time in substance and shadow, so, too, perhaps, will the new photography initiative at the PEM under Curator Phillip Prodger bestow these gifts on those of us who regularly walk the bridges linking past, present and future.

Hello SHS Members:

Well, we're in the process of moving all the back discussions and
information to the new social network server.

We think you'll like it.
Some things you'll find there:

Easy posting features, and the ability to have your own customized
individual page, too.

Interest Groups easier to start, join, post in and follow.

Best of all, you'll have the ability to post events, images, videos,
music, and more, to the new Common; and we've been able to link up the
already-existing album on Flikr too. So we won't lose what's already
been posted, but the new centralized Common will make it easier to
post and to find all these things too.

It should be easy to update and easy to administrate on this end, as
well, which is a consideration for all of us.

So look for an email in the coming weeks inviting you to register on
the new Salem History Common. Keep your eye on the Website and we'll
announce things in the Gazette too.

We hope to have it up and running by the end of March, well in advance
of the April meeting (date still TBA).

Thanks!

The
Salem History Society Advisory Board

2nd Annual Steam Muster

Saturday October 18, 2008
10:00 am - 4:00 pm

On Saturday, October 18th, 2008, rain or shine, the Essex Historical
Society and Shipbuilding Museum of Essex, Massachusetts will host the
2nd Annual Steam Muster to celebrate the era of steam. The event will
run from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM.

Collectors from around New England will convene to display steam and
other examples of the “new” industrial era machinery, typical of what
you might see when the A.D. Story shipyard was in full swing between
1890’s and 1914.

There will be steam launches, working steam engines, a working scale
models of steam engines and a rare working steam roller. There will
also be a rare turn-of-the-century Gloucester coal truck of the kind
that would have delivered coal to Essex steam engines. There are even
more exhibits that have not yet been confirmed! These remarkable
devices are indicative of the inginuity that launched the industrial
age.

Inside the Museum’s Waterline Education Center, individual collectors
will display memorabilia from the era of steam. Throughout the day,
there will be lectures on steam engines and the history of steam,
historical presentations on steam vehicles, tours of the Essex
Shipbuilding Museum and even an ongoing digital photography “better
picture taking tips” workshop to help visitors get the best pictures
they can of this very unique event.

Admission: $10.00 per adult
(children 12 and younger admitted free of charge).

The suggested contribution for a family: $ 25.00.

No exhibitor fees.

Food and beverages will be available throughout the day.

All proceeds benefit the Essex Historical Society and Shipbuilding
Museum.

Essex and Shipbuilding:
For over three centuries, shipbuilding flourished in Essex, a small
village wrapped around a tidal estuary that flows into Ipswich Bay.
Essex-built two-masted schooners became known throughout the maritime
world as swift and strong fishing vessels, and Essex shipbuilding
became synonymous with craftsmanship of the finest order.

Steam was part of Essex history. Steam donkey engines were used to
hoist sails and haul nets on many Essex-built schooners. The Essex
yards produced thirty-one steam powered tugs, trawlers, lighters,
freighters and passenger haulers. Fifteen of those were over 100 feet
long –– eight were over 150. The Steam Collier VIDETTE of 1881 was the
town’s largest vessel at 191 feet and 819.43 gross tons.

For more information about this very unique event, contact Barry
O’Brien at 978-282-8222.

If you are interested in exhibiting, please contact Ed Howard at (978)
768-7282

September Meeting, and RSVP by 9/12/08 to A Special Invite
AN IMPORTANT SEPTEMBER MEETING

Our first Salem History Society program and meeting for the Fall
semester will be held
at Cornerstone Books on Sept. 9, 2008,
from 7:30 to 9 p.m.
It promises to be an important meeting
on several counts.

Have you ever wondered
just what specific tasks fall to all the
individual groups and organizations
involved in the many ways, we, as
a community, honor Salem's history?

Come to the September meeting, (TONIGHT!)
and let's explore a bit of that together
as we continue our Society's inquiry into and appreciation of
the historical resources of our city and region.

Our guests Sept. 9 will be
the chair of the Salem Historical
Commission, Hannah Diozzi,
and the president of Historic Salem, Inc., Julie Rose.

Both have been longtime champions
of Salem's history and
historic treasures,
with important and distinguished service
to Salem
to their credit.

Their respective organizations have long been in the
vanguard of efforts to preserve and protect Salem's historic culture.

They will be leading a conversation about the service their
organizations provide in fulfillment of their respective missions.

All are welcome to attend, both current and potential members of SHS
alike.

MEMBERSHIP UPDATES
Also at the September meeting, we will be discussing some new services
the Salem History Society will provide its members; including proposed
new ways to get research help; a restructured meeting format,
including a new start time (7:30 p.m.); an overall heightened emphasis
on active membership participation in each of our meetings and
discussions; and other proposed new perks of your membership in SHS.
