SUMMARY:Submission call for "Cascadia 2018"
DESCRIPTION:Submission call for “Cascadia 2018” deadline extended to Dec. 10 at midnight A Traveling Exhibit Open to Oregon Photographers funded by The Ford Family Foundation Visual Arts Grant \n Deadline for submission of up to 3 jpgs has been extended to Dec. 10 Notification of jurors’ results is Jan. 1\, 2018 Deadline for shipping accepted prints (unmatted/unframed) is Feb. 16\, 2018 Show opens in Baker City on April 6\, 2018\, then travels to The Dalles in May and to Corvallis in July.  \n Crossroads-Carnegie Art Center 2020 Auburn Ave. Baker City\, Oregon 97814 kristin@crossroads-arts.org www.crossroads-arts.org 541-523-5369 \n Judges will award $4\,000 in cash prizes at the opening show at Crossroads-Carnegie Art Center in Baker City\, including $500 People’s Choice Awards at all three venues. \n The Details: Open to Oregon photographers only.  Forty-eight images will be selected for the traveling exhibition in two Areas of Focus • Oregonians at work or play • Views of Oregon \n The goal of the exhibit is to interpret the authentic Oregon experience\, and to challenge artists to look at the urban/rural divide through their lenses and show us stories about our similarities\, rather than our differences. We chose the word “Cascadia” as a reference to the Cascadia Subduction Zone (or fault)\, which stretches the entire length of the Oregon Coast\, as well as further north and south. It is this fault line that is the source of much of the volcanic activity that created the Oregon Landscape and the Cascades\, which have traditionally been the dividing line of our state. In fact\, it is a very long\, sloping subduction zone that separates the Explorer\, Juan de Fuca and Gorda Plates from the North American Plate — the Cascadia subduction zone is where the two plates meet\, and it is at “Cascadia” where Oregon meets. \n We are looking for the best of Oregon’s photographic artists. The uncommon\, unique and extraordinary vistas of Oregon… the urban and intercity views… the graffiti and night life… the mountains and ocean… the canyons and deserts… the streams\, brooks\, and rivers… the city sky lines and rural vistas… fun and exciting\, new sights\, new perspective. \n Two jurors will select the 48 images to be exhibited and three fine art photography judges will select the award winners. Selected photographers will be notified via email and will be asked to send their prints to Crossroads unmatted in a shipping tube.  Crossroads will arrange an account with UPS for mailing\, and Crossroads will matte and frame all work. Crossroads will be responsible for shipping all work to other venues and work will be insured. \n All accepted work must be for sale\, but submitted prints must stay in the traveling show for its duration. When work is sold at any of the venues during the tour\, artists will be responsible for shipping purchased work to the buyer. Crossroads will arrange an option to sell additional unframed copies of work and create a process for this. We will notify all selected artists of all details following the jurying process. The gallery commission will be 30% at all three venues. \n Thanks to a grant from the Ford Family Foundation\, Crossroads will also publish a hard-bound catalog of the traveling show that will be made available to exhibitors and exhibit venues. \n How to Submit Images 1. Submit files via email in high quality jpg format to photos@crossroads-arts.org 2. Name and number each file as follows: 1_Lastname_First name_Title (Example: 1_Smith\,Jane_Rodeo.jpg) 3.

SUMMARY:Sylwia Kowalczyk at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:“Lethe is the river that cleanses Dante in Purgatory\, the one that wipes memories of the dead as they drink from it or bathe in it. The poet Sylvia Plath steps up from ‘the black car of Lethe\, Pure as a baby’. It is an escape\, a relief from our own physical limitations.” \nIn her collage-based portrait series\, Sylwia Kowalczyk visualizes the often disjointed\, piecemeal process of recalling the past. Each image is constructed using layers of cut and torn images that are re-photographed and enlarged. Just as our memories tend to change over time\, Lethe illustrates how information can become compressed and distorted by the mind but still accepted as truth. Kowalczyk’s aesthetic focus on texture and materials\, as well as the prominence of the human figure in each frame also suggests that this process of remembering is very much a sensory\, embodied experience that cannot be divorced from the material world.

SUMMARY:Lorna Simpson at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:As a final exhibition commemorating the Embodied: Asserting Self exhibition series\, Blue Sky presents Lorna Simpson: from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer\, which includes two major bodies of work by Simpson: Wigs (1994) and Details (1996). Wigs is a collection of twenty-one lithographs depicting hair pieces and seventeen corresponding texts printed on felt. The images and texts emphasize the significance of hair in relation to dominant beauty standards and focus on a wide range of styles\, including Afros\, braided hair\, blond locks\, and doll wigs. Details consists of twenty-one photogravures accompanied by silkscreened captions. The imagery of the photogravures comes from the artist’s collection of family photos that she has edited and tightly cropped to focus on gestures and hands\, while the cryptic text creates a fragmentary but open-ended narrative. In both works\, Simpson references the body without including it\, or leaves out defining facial features to preserve her subjects’ anonymity\, inviting viewers to place themselves or imagine others within these visual spaces.

SUMMARY:Terry K. Thompson at Augen Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Augen is pleased to present its second solo exhibition of photographs by Terry K. Thompson with this broad 50-year retrospective of his life’s work\, titled “Entanglement – Photographic Works 1967-2017.” Thompson began early on as a painter and “literature sponge\,” as he puts it\, before settling on the camera and the particular aesthetics of photography as his medium of choice. He began his formal photo training in the Navy in 1968 under Edward Steichen’s extensive program\, and continued on at the New York at the School of Visual Arts in the 1970s\, where his teachers included Diane Arbus\, Duane Michaels\, Lisette Model\, Gary Winogrand\, and Arbus’s assistant\, Tad Yamashiro among others. Thompson credits Yamashiro’s take on image formation and Winogrand’s “outside the frame” usage as being very influential in his own work. \nFollowing New York\, Thompson’s graduate school experience at the San Francisco Art Institute introduced him to the insight and perspective of many other established artists\, including Linda Conner\, Ruth Bernhard\, Pirkle Jones\, Imogen Cunningham\, and Wynn Bullock. Throughout his own work\, Thompson exhibits a range of inspiration and of exploration in what he describes as non-verbal poetic form. He cites the example of Entanglement in the Garden as his association with nature\, with Eden\, and artistic representations of the past all intersecting in something of a revisionist work. The non-verbal poetics of Thompson’s imagery is underscored by the seductive physical qualities of varied photographic mediums that he skillfully employs. The exhibition will include vintage gelatin silver prints\, unique platinum and gum bichromate combination prints\, and vintage platinotypes\, with 99% platinum and a “smidge” of gold or iridium. \nThompson was awarded a Career Opportunity Grant from both the Oregon Arts Commission and the Ford Family Foundation in support of this retrospective exhibition. After studies at the School of Visual Arts in New York City\, Thompson completed his M.F.A. at the San Francisco Art Institute. He has had numerous solo exhibitions of his work in San Francisco\, Los Angeles\, and Portland\, and has been included in group exhibitions in San Francisco\, Los Angeles\, New York\, Portland\, and abroad in England\, Scotland\, Japan and Switzerland.Thompson will be present at the gallery’s First Wednesday Preview and First Thursday openings and he will give an artist talk on Saturday\, December 9\, at noon. An exhibition catalog will be available for purchase at the gallery.

SUMMARY:Blue Moon Camera Customer Show 2017
DESCRIPTION:Blue Moon Camera and Machine celebrates our sixteenth anniversary with a presentation of our Fifteenth Annual Customer Show. As one of the last optical printing labs in the country\, Blue Moon Camera handles film from thousands of photographers around the globe throughout the year. Tens of thousands of images pass through the lab – some destined for the walls of a gallery\, others for an esteemed place on the refrigerator.  \nRegardless of what our customers do with them afterward\, each photo that comes through the lab is\, at one point or another\, held in the hands of a staff member and looked at. We count the prints\, check for dust\, and make sure that they reach our standards of quality. We also\, occasionally\, stop. We hold a print in our hands that makes us feel something and we stop. It may be especially creative\, it may be a perfect execution of technique\, it may be touching\, profound\, or just plain lovely. When this happens\, the staff member brings this stop-inducing photo around to the rest of the staff to share the experience\, and\, if the majority approves and the photographer gives their blessing\, it is selected for the Blue Moon Camera Customer Show. \nWe’re always excited for this show as it is an opportunity to exhibit the work of our incredibly talented customer-base. It’s also an opportunity for a unique community of creatives to get together and have a fantastic time.  \nWe hope to see you all there\, dressed in your finest\, ready to get into some shenanigans with the Blue Moon Camera Crew. \nVenues: \n45th Parallel Wines 8527 N LombardAnna Bannana’s 8716 N LombardLeisure Public House 8002 N LombardThe Fixin’ To 8218 N Lombard  Projecting photos one night only during opening reception!

SUMMARY:Ashley Innis at Pushdot Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Paranthetics is a study of light\, color\, and motion; it is a visualization of their relationship. Images are taken with a lensless camera which record light refracted between a specific point and the camera itself and this light takes the form of color and shape. The outcome shows a difference between what is seen and what is physically there. Seemingly\, there is a reality and another reality. Our muscle memory\, our eyes\, our emotions and general “understanding” of the world fills in any void for us. Meditating on that idea\, I created neon and placed it back into the image\, back into the scene. The neon is what my muscle memory\, my eyes\, emotions\, and my general “understanding of the world fills in the space between these two points. \nAshley has been photographing since childhood and pairing photography and neon for 7 years. Her work has been displayed at Gallery 12 x16\, Gallery 511\, Ninkasi Gallery\, Dot Dotson’s Gallery and has been featured in B & W Magazine from receiving a Merit Award from the publication. Innis achieved her BFA from Pacific Northwest College of Art in 2016 and currently resides in Portland with her wolf.  \nHer work can be seen at: ashleyinnis.com
