Jim Goldberg with Terri Garland
Jim Goldberg is a professor in photography at the California College of the Arts and became a full-member of Magnum photo agency in 2006. He won the Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson grant in 2007 which led to his current project – Open See – a series on refugees, immigration and trafficking in Greece. His many photographic books and multimedia exhibits are storytelling at its best- infused with images, texts, collages and handwritten, personal notations which help to humanize experience.
Jim Goldberg
American, born 1953, lives and works in San Francisco
Jim Goldberg is a Professor of Art at the California College of Arts and Crafts and a member of Magnum Photos. He has been exhibiting for over 30 years and his innovative use of image and text make him a landmark photographer of our times. He began to explore experimental storytelling and the potentials of combining image and text with Rich and Poor, (1977-85), where he juxtaposed the residents of welfare hotel rooms with the upper class and their elegantly furnished home interiors to investigate the nature of American myths about class, power, and happiness. In Raised by Wolves (1985-95), he worked closely with and documented runaway teenagers in San Francisco and Los Angeles to create a book and exhibition that combined original photographs, text, home movie stills, snapshots, drawings, diary entries as well as single and multi-channel video, sculpture, found objects, light boxes and other 3-D elements. Goldberg’s current project focuses on migration, refugees and human trafficking in Europe. Open See (2003-present) is the first volume of an ongoing body of work that will continue to explore the ever-evolving European immigrant community. The work addresses their struggle to adapt to new European cultures and the reciprocal struggle of those cultures to adapt to them in turn. Open See remains within Goldberg’s multi-faceted and multimedia practice. Using diverse formats to create a thickly interwoven, expressionistic narrative that tells a story from many points of view. The presentation is conceived as a layered, sensory experience that will overwhelm the viewer and force a consideration of artistic form and documentary practice.
He is represented by Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York and the Stephen Wirtz Gallery in San Francisco.
His work is in numerous private and public collections including NYMOMA, SFMOMA, Whitney, Getty, LACMA, Corcoran, MFA Boston, Hallmark Collection, The High Museum, Library of Congress, MFA Houston, National Museum of American Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
Jim Goldberg’s fashion, editorial and advertising work has appeared in numerous publications including W, Details, Flaunt, The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Rebel, GQ,The New Yorker, and Dazed and Confused.

Her work is held in many notable collections including the Bibliotech Nationale in Paris, France, The Center for Creative Photography, The Art Institute of Chicago, The di Rosa Preserve in Napa, CA, The Cleveland Museum of Art and Special Collections, University of California at Santa Cruz.
Garland’s images are frequently published, the most recent being included in the current (11/08)

Portions of her acclaimed project on sea turtle conservation have also been published in Ocean Conservancy, California Wild, Waterkeepers, Conservation in Action, Baja Life, National Wildlife, California Coast and Ocean, Surfer’s Journal and The Wall Street Journal. Her work on racism has been published in Colors, Publietas, Editora Ftd., Moderema Ltd., Expose, Elle and The Los Angeles Times Magazine, among others. Her recent exhibition at the Alan Klotz Gallery was reviewed in the October ’08 issue of ARTnews.
As part of her coverage of race and class iniquities in the South, Garland spent extended periods of time in New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast towns following Katrina and during hurricane Rita. She produced a series of images of storm damaged Bibles salvaged from churches of the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. This body of work, The Good Books, has been shown in exhibitions in New York, New Jersey, San Francisco, Basel Miami and as part of Act of Faith, an exhibition of Nooderlicht in the Netherlands. In 2008, Garland was awarded a prestigious Rydell Visual Arts Fellowship for this work. She has also received a NEA fellowship and an Arts Silicon Valley Photography Fellowship for the work documenting racism.
The photographs comprising Southern Discomforts have been widely exhibited at such venues as the Arles Photo Festival, the Triton Museum, University of California Berkeley School of Journalism, Barrister’s Gallery, New Orleans, Rutgers University, Tulane University, Smith College, Galveston Arts Center, Center for Photographic Art, Carmel, CA, Stephen Cohen Gallery, Los Angeles and many others.
Garland is currently writing a book detailing the revelations of a Mississippi native who grew up a close family friend of Byron de la Beckwith, the murderer of Medgar Evers. During the course of weekly visits with Beckwith in prison, Beckwith provided him with details of other crimes. After revealing this information to the FBI and working closely with them at a local level for a number of years, this man has chosen Ms Garland to be the author of his story, in so doing he seeks to bring attention to the crimes that those at the top of the agency decided to leave unsolved. She is also writing an account of another self-proclaimed, former racist – Elwin Wilson of South Carolina who earlier this year publicly apologized to Congressman John Lewis for a beating that occurred during the initial Freedom Ride in May 1961.
