A Documentary Photography Project for Cancer Survivors

With generous support from The Lance Armstrong Foundation, selected Creative Center participants will worked for many months developing a digital photo documentary that tells their personal stories of survivorship. Working with Photographer-in-Residence Karen Furth, as well as educators and curators from the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, each participant produced a portfolio of twenty prints, which document their daily lives, a selection of which appeared in the inaugural exhibit at The Creative Center Gallery. That exhibit has now traveled to venues across the US, appearing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Johnson and Johnson in NJ, Pfizer in NYC, United Healthcare in Connecticut, University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Feist Weiller Cancer Center in Shreveport, LA and the Lance Armstrong Foundation in Austin, TX. The traveling exhibit is available to venues free-of-charge (shipping only) and is available as a museum-framed exhibit or mounted on foam core. Please contact Robin Glazer, Director: rglazer@thecreativecenter.org for more information.

Still Life

A book, “Still Life”, featuring the photo essays of all participants, as well as text and a study guide, has been published by Umbrage Books (April 2007). It is available for purchase from The Creative Center (see home page) for $25 as well as museums and bookstores throughout the US.
