2004 CIDF EVENTS

PHOTOGRAPHS OF ANDREAS HORVATH
AT 1112b GALLERY

Until April 25, 2004 The Society for Arts' 112b Gallery displays the series of photographs by Austrian artist Andreas Horvath.

In the mid-eighties filmmaker and photographer Andreas Horvath spent a high school year in Iowa. Since then he has just returned to the Midwest frequently to work on various projects. The selection of black and white photographs is a part of a larger series published as a book in 1993. Originally called COWBOYS AND INDIANS the book featured 85 images of "modern day frontier life" including pictures of Indian reservations. Star photographer Richard Avedon said about the photographs "they are often beautiful and certainly true".

While the book is out of print, original prints of the series are available at the gallery for $575 each. Also, signed copies of Horvath's new book YAKUTIA - SIBERIA OF SBERIA are sold at the gallery. Official distribution of the book in the U.S. will start this summer.

Andreas Horvath's new film THIS AIN'T NO HEARTLAND which takes part in this year's competition section of the Chicago International Documentary Festival explores certain aspects of rural America during war against terror and Iraq. In addition, a mini-retrospective of Horvath's films will be presented as the part of the CIDF Post Scriptum program, from April 12 to April 14, 2004. The program includes THE SILENCE OF GREEN, CLEARANCE, POROEROTUS and THIS AIN'T NO HEARTLAND. The Q&A's with the filmmaker will follow the screenings.
