Interview by BCN Radio about the Jacarandas

Beatrice Murch — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 21:02:19 +0000

The last week of the Jacaranda photo exhibition at the Botanical Gardens, I had the honor to be interviewed by the radio of the National Congressional Library of Argentina. I have put together a video from the interview with photos by myself and Ariel Kanterewicz (from the exhibition opening) with subtitles so that both English and Spanish speakers alike can enjoy the interview. As noted in this video, I have been asked by a new LGBT cultural center here in Argentina to host the show for a couple of weeks at the end of the year, so there will be another inauguration on December 22 (7-11 PM) at Feliza. If you are in Buenos Aires, please come on by!

Successful opening and a bit of press

The show had quite a successful opening on Saturday November 4th with some 50-60 people in attendance. The day was bright and cheerful, the crowd was interested and interesting and the photos all looked great hung up on the walls. I know that several friends have been during this past week as well and have all sent really positive feedback.

My friend Ariel K was on hand and took some lovely photos. I have linked to the album on FB and included some photos below. Juan Pablo and Malena were also on hand to take video of the opening and also the day before they took some of the mounting of the photos. When that is ready to show, I’ll send out another update.

Clarin, one of the daily newspapers here in Buenos Aires, just published an article about the jacarandas of Buenos Aires and included a quote from me and a bit about the show which was very nice of them.

“Pero no sólo los porteños muestran una admiración floral inusitada. También los extranjeros, como Beatrice Murch, fotógrafa estadounidense afincada en Buenos Aires que el sábado inauguró una exposición en el Botánico sólo con imágenes de esta especie.

“Llegué a la Ciudad un mes de noviembre, con los jacarandás en flor. Estaban tan lindos que me enamoré. En California, donde nací, también hay, pero acá están por todos lados: en las avenidas y las plazas, y también en las calles angostas, donde son una sorpresa de color”, cuenta entusiasmada Murch.”

Dear readers and supporters, thank you so much for all of your support in making this dream a reality. Please take time and visit IndieGoGo to learn more on how you can continue to give us support.

Jacaranda Photography Exhibition

Beatrice Murch — Thu, 19 Oct 2017 09:58:41 +0000

Through the generous sponsorship of friends, family, and fans via the wildly successful IndieGoGo campaign, more than enough funds were raised to mount the photo exhibition of my collection of photos of Jacarandas of Buenos Aires at the Jardín Botánico of Buenos Aires. With the sponsorship of the Marcelo Gurruchaga Espacio Fotográfico, the Jardín Botánico and the IndieGoGo campaign, this series of Jacaranda photos will be on exhibition during the month of November, when the Jacarandas themselves will be in bloom all throughout the city.

Show from November 4-26 at the Jardín Botánico in Buenos Aires of the Jacaranda Photos by Beatrice Murch

This is my second solo exhibition at the Jardín Botánico and it will run from November 4 until November 26, with an opening reception on Saturday, November 4 from 12-2pm. I hope readers can make it to the opening, and if not then, please stop by the gardens throughout the month and have a peak in the main brick building at the exhibition. The exhibit is open to the public on Tuesdays to Fridays from 8:00 to 18:45 and Saturdays and Sundays from 9:30 to 18:45.

Incredibly, the fundraising goal for the IndieGoGo campaign was met by over 200%. The extra funds will allow me to hire a videographer for the event, and publish a limited edition of my photo book “Seasons of Buenos Aires”, which shows the life cycle of the city’s trees through each season of the year. I plan to have the bilingual books available in Argentina by the end of the year, so stay tuned for more news!

IndieGoGo Campaign for Jacaranda Photo Exhibition

Beatrice Murch — Wed, 06 Sep 2017 17:15:43 +0000

If you have ever been lucky enough to be in Buenos Aires in November, you can’t have failed to notice the Jacarandas and their purple flowers. I immigrated to Argentina in 2006, immediately fell in love with the beauty of the trees here, and now have a collection of photographs spanning more than 10 years. This November, there will be an exhibition at the Jardín Botánico of Buenos Aires of my series of photos of the Jacaranda trees that grace the streets, plazas and parks of Buenos Aires. Twelve beautiful canvas prints will be displayed at the the same time as these trees will be Mommy and me dresses blooming all around this beautiful city. I have launched an IndieGoGo campaign to raise funds to pay for this exhibition and to be a way for my extended family, friends, and maybe even some fans of my work to participate in this exhibition from both near and afar with both financial and emotional support. I am humbled and blown away by the support thus far! Thank you!

If you can’t make it to the exhibition, but you still want to enjoy the Jacarandas, consider getting a copy of the full-color photo book that I just completed called “The Seasons of Buenos Aires” where you can appreciate not just the Jacarandas, but a wide variety of the iconic trees of Buenos Aires. Please visit the campaign page to see the wide-range of other perks available to brighten the walls of your home or office, or surprise your loved ones with gifts this holiday season.

The IndieGoGo campaign will only run through October 15th, and the photo exhibition will be held from November 4th – 27th. If you will be in Buenos Aires then, please come to the opening and visit the beautiful gardens!

Thank you for your amazing support and please share with your friends!

The Tipa trees of Buenos Aires

Beatrice Murch — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 17:39:14 +0000

I have just received wonderful news that the Athena Educational Trust will be funding my photography show “Tipas Porteñas” at the Buenos Aires Botanical Gardens. The show will open on November 21 and run through December 11. Spring will have sprung in all her glory and the Tipa trees will have small yellow blossoms dotting the branches. In conjunction with the show, I will be working with Ambientate Argentina and neighborhood environmental gropus to plant trees on the streets of Buenos Aires around Arbol Day (September 21st), continuing the legacy Sr. Carlos Thays started over one hundred years ago. This project has bloomed more that I could ever have hoped for and I look forward to producing these events.
