Marcelle Gianelloni & C.J. Pressma will be exhibiting together at Pyro Gallery as part of the 2023 Louisville Photo Biennial. We will be talking with them in the studio this week. Tune in to WXOX 97.1 FM/Artxfm.com each Thursday at 10 am to hear Artists Talk with LVA.
C..J. Pressma founded the Center for Photographic Studies – an alternative school of creative photography, in 1970. The Center provided a learning experience for those seeking to explore photography as creative expression. During its eight- year existence the center attracted students from over 35 states and foreign countries to its full-time resident program and provided part-time instruction and darkroom access for hundreds of students in the Louisville metropolitan area. In 1978 he was awarded a National Endowment Fellowship in Photography.
Pressma is also a multimedia producer and marketing communications specialist. In 1984, his seven part series Witness to the Holocaust, was released in the U.S. and Canada where it remains in distribution today. Witness to the Holocaust has received numerous national awards.
Marcelle Gianelloni went to The Chain School, attended Wheaton College, studied Spanish at the Middlebury Language School and received a Masters In Education at Lesley University. She has been the curator of Education at the Louisville Zoo since 1984.
