Bios for Artists presenting talks on Saturday October 8th
Sarah Small, born in Washington, DC, began her photography career at age 13. She is a graduate of RISD, currently lives in Brooklyn, NY and teaches photography at Parsons. Her work explores the unlikely interactions born when dissociated characters are brought together into the same space. She has received much acclaim for her ongoing body of work Tableau Vivant of the Delirium Constructions. Her description of this project is intriguing “Part homage to the history of art, part joyous celebration, part party, part radical experiment…revealing the evolutionary process of creating art and community…” Small’s work has appeared in publications including Vogue, Life, and The New York Times. Her images have been exhibited in the U.S. and internationally, in such venues as Caprice Horn Gallery, The Corcoran Gallery, and The Australian Center for Photography. She has been the recipient of numerous awards, and was recently named by American Photo as one of the “Top 13 Emerging Photographers” working today.

Sion Fullana is a professional photographer, journalist and filmmaker living in New York City. He was born in Majorca Spain and lived in Barcelona and San Antonio de los Banos Cuba where he graduated in film directing from the prestigious EICTV (International Film and TV School). Since moving to Manhattan in 2006, he has focused his career on street photography and has emerged as one of the masters of the mobile photography movement. Sion combines his journalistic and cinematic background with his talented manipulation of smartphone technology to create iconic images and tell engaging stories. His work is featured regularly in Time Out NewYork, and in numerous publications including Wink-Magazine, Gup Magazine, El Pais, El Mundo, Phaidon.com, Mashable, American Photo Magazine and many others. He teaches mobile photography for Apple, and is one of the founders of MPG, an artist cooperative seeking to push mobile photography into the mainstream of photojournalism.
