A Conversation between Colin Westerbeck and Graham Howe

A Conversation between Colin Westerbeck and Graham HoweA Conversation between Colin Westerbeck and Graham Howe

A wine & cheese reception will follow the discussion
This conversation is being held in conjunction with our current exhibition "And Howe! Photographs by Graham Howe, 1968 - 2008." This exhibition is a wonderful time capsule - one coming right up to the present - of the culture of photography in Southern California since the 1970s, and Howe is an articulate voice speaking out of this on-going history.

Most people familiar with Howe's name today know him as the CEO of Curatorial Assistance, the Pasadena company he founded in the late 1980s that creates and tours exhibitions both here and abroad. Having originally come here from his native Australia to study under legendary UCLA photography teacher Robert Heinecken, Howe had been a photographer for 20 years before starting Curatorial Assistance. He quit exhibiting and publishing his photography in the late 80s only because he felt it would be a conflict of interest for him to be a working artist and an influential curator at the same time.

But he didn't stop making photographs. Now, 20 years later, he has been persuaded to come out of the shadows of the past and bring us up to date again on his photography. I feel that there's an extraordinary continuity here that has permitted the work to remain what art often is at its best—spontaneous, playful, carefree. Howe has preserved throughout all of the 40 years he has been photographing the irreverent wit and freshness of view that an artist too often begins to lose after the first flush of success.
