Online : Artist, Mother, Educator. May 2, 2020 A webinar sponsored by the Eastman Museum.

The Eastman Museum has designed a virtual tour of my retrospective Harvest of Memory which is currently closed due to the pandemic.

Lomography Magazine has just posted an extensive interview with many of the images from Bea Nettles: Harvest of Memory.

This interview was conducted by Cat Lachowskyj in conjunction with my show Harvest of Memory, currently at the Eastman Museum in Rochester. Although the museum is currently closed due to the Corona virus outbreak, the work and three essays can still be viewed in the accompanying book.‭

Prior to the opening of Harvest of Memory, I was interviewed by Amanda Chestnut. That article appeared recently in the City Newspaper, Rochester, NY.

The Eastman Museum has closed until future notice, but you can read this review of my show by Gerhard Clausing online at Photobook Journal and view selected images.

I attended the opening of “All of them Witches” at Jeffrey Deitch in LA where these three of my works were being shown.

This major retrospective opened on January 30, 2020, almost fifty years since my first exhibition at the Eastman when I first moved to Rochester, NY. The street banner incorporates the announcement for that 1970 show.

Three of my early works will be shown in “All of them Witches,” a show co-curated by Laurie Simmons and Dan Nadel. It opens on Saturday Feb 8, 2020 and I’ll be there.

An interview with me by Lyle Rexer has just been published in this issue of Photograph Magazine.

Thanks go to the following special collections libraries for acquiring my limited edition Worlds Motherway: Yale, the Universities of Illinois and Central Florida, Herron School of Art, and the Eastman Museum in Rochester.

I have just completed both versions of my latest project, a poetry book called Worlds Motherway. During my travels to cemeteries, I have photographed thousands of last names on gravestones that are parts of speech. With these words I have created books that investigate language, history, and some of life’s events.

My retrospective exhibition Harvest of Memory has now officially begun its travels. It opened on October 4th with a lecture and gallery walkthrough on the 5th. The show will come down by December 30th.

Bea Nettles: Harvest of Memory book is now shipping from the University of Texas Press website. It is also available from Amazon.
