Join us this Thursday, November 6th from 5:30 - 7:30pm, for the opening reception for Keeping Time!

The gallery is painted a beautiful Benjamin Moore historical color (Templeton Gray) and the work is on the walls. Today, I finish the labels and clean up.  All of the artists are great and I am very proud of them and the show. If you are not in town, you can poke around the special online component (which includes an essay, statements, and all images) and wait for our flickr images to be posted. A caveat, with work ranging from Harper’s 40 x 50 inch prints to McCaw’s one-of-a-kind burned paper negatives, the work is so much more in person.

ABOUT THE SHOW: This group exhibition brings together photographers who deal with concepts of time, duration, and cycles—human, celestial, and photographic—in their work. From its beginnings, photography has been lauded as nature capturing itself and as a method with which to stop, pause, preserve, and contemplate time. In creating their work, each artist in Keeping Time uses a different idea or aesthetic means to capture time and bookend or collect their exposures.Artists include Stuart Allen (TX), Erika Blumenfeld (TX), Rebecca Cummins (WA), Sharon Harper (MA), Chris McCaw (CA), Matthew Pillsbury (NY), Byron Wolfe (CA).
