Larry Sultan Memorial!


The Photography Program at the California College of the Arts is hosting a pin-up show in honor of our colleague and mentor for many, Larry Sultan, and you are invited to participate.

Larry passed away at his home on December 13th after a brief struggle with cancer. Larry's influence and importance as a teacher and artist is monumental, he is deeply missed. Please see this link for more information on his career and passing: http://www.cca.edu/about/press/2009/larry-sultan-longtime-cca-faculty-member-dies-63

This show will just be one of several things that we hope to host in Larry's honor. It is a way for us to mark his passing and his enormous contributions and come together as a community. The show is somewhat informal and open to all participants, please feel free to forward this information. You can contribute an image, an object, a letter, text, really anything you think is appropriate. The show will be an evolving installation in the Oliver Art Center on the Oakland campus from January 11-17th 2010.
