SUMMARY:Dreaming in Color at LightBox Photographic Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Dreaming in Color \nNovember 9 – December 10\, 2019\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, November 9\, 5-8pm \nLightBox Photographic Gallery\n1045 Marine Dr.\nAstoria\, OR 97103\n(503) 468-0238\nlightbox-photographic.com \nLightBox Photographic Gallery host the artists’ opening reception for Dreaming in Color on Saturday\, November 9\, from 5-8 pm. Dreaming in Color is a celebration of photographic images where the color element is pivotal. Dreaming in Color was juried by one of the most talented purveyors of color in her photography\, Jody Miller. \nForty-three photographers from around the country were chosen for the exhibit which includes 60 pieces. The Juror’s award was given to Steve Lease of Doylestown Pa.\, the second Juror’s Award to Chuck Kirchner of Tuscon\, Arizona and the third Award to Dianne Yudelson of Pleasanton Ca. In addition five honorable mentions were awarded. \n“Color is a very personal issue for most photographers. It’s also a completely individual experience\, since not one of us sees color exactly the same way as anyone else. Our perception of color informs our choices as photographers and creates our emotional language. “Dreaming in Color” is about much more than our dreams. It is an invitation to explore your own uses of color in your photography and tell us how it influences your decisions in image making.” ~ Jody Miller \nJody Miller has been a photographer for most of her life. She has studied with Ansel Adams\, Arthur Ollman and Jerry Uelsmann. Her photographs of landscape and cityscape have been featured in many publications. She has been featured in solo shows at Camerwork Gallery in Portland\, the MorYork Gallery in Los Angeles\, and LightBox Gallery in Astoria\, with one image in the permanent collection of the Tate Gallery in London. Lens Culture named her one of “21 Great Female Photographers” in 2016 and she has won numerous awards both here in the US and internationally. She is a happy part time resident of Astoria\, Oregon. Her website can be found at jodymillerphoto.com. \nCongratulations to the photographers accepted into Dreaming in Color. \nSteven Ballinger • Diane Cockerill • Mark Collins • Rob Dweck\nPeter Friedman • Lara Gilks • Larry Gloth • George Johnson\nKen Johnson • Mark Indig • Stuart Allen Levy • James Lindley\nLori Pond • Michael Puff • John Ritchie • Bonnie Lamply\nEleanor Gorman • Christina Fontsare • Pat Rose • Ronald Butler\nPatty Hankins • Angel O’Brien • Jeffrey Anderson • Liz Vaughn\nMary Hockenbery • Chuck Kirchner • John Wilmot • Steve Lease\nDavid White • Gretchen Gallagher • Debbie Horst • Mark McVey\nShelly Curtis • Diane Yudelson • Slim Banks • M.

SUMMARY:M.C. Reardon at Lincoln City Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:M.C. Reardon\, EXHALE: earth / FOREST\nVisual artist M.C. Reardon presents a dual exhibit of mixed media\, paintings and photography \nNovember 8-December 9\, 2019\nOpening reception: Friday November 8 5-7pm / artist’s talk 6pm \nLincoln City Cultural Center\n540 NE Highway 101\nLincoln City OR\n541-994-9994\nOpen Thursday-Monday 9am-5pm\nemail: lincolncityarts@gmail.com\nwebsite: www.lincolncity-culturalcenter.org \nJoanna Macy once wrote “As we work to heal the Earth\, the Earth heals us.” This exhibit creates a space of Nature\, inner transformation and neutral sanctuary; contemplating the idea of wild nature simply enduring\, going about its daily business\, living in the present moment\, at peace.and yet.still influenced by our presence. \nEXHALE: earth is a body of work using ancient Taoist art as both inspiration and vehicle of expression; exploring the interconnection between Nature and Humanity\, as well as\, considering the idea that Nature does not live in the boundaries that we do\, in tiny squares on a satellite map\, but within the vast landscape we have built our homes upon. \nFOREST is a collection of photographs\, influenced by personal memories of the quiet\, lush forests of Reardon’s home state of Oregon. There are reflections of the senses and spirit; when the harmony of a forest left unaltered by humanity creates balance within\, and the lessons of a forest growing into itself build foundations of collaboration\, mutual sustainability and interdependence. \nAt the show’s opening reception\, Reardon will be launching her latest art book ‘forest’\, which features over 90 of her color and B+W photographs\, created with digital and vintage film cameras; 25 of these images will be framed and hung throughout the Chessman Gallery. 40% of all art sales from this show will directly benefit the Lincoln City Cultural Center; a vibrant hub of artistic expression and arts education on the central Oregon coast.\nNew work that echoes the textures of the forest by Lincoln County ceramic artist Chasse Davidson\, will be included as well. \nTo learn more about Reardon and her creative work please visit:\nwww.mcreardon.com \n

SUMMARY:Blue Sky Ahead: Futures at Blue Sky Gallery

From a statewide call to photo-based artists\, Blue Sky’s founders chose six individuals to represent the next generation of Oregon photographers: Ebenezer Galluzzo\, Emma Kisiel\, Jamila Clarke\, Nolan Streitberger\, Sam Wrigglesworth\, and Troi Anderson. Although these photographers work with the medium in very different ways to tell a range of stories\, they are linked by their use of the camera to reframe or question our past and present cultural norms\, as they expand our understanding of what has come before\, what is\, and what could be. \nAbout the Artists:\nEbenezer Galluzzo is a gender nonconforming trans man\, mother\, husband\, and witch living in Portland\, Oregon. He views the craft of photography as a way to claim and redefine the lens through which he sees the world. He has participated in numerous exhibitions in the United States\, including solo shows in Astoria and Portland\, Oregon\, and his work has been published in Diffusion and in Black & White magazine. \nEmma Kisiel holds a bachelor of fine arts with an emphasis in photography from the University of Colorado Denver. Her work has been featured online in Lenscratch\, Esquire Russia\, F-Stop Magazine\, Feature Shoot\, Juxtapoz\, and the Huffington Post\, and in print in BLINK Magazine and Shots Magazine. Kisiel is also the author of the blog and online artist index Muybridge’s Horse. She is based in Portland\, Oregon.\nJamila Clarke is a fine art photographer whose focus is conceptual portraiture. They were born in Brooklyn\, New York\, and raised in the Pacific Northwest. They studied studio art with a focus on fine art photography/digital video at Oberlin College. Their work has been featured in various galleries and publications around the United States. \nNolan Streitberger is an artist living in Albany\, Oregon. He first studied photography while attending Oregon State University’s pre-college JumpstART program. Nolan holds degrees in graphic design and digital imaging and prepress technology. Streitberger’s work has been featured online in Der Spiegel\, Bento\, ZEITjUNG\, Flavorwire\, and Edge of Humanity Magazine\, and has been selected for recognition by the Smithsonian Photo Contest and the Palm Springs Photo Festival. His photographs have been exhibited in Blue Sky Gallery’s Pacific NW Drawers\, PhotoPlace Gallery online\, the Curated Fridge\, and LoosenArt at the Millepiani Gallery in Rome\, Italy. \nSam Wrigglesworth is a photographer/artist living and working in Eugene\, Oregon. They recently completed their BFA in photography at the University of Oregon. Their work often deals with navigating and renegotiating their relationship to memory. They typically use large- and medium-format analog cameras\, which requires them to employ a slow and intentional process in order to understand an image. In the same way\, understanding oneself or one’s memories is often slow and cumulative. \nTroi Anderson is a documentary photographer based in Portland\, Oregon. He began his career working for Magnolia Pictures and later sailed throughout Asia and the South Pacific as a merchant marine. His work has been featured in GEO France\, the Oregonian\, and Black & White magazine\, and on such websites as CNN Photos\, TIME LightBox\, and Verve Photo. Anderson’s photography has been exhibited in Blue Sky’s Pacific NW Drawers\, and he has been named an emerging artist by Daniel Cooney Fine Art and Musée Magazine. His work has received awards and recognition from American Photography; Photolucida’s Critical Mass Top 50; PX3: Le Prix de la Photographie\, Paris; Communication Arts; the Smithsonian Photo Contest; the Sony World Photography Awards; the Aperture Foundation; IPA – International Photography Awards; and the Palm Springs Photo Festival. \n

SUMMARY:Rick Wright at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Rick Wright\, Vessels of the Late Petroleum Age: Evidence of Ancient Earth \nOctober 26 – November 29\, 2019\nArtist Talk: Saturday\, October 26: 4pm-5pm\nReception: Saturday\, October 26: 5pm-6pm \nCamerawork Gallery\n301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227\nLocated in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.\n9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pm\nFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44\, ADA accessible\nwww.TheCameraworkGallery.org\nwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery\n503-701-5347\nEvent is free and open to the public \n  \nPhiladelphia photographer Rick Wright inhabits the persona of a c. 4300 CE archaeologist: a scientist stumbling onto a cache of preserved vessels crafted out of an unknown synthetic material. This Dada series of catalogued “artifacts” explores how a future society might interpret contemporary plastic containers. The project is driven by Wright’s creative lens work; the objects taking on new form\, expression\, and meaning. There are 27 digital photographs (18 on display at Camerawork Gallery) in the collection—printed with tri-tone pigment ink on Hahnemühle Bamboo paper at 12” x 18”. \nABOUT THE ARTIST Rick Wright practices photography as a malleable and sculptural medium\, stating “photography suffers the unfortunate condition of looking like reality and remains the first thing to transcend as a photographer.” He trained first as an oil painter at Princeton and Columbia Universities (BA and MFA)\, then later morphed into a photographer with studies at ICP in NY with Nan Goldin\, Susan Meiselas\, Dorit Cypis\, and Danny Lyon. Wright is a Philadelphia-based photographer working as a fine artist\, an architectural photographer\, and an instructor. \nThe Vessels of the Late Petroleum Age are currently featured on the cover of LensWork #144 magazine (Sept.-Oct. 2019); along with a 16-page spread. The work has also appeared online in Float Magazine and garnered a Fleisher Faculty Fellowship Award. Wright is currently working on a book of the series with a professional writer. \nSeveral of his photographs reside in permanent collections: Houston Museum of Fine Art\, Philadelphia Museum of Art\, The Creon Collection\, Johnson & Johnson Collection\, and The University of Pennsylvania. Wright keeps his studio in Philadelphia (past 13 years) and teaches photography at Fleisher Art Memorial\, Peter’s Valley School of Art & Craft\, and The Halide Project. \n“Photography is 93% of my life. The other 7% is occupied by typewriter repair\, short story writing\, and life model sketching. I chose photography over painting for its speed\, joy\, and unexpected bends of reality.”—Rick Wright

SUMMARY:Street Vision at South Santiam Hall Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Street VisionPhotographs by Blake Andrews\, Lisa Gidley\, George Kelly\, Gary Gumanow and James Han \nSept. 30 – Nov. 15\, 2019Reception and Gallery Talk\, Thursday\, Oct. 24\, 5-6:30 pmSouth Santiam Hall GalleryLinn-Benton Community College6500 SW Pacific Blvd.Albany\, OR 97321www.linnbenton.edu/current-students/involvement/art-gallery/541-917-4545Open 8-5 Weekdays \nFive Oregon photographers who create art from the fleeting moments of urban life will exhibit their work at Linn-Benton Community College’s South Santiam Hall Gallery\, 6500 SW Pacific Blvd.\, Albany\, from Sept. 30 to Nov. 15\, 2019. \nEugene photographer Blake Andrews will join Portland photographers Lisa Gidley\, George Kelly\, Gary Gumanow and James Han in an exhibit that explores the landscape of street photography in the new century.Street photography has enjoyed a global resurgence in popularity over the last two decades\, according to guest curator Rich Bergeman\, a Corvallis photographer and retired LBCC instructor. He said his goal with the exhibit was to bring contemporary urban photography to the mid-valley\, where it’s not often seen or practiced.“Street photography can be controversial in this age of privacy and political correctness\,” he said. “But it can also bring us sparkling slices of time–candid\, unguarded moments that are ironic\, insightful\, witty and surrealistic.” \nEach of the five photographers in the show gathers his and her pictures from life on the streets\, but each captures their art in different ways–some in color\, some in black-and-white; some with traditional film cameras\, some with iPhones. \nAndrews\, a well-known photographer in the Eugene area\, has been actively photographing for 25 years. He primarily shoots 35mm film\, but for this show will be exhibiting colorful images from the Oregon State Fair shot with an iPhone 6 in pano mode. \nGidley\, who says she’s been “wandering down various sidewalks with a camera since about 2002\,” is showing recent work from New York City. In a break from the street photography tradition of small cameras and black-and-white film\, she frequently photographs in color with a bulky medium-format camera. \nKelly also often uses color film and medium-format\, but the prints he chose for this show are 35mm black-and-white images taken in Portland\, Paris and Los Angeles. He is a self-taught photographer who first took up the camera in 1985. \nGumanow is a native New Yorker who first moved to Portland in 1997\, then to Texas\, and back to Portland in 2015\, and is “happy to be home again.” The work in the LBCC show is from a series of black-and-white images he calls “Houdini Escaping San Francisco.” \nHan is comparatively new to photography\, having gotten serious about it in 2017\, but now he carries a Leica M6 with him every day. He has lived in Portland since 1997\, after moving from Seattle to become a mortician. \nThe South Santiam Hall Gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. \n

Andrews selected recent 35 mm exposures for enlargement. During the printing process\, various domestic objects were used to to photogram odd shapes into the image. The interaction of photogram and photograph is deliberately ambiguous\, raising age-old questions about photographic truth\, representation\, and pranksterism. \nwww.instagram/com/swerdnaekalb

SUMMARY:Blue Sky Ahead: Founders at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Blue Sky Ahead: FoundersFeaturing photography by Ann Hughes\, Christopher Rauschenberg\,Craig Hickman\, Robert Di Franco\, and Terry Toedtemeier \nOctober 3–November 3\, 2019First Thursday opening reception: October 3\, 6:00–9:00 PM \nPanel discussion moderated by Lois Leveen withChristopher Rauschenberg\, Craig Hickman\,Prudence Roberts\, and Robert Di Franco:  Saturday\, October 5\, 1:00 PM \nBlue Sky turns 44 years old in October! To celebrate this considerable legacy\, Blue Sky is launching Blue Sky Ahead\, a two-part exhibition series. \nIn October\, Blue Sky will dedicate both galleries to the current and past photographic work by founders Ann Hughes\, Christopher Rauschenberg\, Craig Hickman\, Robert Di Franco\, and Terry Toedtemeier. Please join usin November for the second half of the series—Blue Sky Ahead: Futures—which will highlight the future of photography in Oregon as seen through the eyes of six emerging photographers chosen by Blue Sky’s founders: Ebenezer Galluzzo\, Emma Kisiel\, Jamila Clarke\, Nolan Streitberger\, Sam Wrigglesworth\, and Troi Anderson. \nAnn Hughes was born in 1948 in St. Maries\, Idaho\, and currently lives in Portland\, Oregon\, where she graduated from Portland State University with a Bachelor of Science degree. A photographer and graphic designer\, Hughes co-founded Blue Sky Gallery in 1975\, where she also exhibited numerous times and regularly designed the legendary exhibitions posters during the early years of the gallery. Her photography can be found in private collections and in the Portland Art Museum’s photography collection. \nChristopher Rauschenberg received his BA from The Evergreen State College in Olympia\, Washington. His work has been exhibited at the Griffin Museum of Photography\, the Chicago Cultural Center\, the International Center of Photography in New York\, and the George Eastman House in Rochester\, NY\, among many other major institutions. An exceptionally active leader in the Northwest arts community\, he taught at Marylhurst University in Lake Oswego\, Oregon for many years and co-founded Nine Gallery and the photography nonprofit Photolucida in Portland\, Oregon\, in addition to co-founding Blue Sky Gallery in 1975. \nCraig Hickman grew up in the Northwest\, where he became friends with fellow Blue Sky cofounders in high school and beyond. Hickman earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Portland State University and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Washington\, Seattle. He taught photography at The Evergreen State College and later taught art courses focused on the computer as an art medium at the University of Oregon\, where he is now Professor Emeritus after 31 years. He is also the creator of Kid Pix\, a computer drawing program for children\, which he initially developed for his son\, Ben. \nRobert Di Franco has been a working artist since 1973. He received a Bachelor of Arts from Brown University and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California\, Davis. In 1975 he co-founded Blue Sky Gallery. Di Franco has taught photography at Cincinnati Art Academy\, the Pacific Northwest College of Art\, Marylhurst University\, and The Evergreen State College. His work has been exhibited at numerous venues nationally and internationally and it is housed in the collections of the French National Archives\, The Portland Art Museum\, The Rainier Bank Photography Collection\, Oregon State Capitol Collection\, the Seattle Arts Commission\, Seattle Art in Public Places Program\, The Washington State Arts Commission\, the Portland Metropolitan Arts Commission\, and the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. In 2015 his photographs were exhibited at the Portland Art Museum in the Blue Sky\, The Oregon Center for the Photographic Arts at 40 retrospective exhibition. \nLifelong Oregonian Terry Toedtemeier (1947–2008) was a dedicated photographer\, photography teacher\, and the Portland Art Museum’s first curator of photography. A self-taught photographer who studied geology in college\, Toedtemeier began experimenting with the medium during the 1970s\, focusing on his friends and colleagues as subjects. By the 1980s he attracted wider critical attention through his landscape images\, which were influenced by his deep understanding of both the photography traditions of the American West and the land’s underlying geology. He traveled throughout Oregon\, paying particularly close attention to the Columbia River Gorge\, the coastline\, and the arid southeast\, enthralled by the diversity of terrain contained within the state’s borders. Digital and color photographs created shortly before the end of his life demonstrate Toedtemeier’s ever-present willingness to experiment and see anew through the camera’s lens. \n

SUMMARY:Pamela Chipman at Art at the Cave
DESCRIPTION:Pamela Chipman\, Photography Exhibition and Video Installation \nOctober 4-26\, 2019Opening reception: Friday\, October 4\, 6-9pm \nArt at the Cave108 E. Evergreen BlvdVancouver\, WA \nArtist Pamela Chipman is pleased to announce new works in Photography and\, two new video installations at Art at the Cave Gallery in Vancouver\, WA\, October 4-26\, 2019. \nUtilizing multiple mediums\, Pamela Chipman’s work explores personal identity and human interconnectivity to express inner states of awareness and isolation. Interweaving imagery with language\, movement and sound\, Inner Voices contemplates the body/mind/spirit connection and specifically how language builds\, shapes and dictates memory and our sense of self. \nWorking in non-linear modalities\, Inner Voices creates an immersive experience both intellectual and sensory. In one aspect\, motion detection software triggers unique video/audio content of women photographed in silhouette compiled into animations. The silhouettes create a haunting two-dimensional profile that are at once objective and nondiscriminating\, and therefore unifying\, but speak to issues of domesticity\, loneliness\, trama\, loss and ultimately\, reconciled transfiguration through a synthesis of mutual experience. \nThe voices we hear\, reveal intertwining narratives that tune us in to our inner voices and navigate how we move forward through time and backward through memory. These sound elements trigger recollections\, emotion\, our internal critic\, or the mundane thoughts that occupy our everyday minds. While the animations move through space and time – using props to represent identity\, power\, and grace – the artist reminds us of our shared humanity\, of our sensate and often unconscious motivations\, and the outer manifestations of our inner state. \nIn Loose Threads\, Chipman enduringly chronicles how easy a life can become unravelled. The artist captures the raw\, true story of a young woman emotionally scarred by the psychological oppression of a masculine dominant culture. The story takes place in New York City in the late 1970s\, but through this video Chipman illustrates how vulnerable women can be – we’re reminded of the far reaching Me Too Movement – and how little has changed culturally for women who are often left to deal with the results of trauma by themselves\, struggling to find their way forward. \nChipman also presents photographs and gilded prints of the images that inspired the Inner Voices video. Each image radiates a luminosity that captures the deliberateness of women-as-subject. We see the subjects as captivating individuals demonstrating their strength\, adaptability\, and resistance to the adversities that often plague women throughout history. Chipman allows us to contemplate in a more resting fashion these Inner Voices and how the body/mind/spirit connection unites us. \nAs an interdisciplinary artist\, Pamela Chipman draws on the present day cultural experiences of women grappling with sexism and gender inequality. She studied video and photography at UCLA and moved to Portland\, Oregon in the late 1980s. Her work has screened across the country in film festivals\, galleries\, and on community television\, and is held in private collections. Throughout her career\, Chipman has explored the potential of the video medium through a variety of projects ranging from video-poetry\, live television\, installations\, and documentary projects. She continues to explore new methods of integrating media into our visual world using installation\, video books\, and public art as tools to reach a broad artistic audience and to activate a sense of fellowship and communita \n

We see these places not as they are but idealize them through our memories. In The Emotional Landscape series\, I capture my deep connection to the natural landscape. \n“I draw my inspiration from the 19th century landscape painting of The Hudson River School. Like the Hudson River School painters\, I interpret the landscape and how it affects me emotionally and spiritually. My approach is not about capturing reality but creating a neo-Romantic world reflective of my memory and imagination.“Walking is an integral part of my creative process and forms my point of view. All of the landscapes in this series were captured while hiking through the natural landscape. The act of walking allows me to experience the nuances of light\, weather and time. It forms my conversation and connection with the landscape. Like a painter\, I manipulate these images through the layering of textures and colors to express my emotional response to a landscape that exists only in my memory.” \nAbout the Artist Karen Klinedinst is a Baltimore-based artist using photography to explore themes of place\, nature and the environment. She is a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore.Her landscapes have been exhibited at Massoni Art Gallery\, Fleckenstein Gallery\, South x Southeast Photo Gallery\, Adkins Arboretum\, Maryland Art Place\, Soho Photo Gallery\, The Center for Fine Art Photography\, Griffin Museum of Photography\, and the Biggs Museum of American Art. Her work is in the collection of the National Park Service. \nKlinedinst was a 2004 Platte Clove Artist-in-Residence at the Catskills Center for Conservation and Development\, and a 2006 National Park Service Artist-in- Residence at Acadia National Park in Maine.

DESCRIPTION:Marcia Connolly & Katherine Knight\, Spring & Arnaud:  Art\, Love\, MortalityPhotography at Oregon\, Last Friday Movie Night \nFriday September 27thDoors open 6:30. Movie starts 7:00 \nStudio 385385 West 2nd Ave at Lawrence St.Eugene\, Or 97401541-686-1240Admission: Open to the public and by fee-will donation \nSpring & Arnaud: Art\, Love\, MortalityBy Marcia Connolly &Katherine Knight[67m/1h7m] \nTogether more than 25 years\, Spring Hurlbut and Arnaud Maggs lived an artful and art-filled life until Maggs’s death at 86 last year. While Oscar Wilde may have put his talent into his art and saved his genius for the living\, these two souls in communion\, born 26 years apart\, appear not to have stinted on either. Shot in the months leading up to Maggs’s death\, the film\, as its title more than suggests\, is an elegiacally inflected love story between equals\, the co-directors never privileging one artist’s oeuvre or sensibility over the other’s. Mostly it’s just Arnaud and Spring\, looking\, talking\, not talking\, gesturing\, at their cottage in France\, their home and studios in Toronto\, a flea market\, the National Gallery in Ottawa. Affectionate and respectful\, it’s also gorgeous to look at. \nREVIEW BY JAMES ADAMSPUBLISHED APRIL 22\, 2013 UPDATED JUNE 19\, 2017

SUMMARY:Angel O’Brien at the Portland Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Angel O’Brien\, Rowing to Eden \nPortland Art Museum Photography Council’sBrown Bag Lunch Talk Series \nWednesday\, September 18th\, 2019\, Noon – 1pm \nPortland Art MuseumThe Miller Gallery\, Mark Building1219 SW Park Avenue\, Portland\, OR 97205www.portlandartmuseum.org503 226 2811Cost: Free to the public (people are welcome to bring their lunch) \nAngel O’Brien will be talking about her recent work from Prague\, Budapest\, San Francisco and Portland\, as well as the liberation of finally finding her voice 24 years after picking up her first camera. \nLocal photographer Angel O’Brien works with experimental and alternative processes to create the often surreal and layered self-portrait montages for which she is well known. Her love of photography began in 1994 when she was in high school: She spent many a day wandering Portland with her Cambo 5×7\, shooting this city’s architecture\, spending even more evenings in her bathroom-turned-darkroom making black-and-white contact prints. Angel’s hands haven’t been far from a camera since\, and she currently works with 35mm\, twin lens\, pinhole\, and large format cameras. Although she mainly kept to monochrome processes in the past\, she experimented with cross-processing slide film and fell in love with the off kilter colors she saw in her photographs. She continues with this method today. \nA few years ago\, out of frustration with not being able to make the photographs that she had in her head\, Angel began to experiment with photo transfers\, creating a lot of crazy (and mostly bad) work. She then learned platinum-palladium printing from Ray Bidegain and gum bichromate printing from Christina Z. Anderson. She finally had the tools she needed to be able to manifest the photography that she’d always been trying to make. A solo trip to Prague and Budapest provided the time and mental space to discover how to turn her crazy life into the handmade platinum/gum (self) portraits that she is recognized for today. \nAngel’s work has been exhibited on both coasts and in Europe\, and is either currently or soon-to-be exhibited at the Blue Sky Gallery in Portland\, the Lightbox Photographic Gallery in Astoria\, and the Albatross Gallery in Gold Hill\, Oregon. She’s recently been selected for the Critical Mass Top 200 for work from her series The Distance of Forgetting. \nWhen she isn’t making photography or writing poetry\, she is often making other kinds of art with her eight-year-old\, Gwendolyn\, or eating too many chocolate ice cream cones\, pondering the chaos of her universe. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Alternative Visions Exhibit at LightBox Photographic Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Alternative Visions Exhibit \nSeptember 14 – November 5\, 2019Artists’ Opening Reception: Saturday\, September 14\, 5-8pm \nLightBox Photographic Gallery1045 Marine Dr.Astoria\, OR 97103(503) 468-0238lightbox-photographic.com \nLightBox Photographic Gallery opens Alternative Visions with an artists’ reception on Saturday\, September 14\, 2019 from 5-8pm. The prints in Alternative Visions represent a large variety of processes\, ranging from cyanotype\, gum\, platinum/palladium\, silver gelatin\, Van Dyke brown\, carbon transfer\, photogravure\, wet plate\, tintype\, ambrotype\, lith\, casein\, chemigram\, lumenprint\, and wet plate collodion. The handmade print\, taken into so many directions\, is obviously alive and well. \nWe are honored to have Christina Z. Anderson\, one of the nations’ finest photographic educators as juror for this Exhibit and keynote Speaker of the Symposium \n“The alternative process “movement” which began around the 1960s was largely a return to 19th century hand coated processes as an alternative to corporately controlled gelatin silver paper. Today there has been a conflation of gelatin silver\, C-prints\, 19th century processes\, and printmaking into the alternative process genre. Even digital means of image capture are now a part of this practice with some processes such as image transfer or palladium over ink jet which use digital printing in part. The hallmark of the field is that the end result is a hands-on\, handmade print.” ~ Christina Z.

SUMMARY:The O'Brien Gallery Platinum/Palladium Students Clothesline Show at The O’Brien Photo Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The O’Brien Gallery Platinum/Palladium Students Clothesline ShowStudents Platinum/Palladium Clothesline Show \nSeptember 14 – November 7\, 2019Reception will be held on Saturday September 14 from 4-6 pm. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery2833 Willamette\, Ste. BEugene\, OR 97405phone: 541 729 3572Open Tuesday – Friday from 1-5 pm. Call to be sure we’re open.email:  waltobrien1945@gmail.com.website: https://www.waltobrien.net/the-o-brien-photo-gallery \nWalt O’Brien provided a one day introduction to the Platinum/Palladium printing process. Students made prints from their files using their own images with platinum/palladium materials.Image sources were unlimited (cell phone to large format camera). \nStudents learned coating emulsions\, contrast control\, exposure and the process for this modified 19th century printing method. The class included 2-3 digital negatives size up to 5×7 made by Walt at least three days ahead of the class. Students were involved in the creation of the negatives. \nEveryone who prints platinum uses a personalized method. This is due to reactions to variables both atmospheric and chemical. Walt did not claim to be an authority on the process\, since the he was relatively new to printing with this method. Instead it was a learning experience for both the students and the instructor. At the end of the day each student left with at least one or more satisfactory prints. \nOne side of the gallery will have a clothesline strung with loose prints hanging by clothespins. The gallery will also have a few framed prints by other professional printers and some framed prints by students. \n

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman at Grants Pass Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman\, The Land Remembers \nAug. 2 Sept. 13\, 2019Opening reception Friday\, Aug. 2 from 5-9pmFirst Friday Live Reception\, Sept. 6 from 5-9pmGallery Talk\, Saturday\, Sept. 7\, at 1:30pm \nGrants Pass Museum of Art229 SW G StreetGrants Pass\, OR 97528https://www.gpmuseum.com/541-479-3290Open Tues-Sat 10am-5pm \nIn “The Land Remembers\,” Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman revisits the terrain of Southern Oregon’s Rogue River Wars of 1851-56 and retells the story through a series of 35 black-and-white infrared photographs. \nDespite being one of the bloodiest and longest-running of Oregon’s Indian conflicts\, the Rogue River Wars are largely forgotten today. Fighting between local tribes and incoming miners and settlers festered and flared up multiple times between 1851 and 1854 before erupting into all out war involving the U.S. Army in 1855-56. It ended with the forced removal of the Rogue Valley and South Coast tribes to reservations at Siletz and Grand Ronde\, in what descendants today memorialize as Oregon’s own “Trail of Tears. \nRather than document exact sites from the war years\, Bergeman said his goal was “to bring the historic conflict back into our collective consciousness through a reflective study of the landscape that played host to such tragic events over 160 years ago.” \nAn Oregonian since 1976\, Bergeman is a retired instructor of journalism and photography for Linn-Benton Community College in Albany. The 70-year-old photographer has been exhibiting his work at various venues in the Northwest and beyond since the 1980s. Over the past two decades he has focused primarily on portraying forgotten Northwest histories through photographs of what’s been left behind. His photographic portfolios can be seen at richbergeman.zenfolio.com\, and in book form at blurb.com

SUMMARY:Josh Smith at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Josh Smith\, The First Years \nSeptember 5–29\, 2019First Thursday opening reception: September 5\, 6:00–9:00 PMArtist talk with Josh Smith: Friday\, September 6\, 12:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery 122 NW 8th AvenuePortland\, Oregon 97209 USA503-225-0210Tuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pmFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pmbluesky@blueskygallery.orghttp://www.blueskygallery.org/All Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \nJosh Smith documents the changes—both monumental and subtle\, internal and external\, and positive and negative—that come with parenthood in his series The First Years. Acting as a “family historian\,” he uses photography as a tool to examine a new way of being and to explore the many contradictions that can exist within a family. Smith’s intimate black-and-white photos of his wife and two sons “serve as place markers for intangible moments of elation\, fear\, and confusion.” \n“The unremitting demands of parenthood contained joy\, tenderness\, vulnerability\, frustration\, and fear all at once. The weight of being fully needed by our children afforded us a sense of purpose\, but also denied us our autonomy and individuality. As we worked to understand our intricate new roles as parents\, our relationship shifted\, resulting in a new connection\, but also a sense of estrangement.” \nJosh Smith was born in Springfield\, Missouri. He earned his MFA in photography from the San Francisco Art Institute\, and has been living and working in the Bay Area since 2004. Throughout his career he has explored various photographic projects\, with his most recent being a body of work exploring the dynamics of family. Smith has exhibited widely within the Bay Area and beyond\, including at Stanford University\, the a.Muse gallery in San Francisco\, and SF Art Market. Smith is a photography instructor at Marin Academy and resides in Pacifica\, California with his wife and two sons. \n

SUMMARY:Jennifer Thoreson at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Thoreson\, Testament \nSeptember 5–29\, 2019First Thursday opening reception: September 5\, 6:00–9:00 PMArtist talk with Jennifer Thoreson: Thursday\, September 5\, 5:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery 122 NW 8th AvenuePortland\, Oregon 97209 USA503-225-0210Tuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pmFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pmbluesky@blueskygallery.orghttp://www.blueskygallery.org/All Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \n“I like to know and feel the moment where people fall apart\, and saturate my work in it. I am seeking the moment of relief\, and relishing in the moments just before it occurs.” \nJennifer Thoreson’s series Testament is an exploration of resilience\, dependency\, the burdens we carry as human beings\, and the yearning for release. Set in a house that Thoreson rented for a year\, the images manifest psychological struggles as vast\, crawling sculptural masses\, which the artist fabricated using materials such as wool\, linen\, clay\, and human hair. Conceived through a spiritual lens\, the photographs borrow symbolic language from the Bible. They take particular inspiration from Matthew 11:28\, a verse that reads: “Come to me\, all you who are weary and burdened\, and I will give you rest.” \nThe content of Thoreson’s images reflects her curiosity about human nature. She states\, “I am attracted to vulnerability\, to peeling back a skin that reveals something precious\, dark\, and tender. I am drawn to moments where people are on an edge\, barely laced together\, befriending disaster\, remembering something\, or exposing something.” \nJennfer Thoreson is a photographer and installation artist currently based in Albuquerque\, New Mexico. Her artistic process includes fabricating abstract objects\, arranging architectural spaces\, and staging furnishings and models to create deeply personal and engaging pieces. Thoreson plays many roles\, including photographer\, teacher\, lecturer\, and mother. Her work has been shown in collections both nationally and internationally. Through her art\, she invites the viewer into a process of self-renewal as she explores the intricacies of human relationships and the ways that brokenness can give way to redemption and healing. \n

SUMMARY:Vera Saltzman at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Vera Saltzman\, O Human Child \nAugust 31st – September 27th\, 2019 \nCamerawork Gallery301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227Located in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pmFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44www.TheCameraworkGallery.orgwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery503-701-5347Event is free and open to the public \nAward winning Canadian photographer\, Vera Saltzman\, notes\, “My impetus for the series “O Human Child” came out of a desire to better understand the place I currently find myself\, rural Saskatchewan. I turned to W.O. Mitchell’s 1947 novel\, Who Has Seen The Wind\, hoping his words would help me gain a sense of the Saskatchewan identity. Through stories of everyday events\, Mitchell writes of a young boy trying to make sense of life\, death\, and God and addressing universal themes in an authentic Canadian “prairie voice”.  \n“As I read Mitchell’s novel I began to question what life is like for children living in small prairie communities today. How do community and landscape shape their personal identity and sense of place? In a time when the online world has opened up for communication\, learning\, and entertainment\, when family farms morph into commercial operations\, and rural communities shrink with migration to urban areas\, how will their childhood landscape impact them as adults?” \nHer exhibit\, “O Human Child” showcases portraits of children who live in rural Saskatchewan of a similar age (between ages 4 and 11) to those in Who Has Seen the Wind. The children are photographed in their own environments: in small towns or rural communities\, on First Nations Territory and farms. In creating this series\, Saltzman is taking a contemporary look at children growing up in rural Saskatchewan\, considering how the tensions and complexities of childhood today both contrast and mirror those of Mitchell’s time.  \nSaltzman’s technique for posing her subjects was to recall historical portraits of unsmiling children—perhaps news or social documentary portraits—taken in austere situations. The children are looking directly into the camera\, clear eyed\, and invite the viewer to reflect on the issues today’s youth grapple with in rural Saskatchewan. Vera describes one scene where Kennedi is standing in front of the town school that has been closed due to low enrolment figures\, and it’s perhaps this—her sparse environment and lack of opportunity\, her navigation from a child in the moment to a young lass who must think about her future—that defines this stoic defiance. It’s a beautiful portrait\, celebrating the strength of youth\, but not without melancholia\, for which the black and white treatment is a perfect metaphor. Life marches on relentlessly\, but progress can seem to be stagnant sometimes.” * *Life Framer\, Photography Platform and Awards www.life-framer.com/youthhood2018/ \nThe title of the exhibition comes from the refrain of the 1886 W.B. Yeats poem “The Stolen Child”. The poem is about the fairy tales we tell children to shield them from the harshness of the world—in this case the loss of a younger sibling.  \nCome away\, O human child!To the waters and the wildWith a faery\, hand in hand\, For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand. \nCanadian photographer Vera Saltzman focuses her attention on issues of identity and the development of a “sense of place\,” the passage of time\, and the fragility of life. She currently lives in Fort Qu’Appelle\, Saskatchewan.  \nSaltzman received two Applied Arts Awards for creative excellence. Her series “O Human Child” was a finalist for the internationally recognized Julia Margaret Cameron Award and a Top 200 Finalist in the Photolucidia Critical Mass Awards. Images from the series have been shown at the 5th Biennial of Fine Art & Documentary Photography\, Barcelona\, Spain and at The Fence 2018\, Calgary\, Canada. Also\, from the series the image Samuel is currently touring with the Fotofilmic18 Exhibition to Vancouver\, Los Angeles and South Korea.  \nHer images have been published regionally\, nationally and internationally including Ottawa Magazine\, Black & White Photography Magazine\, British Journal of Photography\, Photo Life\, Seites\, The Hand and Shots. The Creative Quarterly: The Journal of Art and Design selected her work for their Top 100 publication. Her work has also been included in a number of online sites including Lenscratch\, The Atlantic and Square Magazine. Saltzman’s works are part of the permanent collections of the Saskatchewan Arts Board\, the Art Gallery of Moose Jaw and Canada’s capital city of Ottawa. Vera Saltzman is represented by Slate Fine Art Gallery in Regina\, Saskatchewan. \n
