Such a rad time chatting it out with Jason in his studio. We talked about his latest exhibition in San Diego ah @plnu that is running until November. We got into who inspires him and what kind of work he has planned. We got onto talking about making books and chatted about @filmphotographic and his upcoming Leica show in London in 2023. Alberta showed us some of her artwork and will be taking over hosting my show :)
“JASON LEE
b. 1970, Orange, California
A native of Southern California, Jason Lee is a photographer, producer, writer, director, and actor. Having established a successful career as a professional skateboarder during skateboarding's pivotal late 80s and early 90s period, Lee would go on to pursue acting before developing a passion for photography in 2002. His photographic works have since been featured in multiple group and solo exhibitions, magazines and books, with A PLAIN VIEW (2018) representing the debut publication for Film Photographic, the book publishing company Lee founded in 2015. Prior to the release of A PLAIN VIEW, Refueled magazine published Lee’s first ever photography book, a 2016 special limited edition hardcover issue featuring selected American instant film photographs. June 1, 2019 saw the opening of OK: Jason Lee Photographs, Lee’s premiere museum exhibition. Commissioned by Tulsa’s Philbrook Museum of Art and on view through December 2019, the exhibition featured 178 Oklahoma photographs spanning the Meinig and Burnstein galleries in the museum’s satellite location, Philbrook Downtown. A selection of Larry Clark’s original Tulsa prints were concurrently presented in the adjacent Smith Gallery. A hardcover OK exhibition catalog will be released at a later date. In December 2020, UK publisher Stanley/Barker released IN THE GOLD DUST RUSH, a 112-page book featuring a selection of Lee’s previously unpublished American black-and-white photographs spanning 2008 to 2020. In 2021, Film Photographic in association with Galveston Historical Foundation published a book of Lee’s selected Galveston, Texas photographs.”

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
