San Francisco: I Got 5 On it

Thursday, March 04, 2010


If you happen to be in San Francisco this Saturday, be sure to check out the opening of "I Got 5 On It" at 31 Rausch St. Gallery. The show features the responses of twenty talented photographers who were prompted with five subjects - a chair, a flower, a window, a tree and a road -  to convey through photos.

The exhibition is curated by SF based photographers Amanda Boe, Chris Koperski and Adam Weir. The event runs from 6-10 PM and looks promising!

Eggleston IRL

Sunday, February 28, 2010


This past Saturday marked the opening of William Eggleston: Democratic Camera, Photographs and Video, 1961-2008 at the Art Institute of Chicago, the artist's first retrospective in the US. Some of us were fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the elusive Eggleston at a rare public book signing that afternoon. The lobby of the Modern Wing was swamped with giddy fans hugging copies of the catalogue or older issues of his books. He raised his head a few times during the hour and a half event, but generally remained silent while scrawling his name inside the books that were pushed down the table like an assembly line.

The expansive show occupies the two main galleries on the first floor of the Modern Wing, with some huge black and white portraits and a video installation spilling into the corridor outside of the photo gallery. The works within the galleries are mostly color Dye Transfer prints, a fairly ancient and complicated photographic printing process which results in a densely rich color quality that is Eggleston's signature. Viewing his work in real life is truly a perspective changing event. It remains obvious that he is one of the most influential contemporary photographers in the scene, defining what and how color photography is today.

The exhibition is on view at the Art Institute until May 23.

On a side note, we highly recommend the documentary William Eggleston in the Real World to supplement the genius of this enigma. Released in 2006, the movie shows an intimate look into the artist's life while offering some vulnerable and heart warming scenes of the guy.

Barbara Kasten, Shadow = Light

Saturday, January 16, 2010


For everyone in Los Angeles, you should head to Gallery Luisotti tonight from 6-8pm to see seminal photographer Chicago photographer Barbara Kasten's exhibition Shadow = Light: New Works.

This show has Kasten returning to a familiar theme that has faithfully informed her practice since the 1970s: the interplay between light, space, and the physical form. With those formal concerns in mind the show promises to be crisp, clean, and utterly beautiful.   

Kasten has exhibited nationally and internationally in numerous solo and group exhibitions including Museum of Modern Art, New York, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Los Angeles County Museum of art. She was a past recipient of Guggenheim and Fulbright fellowships. Basically; you name it, she's done it.
