Sugimoto Web Catalogue
June 21st, 2006This afternoon is the much anticipated launch of our Sugimoto online catalogue (cue brass band and ticker tape parade). In my opinion, it’s our best yet. Check out the following features:
–360 views of the Pulitzer galleries. For those who live on the other side of the world, here’s your chance to experience the exhibition from your very own home! You can navigate through the QuickTime videos yourself or view static images of the galleries installed with Sugimoto photographs.
–Time lapse photography. The effects of natural light on the space is an important feature of the Pulitzer architecture. This component of the catalogue allows you to experience the Main Gallery from sunrise to sunset and to view the dramatic way the light changes the space.
–Interview with Sugimoto. On the day of the opening, Sugimoto sat down with Deborah Martin Kao (Curator, Harvard Art Museums) to talk about the Joe series. Watch video clips and gain additional insight into Sugimoto’s thoughts and ideas.
–View the publication Joe. This book is available at the Pulitzer and features additional photographs from the series as well as a corresponding prose poem written by Jonathan Safran Foer. Scroll through and experience the book in its entirety.
Also available today is the visitor brochure, featuring the above mentioned interview with Sugimoto and background text on the exhibition. So come by the Pulitzer, pick one up, explore the exhibition, then explore again online when you get home.
I loved the time-lapsed photography!
