SUMMARY:Photo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:FIVE SOLO SHOWS \nSeptember 14 – November 17\, 2017\nThe Edouard de Merlier Photography Gallery\nCypress College \nThis autumn Cypress College is honored to exhibit the works of five\naccomplished female visual artists who utilize\, in their individual\npractices\, radical approaches for create photographic works. As\nphotography pushes forward in the digital space at a rapid speed\, it\nis imperative that the Photography Department share contemporary\nartists who have not succumbed to the motto that\, “Film is Dead.”\nThese artists still use traditional\, “historical” processes such as\npinhole\, lumen prints\, collage\, photograms\, and other alternative\nprocesses but in a new inventive way. Each of these artists use a\nlabor-intensive process-based exploration\, with many of them still\nusing an analog darkroom to develop their prints. These five artists\nexplore current and historical “landscapes” wherein the past affects\nthe current\, the current affects the future\, and the collision between\nthe two create a new history with uncertain consequences. \nIn Ginny Cook’s series Natural Selection\, she cuts out singe\nwords\, lays them out on a table in her studio\, photographs them\,\nand later develops them as silver gelatin prints. Each of these words\nindicates an endangered or extinct flora or fauna\, connecting our\nown mortality with the fragile environment around us. Her use of\nlanguage and word play is rendered completely monochromatic by\nnever sharing any actual plant or animal imagery. Without any visual\ncues to that which these words refer\, the viewer is left questioning\nwhere they stand in relation to these words and what personal\nexperiences are conjured up upon seeing them. Cook hopes to\nexpose our connection to nature\, and these images leave the viewer\nwondering about the larger operations of our day to day life\, and\nways in which these words and phrases affect us. \nAmong this group of artists\, is the newest and first full-time female\nphotography instructor at Cypress College\, Julie Shafer. Often\nworking directly with nature\, Shafer is interested in working in ways\nthat allow the terrain to make it’s own record on the photographic\nsurface. In her series Wait ‘til You See the Devil’s Punchbowl\, Julie\nwent to coastal Louisiana\, and the bayous of the Atchafalaya Basin\nto record the terrain that has been altered by years of mining. Shafer\nhas used a few methods for creating this work; a 4×5 camera and\nfilm records only the red spectrum of light in oil fields\, contaminated\nsinking bayous\, and defunct oil platforms\, and a series of lumen\nprints are a record of a chemical reaction between the silver in the\nphotographic paper\, the sun\, flora and contamination from cracked oil\nlines that have been in the waters for decades.We are seeing\nsomething the naked eye can’t see\, much like we don’t typically see\nphotographic paper\, the sun\, flora and contamination from cracked oil\nlines that have been in the waters for decades.We are seeing\nsomething the naked eye can’t see\, much like we don’t typically see\nthe ever-changing deviation of the physical landscape. \nKristine Thompson’s series Images Seen to Images Felt also\ninvestigates this idea of social and political history\, however as seen\nthrough the lens of current events. Thompson often watches and\nresearches the images that news systems are displaying and how\nthey are representing photographic imagery to the public. She\nfocuses a lot of her work on death and mourning\, a topic that is\nconstantly streaming to us on contemporary news outlets. She will\ntake her laptop into the darkroom\, hold a silver gelatin piece of paper\ndirectly to the screen\, and allow a transfer to happen from screen to\npaper. In many of the images\, you can still see a sliver of a bar\nindicating where she had paused the broadcast or blurry icons of the\nInternet address bar. While these details are not in every image\, she\nnever attempts to hide that fact that the “original images” were not\nher own. These are stories of and by the public and thus the use of\nthe images is seemingly universal. When installing them within\ngallery spaces\, she groups them together based on both formal and\nemotional connections that may otherwise not have been discussed.\nShe also displays both positive and negative prints\, only suggesting\nfurther how our news is being shared with us and how it affects us\nupon seeing it. \nCarly Steward taking this concept into play in the most hands on\,\nphysical kind of way with her work Pages. Steward takes art history\nbooks and lands on an image that strikes her interest. She will then\ncut around the outside of the image leaving a shape in the frame of\nthe paper. From the cut out shape\, you are able to see the images\nfrom the following pages through the initial cutout. She will then\ncontinue this many layers deep\, perhaps passing on some images or\nonly cutting out a portion of that artist’s painting\, sculpture\, or\ndrawing from the book. When she is complete with the handiwork\nand craft portion of each book that she has dissected\, she will then\nphotograph the object making it whole again. Like Thompson\, she is\nallowing us to see insights of a history lived\, however fragmented\,\nbroken\, or inconclusive it may be. By photographing them at the end\nof the project\, she is trying to present to us a history that has been\npatched together – a history that we may only have gotten bits and\npieces of depending on the person telling the story and that this is\nthe history we are to move forward with. \nBuilding on this idea of the history that we know and the history that\nhas been laid out before us\, Cathy Akers most recent series Open\nHearts\, Open Land explored three current communes here in the\nUnited States. She collaged together historical images with\nphotographs she took while living at\, and\, visiting these communes\nfor this project. The viewer can feel the tension of her splicing\ntogether these images\, the past and the present\, as well as the\ntension of her being an outsider in an environment built upon\nrevolutionary zeal and community. Akers admits that while she\ntogether these images\, the past and the present\, as well as the\ntension of her being an outsider in an environment built upon\nrevolutionary zeal and community. Akers admits that while she\nrespects and understands the ideals that these communities were\ncreated upon\, they don’t quite account for the changes within the\ncurrent social and political landscape. \nThe five solo exhibitions will be displayed in the main lobby and\ncorridors of The Edouard de Merlier Photography Gallery\, located\njust outside the Photography Department at Cypress College\,\nbeginning on Thursday\, September 14\, 2017 through November 22.\nThe show will be open Monday-Friday 9am-7pm and is free to both\nstudents and the general public. Parking is available at 9200 Valley\nView Street\, Cypress\, CA 90630 with Lots 1\,2\, or 3 closest to the\nTechnical Education Building 1. You will find the gallery located on\nthe second floor of TE1. \nTo see more from each of these artists\, please visit their websites.\nwww.cathyakers.com\nwww.ginnycook.net\nhttp://julie-shafer.com/home.html\nwww.carlysteward.com\nwww.kristinethompson.com
