The Colorado Photographic Arts Center presents Elemental Construction, an exhibition of works by 10 photographers who explore the medium of collage.

At its most basic, collage is the assemblage of different materials to create a new whole. Materials can come from books, magazines, found imagery, the Internet, or virtually anywhere, creating limitless opportunities for artists.

Increasingly, photographers are embracing digital software and source materials to create work that pushes the boundaries of the medium. This exhibit takes a fresh look at how photographers today use collage to deconstruct and reconstruct narratives using a mix of new, digital technologies and more traditional approaches.

Angela Faris Belt Artist Talk
PhotoVox - March 13, 6:30-8pm

Angela Faris Belt’s solo exhibition Vestiges, is a visual meditation on humankind's influence on nature, created over several visits to a unique grove of Bristlecone Pine trees near her home in the Colorado mountains. This series was photographed throughout 2015-17 using Polaroid Type 665 positive-negative film that expired in 1986. The visual implications of the expired film—its imperfections and truncated tonal range—juxtaposed with the unique Bristlecone Pine forms, underscores the steadfast value of the past, and a sense of unease as we move into a future where industry and technology supersede our adopting a balanced place in the natural world.

The exhibition Nest is a celebration of the beautiful, creative chaos of Rhinoceropolis and of Colin Ward who embodied the spirit of Rhino in his 24/7 art and music output.

"We ( the artists involved ), believe that many environments in public space are designed with apathy and ignorance to the vivid imagination of human beings and nature. The public are largely unaware or naive to the fact that we are walking around inside the financial elites' program, which is many times void of any imaginative intention ; only driven by the desire to keep the few in control of all resources. Holding the imagination hostage and hiding the possibilities of beauty and alchemical architectural design from the masses keeps many people unaware of the creative and infinite potential of their selves as individuals and communities. Creativity is the greatest rebellion " Colin Ward

#Rhinoceropolis

How can images influence our perception of things we have not experienced? Viewers are invited to explore the power of photography as a way to tell a story, to impart understanding or to stand in for another’s experience in Gravity of Perception at the Center for Visual Art beginning January 11, 2019. The exhibition features the work of 7 photo-based artists – Krista Wortendyke, Lorenzo Triburgo, Xaviera Simmons, Zora Murff, Kris Graves, Marcella Ernest and Tya Anthony – all who reflect on the past by reclaiming and re-contextualizing visual archives, both appropriated and newly created archives. These visual investigations confront themes of oppression and institutionalized discrimination, offering moments for reflection and space to envision a future where equality thrives.

“This exhibition is inspired, in part, by the writing of Frederick Douglass who recognized that photography held the power to change a viewer’s thinking,” says Cecily Cullen, Director and Curator of CVA. “Gravity of Perception provides a profound opportunity for viewers to not only experience the impact of these images but to contemplate how they may shift our perspective and invite empathy.”

In Gravity of Perception, each artist has utilized archives in different ways. Xaviera Simmons, Zora Murff, Marcella Ernest and Tya Anthony all incorporate archival images directly into their work to confront history and question what we have learned or have yet to learn from the past. While Kris Graves and Lorenzo Triburgo create images to establish a record of our present time, creating new archives. Conceptual artist, Krista Wortendyke, creates data driven installations from appropriated, archival imagery to examine how oversaturation of imagery may blunt our ability to viscerally connect with what we are seeing.

Visitors to Gravity of Perception will have ample opportunity to explore and react themselves. CVA will offer a variety of programming including artist talks, gallery tours and workshops throughout the exhibition where visitors will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their observations. Viewers will also be invited to reflect on and define the exhibition in their own words via interactive stations throughout the gallery.

“We hope this exhibition will encourage our audiences to explore challenging subjects and provide a platform for discussion of diversity, cultural awareness and equality,” says Cullen.

Gravity of Perception opens January 11 and continues through March 23, 2019. There will be an opening reception on January 11 from 6 - 8 pm. Gravity of Perception is organized by the Center for Visual Art and the Center for Fine Art Photography and is curated by Cecily Cullen, Hamidah Glasgow and Natascha Seideneck. Special thanks to the MSU Denver of Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

About the Artists:

Tya Anthony draws from nostalgia, photographs acquired online and images from her extensive archive of family photographs. Her work in this exhibition explores the intersections of past and contemporary culture while creating a space of autonomy and regard for bodies of color. Website | @mztya

Marcella Ernest is an Ojibwe artist who creates video using poetic imagery and abstract narratives. In her video work, “Because of Who I Am”, Ernest layers imagery and sound to convey the anxiety and pain of discrimination for one who dared to push back against cultural gender norms established within a tribal community. Website | @marcellakwe

Kris Graves is a photographer who documents the landscapes where black Americans have died at the hands of police. The neighborhoods, streetscapes and parks look calm with the only indication of the past violence revealed through memorial elements such as stuffed animals and flowers. Website | @kgprojects

Zora Murff’s photographic series, “Re-Making the Mark” prompts inquiry into how racial violence has been recorded through images, and how these same images can be used to interrupt collective belief. Website | @zorajmurff

Xaviera Simmons’ photographs in her Sundown series reflect on discriminatory sundown towns where Black Americans are not welcome after dark. The work brings to light systemic prejudices and re-contextualizes archival photos from the past within contemporary photographs. Simmons honors the resilience of black Americans who have suffered from discriminatory laws and policies, while drawing parallels to conditions today. Website | #xavierasimmons

Lorenzo Triburgo’s photo series, “Policing Gender”, examines mass incarceration from a queer perspective. The work alludes to the specific and intensified discrimination faced by prisoners who identify as LGBTQ. Triburgo supports this artwork by hosting workshops to lead participants in the act of becoming pen pals to LGBTQ-identifying prisoners as a way to provide support and a measure of safety to those prisoners. Website | @lorenzotriburgo

Krista Wortendyke’s photographs examine violence and society’s perception of violent events through the lens of data and contemporary art. Her artwork, “Mass Observation” compiles visual documentation of media representation of violence. This collection of imagery creates an archive of sorts and asks the viewer to consider if there is another way to perceive these events. Website

965 Project Gallery:
The 965 Project Gallery presents The Space Between. In this exhibition, MSU Denver photography students uncover narratives of lives that lie between categories; exposing the spaces between past and present, freedom and oppression, dreams and reality. Monique Archuleta confronts the Nation’s turbulent past through archive photos of the 1960s Chicano Civil Rights movement contrasted with images of the sites as they appear today. Olivia Garcia Escandon exemplifies the duality of being a Dreamer in America with dynamic portraits of Latinx students bisected by drastic shadows while posing in front of the United States flag. This exhibition was co-curated by Kristin Smith, 965 Student Curator and Natascha Seideneck, Assistant Professor of Art - Photography, MSU Denver. The 965 Project Gallery is a student-led space that provides premiere professional development opportunities to students interested in fine art curation and arts administration.

In conjunction with Denver’s Month of Photography, Robischon Gallery is pleased to present three concurrent solo exhibitions featuring David Maisel (CA), Kevin O’Connell (CO) and James Benning (CA). The artists’ attention toward both earth and sky, capture divergent aspects of their subjects - from Maisel’s bold, vertiginous, aerial overviews of industrially-altered landscapes, to O’Connell’s vast open fields, awaiting life-sustaining rain and the clouds that deliver it, to Benning’s seasonally changing views of backroads, smaller interstates and lonely highways through a lens of an unrelenting traveler of the contemporary open road.

From epic heights, the new and recent photographs exhibited in “Atlas” by acclaimed artist David Maisel, address globally shared cultural concerns as revealed in the five series on view; “Desolation Desert,” “The Lake Project,” “American Mine,” “Terminal Mirage” and “The Mining Project.” Focusing on sites primarily located in the United States, along with those most recently captured in South America, the complex and questionable politics of radically human-altered environments are unavoidably illuminated as Maisel presents the breathtaking drama of terrain which is designated as off-limits, quarantined or otherwise hidden from view. Noted artist Kevin O’Connell’s ongoing investigations of the northern and eastern plains of Colorado and Wyoming, offer subtle observations where the impact of humankind may be less apparent, as the artist calls into question the notion of discarded landscapes as well as the region’s precious, but diminishing rainfall. O’Connell’s exhibition title, “Petrichor,” refers to the recognizably pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain as it hits the soil after a long period of dry weather, as well as referencing the anticipation of such vitally important, watery relief. James Benning, legendary in the field of experimental filmmaking, offers “small roads,” a round trip journey from California to Louisiana, utilizing routes not typically highlighted or shown on interstate highway maps. Benning’s on-going contemplative investigation of the relationship between humankind and nature, quietly directs the viewers’ attention towards America’s long-standing dependency on automobiles. Collectively, each of the three artists exhibited locate the camera at the heart of their subjects, exposing in varied ways, a sense of humankind’s uneasy and discordant relationship with nature – one that both captivates its sublime or quiet beauty, while simultaneously reflecting the long view of a shared responsibility.

Amanda Wachob, Tattoo This
February 14 - May 19

Amanda Wachob and Adam Lerner in Conversation
February 20, 7p, Holiday Event Center

Vanguard tattoo artist Amanda Wachob uses a tattoo machine and ink to create art on canvas, paper, silk, fruit, and leather, in addition to human bodies. Inspired largely by modern painting, in 2008, she pioneered a unique tattoo style incorporating brushstrokes, washes, paint splatters and spills, commonly referred to as “watercolor technique.” During that time, she has also been using the tattoo machines and ink to push the boundaries of her field and make works for gallery walls. Wachob not only advances tattooing as an autonomous art form but also brings the medium into closer dialogue with the wider domain of art.

Born in Buffalo, Amanda Wachob studied photography at State University of New York, at Purchase. Among numerous gallery exhibitions, she has shown her work at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York and the New York Historical Society, and done projects with the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2015, Ad Age recognized her as one of the 50 “Most Creative People of the Year.” She lives and works in Brooklyn.

David B. Smith Gallery

Mikayla Whitmore
Magic Circle

March 29 - May 4, 2019

Opening March 29, 6-8p

David B. Smith Gallery is proud to present Magic Circle, a solo exhibition by Las Vegas-based photographer Mikayla Whitmore. Presented in the gallery's project room, Magic Circle taps into the lore of desert landscapes mingled with the art historical symbolism of the mirror. Functioning as both a tool of inward reflection and vehicle for story-telling, Whitmore's carefully placed mirrors echo untold narratives hidden in the desert sands.

Mikayla Whitmore’s main interest focuses on photography and installation – in particular, the overlap between both fields, specifically the phantom surrealism of the photographic image to explore the elusiveness of place, self-awareness, and memory. Her work explores the potential of the photographic medium and deconstructing the built-up facades she encounters in daily life. Selected exhibitions include Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art (NV), Torrence Art Museum (CA), and Humble Arts Foundation (NY). She currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.

David B. Smith Gallery is committed to presenting intelligent and culturally relevant exhibitions in its Denver location, featuring the region’s most important emerging talent alongside internationally recognized artists. The gallery also maintains an active publishing division, which produces exhibition catalogues and editions.

Reine Paradis, Midnight
March 1 - April 6, 2019
Opening Friday, March 1st 6-8pm

Reine Paradis constructs narrative photographs staging herself as the central figure in a surreal landscape. In the series Midnight, Paradis uses neon color contrasts of almost acidic yellow set in a saturated blue background to create her own fantastical world.

Maquettes of the scenes are sketched out before the photographs are shot, the artist then constructs and paints accessories and props to be used in each scene. Each scene is carefully staged and edited and the resulting photographs seem to reference pop art as well as carefully arranged film stills.

The Midnight series was created concurrently with a documentary film directed by Carl Lindstrom entitled “Queen of Paradis” which follows the artist across the US as she finds the perfect location for her colorful photographs.

Each scene is an adventure and a story in and of itself.

Special Film Screening !

Reception with the artist to follow

Denver photographer and photography educator Tom Finke creates social documentary photography focusing on the urban and natural environments of locations primarily in Japan and the United States. His sensitive and poetic work focuses on people and the places in which we live. In his book Japan: Footprints in Time 1997-2010, Finke explains, “As a photographer my chief interest is to observe fleeting facial expressions and the constantly changing placements and angles of bodies in space… All of us are signaling to one another all the time, both deliberately and involuntarily. My photographs are just another part of the constant ritual of communication in which we all participate.”

Month of Photography Lecture:
Susan Goldstein
Tuesday, March 12th

Reception with the artist to follow

Denver photographer Susan Goldstein began her photography career working for Denver Westword starting in the late 70s. She shifted the focus of her practice later in life working in both straight photography and photo-based collage. Inspired by collecting and interest in social commentary, much of Goldstein’s work explores ideas of absence and presence as well as the collision of past and present.

Evan Anderman
Tuesday, March 19th
7:00-8:30p Hamilton Building, Lower Level
Purchase tickets HERE or call 720.913.0130

Reception with the artist to follow

Denver photographer Evan Anderman’s experience as a geologist and pilot has greatly informed his photography. Using the Colorado landscape as his primary subject, Anderman’s work explores our relationship with and impact on the natural landscape, addressing issues that arise from land use for everything from agriculture and ranching to suburban sprawl and exploitation of natural resources. He explores these ideas through both abstract and representational compositions created from ground level and bird’s eye views highlighting the natural, the man-made and the juxtaposition of the two.

Alto Gallery opened in February 2016 in the Berkley neighborhood of Denver,CO. "Alto" means "high" in Spanish, and it's a reference not only to our "Mile High" locale, but to the heights for which we strive. While considering a long list of names, Alto was undergoing extensive remodeling that exposed our beautiful, high barreled wood ceiling . Altogether, the name fit.

In The Fold
Susan Blake, Basil Kincaid, Renluka Maharaj

March 22 - May 4, 2019
Opens March 22, 6-9pm

RULE Gallery is pleased to present In The Fold, a group exhibition in conjunction with Denver’s Month of Photography 2019 featuring Susan Blake, Basil Kincaid and Renluka Maharaj. The show will be presented at RULE Gallery, located at 530 Santa Fe Dr. Denver, CO and will open with a public reception on March 22 from 6-9pm. In The Fold will be on view through May 4, 2019.

In The Fold showcases three artists whose photographic work lies at the intersection of culture and identity, where fabric as subject holds memory at the forefront of their individual practice. Fabric can be seen as an impression of a figure or a stand-in for the remembrance of a loved one. It acts as a vehicle for a history, woven into each thread or sewn into an ancestral quilt. Susan Blake evokes her art historical background, referencing Baroque decadence through the use of drapery as fluid interplay between nature and artifice, transforming each scene into a contemporary landscape. The seductively arranged textiles draw the viewer into the natural world suggesting a deceptive human presence in a seemingly idealistic setting amidst preserved lands. Basil Kincaid examines the relationship of personal and cultural identity through the use of contextualized materials, stitching the disparate stories together into a unified quilt. These multilayered textile blocks are derived from the community, comprising of donated scraps or printed fabric made from his photographs of discarded elements in his environment. Additionally, these quilts cloak individuality in Kincaid’s more traditional photographic pieces, bringing emphasis to historical investigation of our shared experiences to a global level. Renluka Maharaj’s work presents elements of performance and installation through photography. Maharaj uses portraiture to explore the rich history and religion of her ancestors, focusing on the impact of colonialism and the contemporary placement of gender and sexuality of cross-cultural identity.

Subject & Surface
Kellye Eisworth and Forrest Lotterhos

March 15 – May 2, 2019
Opens March 15, 6–9pm

In Subject & Surface, artists Kellye Eisworth and Forrest Lotterhos engage with the body as a site of exploration. The artists draw on their own personal histories to create two distinct bodies of work investigating concepts of identity, agency, and vulnerability. In his short film phoria, Lotterhos draws from his experience as a trans man to offer an intimate look into the complex relationship between the body and the self through candid conversations with members of the trans community. Informed by her experience as a woman with prominent, visible scars, Eisworth’s Topographies of Pain is a series of photographs featuring “female” subjects who have been physically marked by their past while questioning the body’s role in the construction and performance of identity and gender. In Subject & Surface, these two intricate narratives intersect and diverge to form a dialogue that deepens the complexity and amplifies the resonance of both.

phoria
phoria is an intimate view of five AFAB (assigned female at birth) trans* people with dysphoria, re: chest. It was shot entirely on black and white 16mm film and hand processed. phoria started as a simple and straight forward idea about showcasing non-binary people and their bodies. It soon developed into a deep and intimate inquiry into identity, self, trans-ness, and the infinite and intricate complexities of transgender people and their experiences in life and existing within their bodies that they often times feel estranged to. www.achroous.space

Topographies of Pain
Mapping the geography of pain through markings on the body, Topographies of Pain grapples with the ethical implications of the act of looking and what it means to bear witness to the pain of others. At once both intimate and aggressive, this relationship is dependent on the willingness of both participants to see and be seen by the other. The photographs work to use this shared vulnerability as a point of connection, collapsing the distinction between self and other where the pain of revealing and the pain of looking at that which is revealed converge. www.kellyeeisworth.com

Evenings with the Moon
Wendi Schneider
March 1 - May 30, 2019
Opening Thursday, March 7, 6-9 pm

In Evenings with the Moon, artist Wendi Schneider contemplates the power of universal experiences to unify and find transcendence using the moon as muse. Printed on vellum or Japanese kozo and gilded with precious metals, the subjects echo the luminosity of their celestial inspiration. Schneider’s ethereal images of the night draw on the metaphor of darkness and light to express our collective longing for harmony and balance amidst the chaos of the world. This synthesis of form and content, paired with poignant poetry, allows the viewer to enter a space between the real and the imagined to consider the commonalities in our collective consciousness.

“Photography as a Vehicle for Empathy:
Images as Living Representations of the Experience of Others”
Panel Discussion March 7, 2019 at 6-7:30 pm
Susan Goldstein, Benjamin Rasmussen, Kristin Hatgi Sink, Roddy MacInnes moderated by Simon Zalkind

---------------------------------------------------

Showing (work x family), is a multi-screen photography installation featuring the work of 135 renowned American photographers. It will be on exhibit at the Art Gallery at the Fulginiti Pavilion for Bioethics and Humanities.

Showing (work x family) is an expansive, six-screen photography installation featuring an original soundscape and 186 photographs by 135 photographers from around the United States. Among the artists whose work is featured are Gay Block, Lauren Greenfield, Wing Young Huie, Zun Lee, Rania Matar, Greg Miller, Carlos Ortiz, Melissa Ann Pinney, Andrea Modica, Sylvia Plachy, Angela Strassheim, and Michael Wolf. Images are sequenced by a proprietary, controlled randomization algorithm and presented on a sculptural, translucent tensile structure (approximately 6’ high x 28’ long x 4.5’ wide) designed by Viemeister Industries, New York. The installation includes an original sound environment composed by musician, performance artist, and poet Alicia Jo Rabins. The order of the imagery follows the arc of the day, from before dawn to late at night.

Showing (work x family) reveals the intimate choreography—the push and pull of work and family—in our everyday life and explores a universal domestic balancing act that has no fixed dynamic. These photographs reveal the intimate routines of mealtimes and bedtimes, commutes and carpools, calendars and keys, school-day mornings and weekend chores, childcare and grandparent shifts, single-parent households and blended families. The photographers whose images are featured in the exhibition offer sensitive perspectives on work and family, ranging from small, beautiful moments of intimacy to raw expressions of daily tensions.

Photography and Compassionate Responsiveness

Panel Discussion March 7, 2019 gathering at 5pm, Panel runs 6p - 7:30p

Featured photographer panelists: Susan Goldstein, Benjamin Rasmussen, Kristin Hatgi Sink, Roddy MacInnes.
Panel Discussion moderated by The Art Gallery at the Fulginiti Curator Simon Zalkind

By its nature, photography can function as either art or document or both. From its early almost universal embrace as a “true” representation of persons and events, photography has – probably more so than any other medium – been used to evoke empathy in viewers. For more than a century, the photograph has been the most universally disseminated form of visual communication placing it in the vanguard of the transmission of socially committed and humanistic concerns and themes – race, gender, familial and domestic relationships, nation, class, war, industry, nature, historical consciousness, and technological change. In this panel, four local artists (Susan Goldstein, Benjamin Rasmussen, Kristin Hatgi, and Roddy MacInnes) whose work is centered on the evocation of “empathy” will engage with the moderator (Simon Zalkind) regarding their own work in both historical and current contexts. They will explore how and why the photograph has such a unique role in both empathic response and activist practice. The discussion will also make specific relationships and references to the images and themes in the exhibition, Showing (work x family. That exhibit is an expansive, six-screen installation featuring 186 photographs from over one hundred US artists. The exhibit reveals the intimate choreography of our everyday lives and explores the domestic balancing act with images of mealtimes, bedtimes, commutes, carpools, calendars, and chores.
Attendees are encouraged to arrive at 5:00 to view the exhibition prior to the panel discussion.

ABIDE
Photographic Portraits of Local Holocaust Survivors

The Mizel Museum, in partnership with Paul Docktor, M.D. and the Holocaust Awareness Institute at the University of Denver, present a new exhibit in its rotating gallery entitled Abide, a series of photographic portraits of local Holocaust survivors by DU photographer Wayne Armstrong.

Each of the survivors has a story to tell, one that makes important connections between the past and present, teaching timeless lessons about resilience, courage, human dignity and living without hatred.

Armstrong’s conceptual style and staged perspective yield a series of survivor portraits that is fresh and uncommon, bringing their stories to life and educating visitors on the importance of combating hatred and bigotry in the world.

Jack Ludlam: Imaginary waters and
Coleman Mummery: Everyone Is Evil and i’m Evil 2

April Exhibition Opening event
Saturday April 6th, 2019 6-11pm
Exhibitions will run through the end of April

In the front gallery

Jack Ludlam: Imaginary Waters

DATELINE in proud to present in conjunction with the Month of Photography Jack Ludlam: Imaginary waters. This exhibition of large scale black and white photographs focusing on the interactive and impactful qualities of coastal work life while living and working in a landlocked state. Taking time to remember and research these interactions between man, object, and nature in an attempt to capture and recreate them from afar by referencing memories from the artists time spent along the coast of the Pacific Northwest. In this way the body of work that is Imaginary Waters becomes a reference point of nostalgia and a storyline of impactful moments and processes that he has been lucky enough to witness or take a small part in. He firmly believes that rather than increasing mass production, cheap prices, and convenience we as a community can look those these people for inspiration and guidance.

Jack Ludlam is a photographer from Denver, Colorado. He found his love for photography in college and his interest in subject matter almost instantly shifted towards documenting daily life while working on farms in Ohio. During several summers of working the land he learned the true meaning of hard labor and its rewards from an extremely under appreciated group of people: the proletariat. Ludlam is ever expanding his body of work by traveling to, and studying various fields of manual labor across the U.S. in order to represent and the beauty of the proletariat and the equipment they work with.

In the project space

Coleman Mummery: Everyone Is Evil and i’m Evil 2

DATELINE welcomes Coleman Mummery as the first artist in our new project space.

Coleman Mummery is a Post-Internet artist working in a variety of media including video, sculpture and computer generated 3-D Modeling. Mummery is from Cody, Wyoming and currently lives and works in Denver, Colorado. He is a past resident of the Rhinoceropolis D.I.Y. venue and was curator of the Post-internet art exhibition LighteLite Coin in conjunction with The Wrong Digital Art Biennale which occurred last Year at DATELINE.

Lyle Owerko
The Boombox Project
March 8th, 2019- April 5th, 2019
Opening March 8th, 6-9p, Artist in Attendance

Winner of the Hasselblad Masters Award, Lyle Owerko is a New York based photographer. Known for his seminal photographs of the September 11th attack, which included the iconic cover shot of the burning towers on the cover of TIME Magazine. His imagery is part of the permanent collection of the Library of Congress, as well were published as singular volume of historical record in "And No Birds Sang" (Wonderlust Publishing, 2002). Owerko is also the author of "The Boom Box Project" (Abrams, 2010), featuring an introduction by Spike Lee - the book focuses on the seminal sonic object that defined a generation producing the first overview of the history of the Boombox in all of it's bombastic glory. Owerko first broke on to the art scene with his "Samburu" project featuring black-and-white portraits of an isolated, nomadic people in Northern Kenya, who remain mostly untouched by the Western world. Owerko's breathtaking photographs of one of the last warrior tribe's still in existence are stark and fiercely beautiful, each dissociative portrait of the tribe, reflecting their pride, calm, and remoteness. Owerko’s most recent project "The Mongolian Eagle Hunters” focuses on a dynamic group of pastoralists who live in the remote valleys of the Altai Mountains in the country's far west. Inhabiting one of the fiercest climates on the planet, Eagle Hunters define the edge between both warrior and nomad. Existing in equal symbiosis between Horse, Eagle, Man and Earth. To be an 'Eagle Hunter' is not merely a title to the Mongolians (of this most distinct environment), it is truly a holistic way of life that goes back to the times of Genghis Khan. Part anthropology, part fine art these projects stand alone in their execution and study of of human nature. Simultaneously magnificent and unsettling, Owerko’s meticulous images act as a historical record people's whose way of life is rapidly disappearing in the face of social upheaval, ecological shifts and the onslaught of rapidly changing cultural development.

Lyle Owerko
A photojournalist, artist, and filmmaker, Lyle Owerko has documented a diverse range of subjects, from urban skateboarders to members of Kenya’s Samburu tribe. However, his most iconic image is the 2001 photograph 'The Second Plane', capturing Flight 175 as it struck the second tower of the World Trade Center on September 11th. The image appeared on the cover of the September 14th, 2001 issue of Time magazine, an iconic document and a historical record of a national tragedy. Often working with human rights organizations, such as Charity:Water and the United Nations Millennium Promise, Owerko’s work frequently merges art with a social mission. His contribution to urban history is known as "The Boombox Project”, which began in 2005 as documentation of vintage portable stereos. In 2010, Abrams Image published a book of those photos, which included a foreword by Spike Lee. Owerko’s work is included in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress and has been exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among other notable galleries and institutions.

Station 16 Denver showcases innovative artwork and features an international roster of artists influenced by urban art and graffiti. Located at the heart of the thriving RiNo Art District creative scene, S16 Gallery also offers unique events, along with limited-edition prints and a host of curated and exclusive art pieces that further engage audiences.

UNDERCURRENTS: Fault Lines

March 22 – April 7, 2019
Opening Friday, March 22, 6-10p
Friday, March 29, 6-10p, Artist in Attendance, Susan Goldstein

The photographs in UNDERCURRENTS have been described as “taking the temperature” of the United States.

Traveling by car and looking for images is a bit like eavesdropping on a conversation or looking through a stranger’s window. Without staying in a place for a period of time it is impossible to gain a deep understanding of the issues facing a community. However, it is possible to document visual clues that offer insight about the state of a place, the concerns of the residents and the hopes and sometimes failed dreams of those inhabitants. One universal theme encountered in every state is patriotism, expressed in different ways, by the use of red, white and blue.

Goldstein’s art practice includes a history of addressing political issues through images and installation. Many of the photographs in UNDERCURRENTS are inherently political. This is not an exhibit about the current President and administration, but many of the images tell part of the story of how the country has become so fractured and divided. Ironically the subjects in some of the photographs act both to unify as well as divide depending upon the viewer’s perspective.

Micro Galaxies in the Everyday
Diane Allison
Opening March 1st, 5-9pm

40 W Studios is hosting Denver native Diane Allison's most recent large scale Micro Galaxies in the Everyday. These works showcase the unseen or unnoticed microcosms that surround us. Her interest in natural phenomenons, clouds, sunsets, sunlight led her to closer examination into the infinitesimal. After her recent CRUSH Walls involvement, she grew to love wheat pasting, and began a new technique involving bringing the pasteup process indoors and moveable.

The 40W Studios will be open for the first Friday of March from 5-9 in conjunction with the Month of Photography and there will be a district wide and wildly popular Mardi Gras Party in which all of the studio artists will be in attendance. Mandy Scott, Kathy Mitchell-Garton, Rich Chamberlain, Richard Eversley, and Sarah Deangelo will have photographs on display at 40W Studios as well.

Delirium
Tya Alisa Anthony
March 8 – April 5, 2019
Opening March 8, 4-8pm
Rotunda Gallery

Delirium is a state of acute temporary confusion making it difficult to think, remember, sleep, pay attention, and express oneself verbally. Delirium may last a few hours, as long as several weeks, or in some cases, several months. According to medical diagnosis, delirium is usually caused by alcohol withdrawal, after major surgery, or as a by product of dementia. In the case of reflecting on our current state of the division of society, resurgence of racism and the Presidential Administration of the United States, delirium due to dismay may last for the next two to six years or longer. Depending on the actual cause of the delirium, treatment may include but is not limited to elimination of usage of specific media outlets who provide the distribution of subversive and counterproductive information. Dealing with the daily dismay of social media timelines that have lead to a wide variety of fractured relationships, friendships, and actual political progress, Delirium allows participants to visually express their anxiety through performance photography and collage. Do not worry, full recovery from delirium is possible with the appropriate treatment. It can take up to a few weeks for you to think, speak, and feel physically like yourself. One might have side effects from social media withdrawal methods used to treat this condition.

Tya Alisa Anthony explores themes of Identity through photography, mined media and charged objects. Anthony’s Identity focused works offer exploration in both the shared and diverse experiences of Contemporary Western Culture while approaching socially illuminated topics involving people of color. The core of Anthony’s experimental work exists within research, collage and abstract performance. As an integral component of her tactile studio practice, Anthony draws from nostalgia, photographs and media acquired online and images removed from her extensive archive of family photographs. It is Anthony’s intention to create works that explore the intersections of contemporary culture while creating a space of autonomy and regard for bodies of color.

Anthony received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 2015, (SUMMA CUM LAUDE) honored as Valedictorian, from Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design. Presently, Anthony lives and works in the city of Denver, producing photography + fine art installations for both commissions and exhibition. Tya is currently a TANK Studios artist, 2018 Redline Residency Artist and serves on the Advisory Board for Leon Gallery, a non-profit gallery and creative space dedicated to mentoring emerging artists across multiple disciplines, along with the Board of Tilt West, a non-profit dedicated to fostering critical dialog in art and culture in Denver.

The Project Salon

A Portland Photography Forum

Mark Danley, Ellen Stauder, Alice Walker

Opening March 1, 2019 from 6-10p

Runs through March

The purpose of The Project Salon, founded and facilitated by the distinguished photographer Charles Purvis (www.charlespurvisphoto.com), is to bring together a group of photographers who each want to create a body of work–an exhibition, a book, or portfolio–over an extended period to time. In bi-weekly meetings, members present their ongoing work to the group and both receive and offer constructive reflection concerning subject, process, narrative, editing and final form.

While the individuals in the group have wide-ranging experience and interests, they share a passion and commitment to the medium of photography and to supporting one another in their development as photographers.

Mark Danley
"Portraits from a Forgotten Place -- Freetown following Ebola"
Sierra Leone is one of the most compromised places on earth...these portraits show the humanity underneath civil war, Ebola, and a staggeringly inept political and economic system. The people of Freetown remain generous and stoic, finding ways of transcending the chaos that threatens their very existence.

Ellen Stauder
“First Seeing”
I make abstract photographs of botanical subjects in order to explore the reciprocal relationship between my body and the natural world by transforming the plant world from objects into feelings. Each time I encounter a tree or flower, my understanding of that form is reshaped and deepened; likewise, through repeated experimentation with the photographic medium, especially the compositional use of light and shadow, abstraction and framing, I aim to give the viewer a sense of immediate bodily proximity to and intimacy with the object and thus the feeling of seeing it as if for the first time.

Alice Walker
"What is Unique?" Street Photography from Amsterdam’s Gay Pride

Articular: An exploration in lenticular
and stereoscopic imagery
Anthony Camera and Andrew Novick

Closing Party: Saturday, March 23rd 1 p.m.-7 p.m.

Photographers Anthony Camera and Andrew Novick each explore the possibilities and limits of 3D and flip-style autostereoscopic lenticulars as well as stereoscopic representations of the same images with View-Masters®. The lenticular technique involves looking at multiple interlaced images through a plastic lens which exploits subtle parallax viewing angles to see different images. It is interesting to examine this alternate form of photography because it is an in-person experience. In the age where most experiences are relayed to the world instantly through social media, this slows things down and requires viewing it in person.

Anthony and Andrew have been shaking up photography in Denver for many years. Anthony specializes in editorial and advertising photography. His work has appeared in Westword, 5280, The Denver Post and several national publications. He often does first Friday Portrait Parade photoshoots with passers-by. Andrew is a highly recreational photographer and is also a collector, filmmaker, former rock-star and proprietor of FUN.

Deconstruction

March 14 - April 14, 2019
Opens March 14, 6-9pm

Koko Bayer, Jason Bye, Leah Diament, Katherine Phenna, Joe Addison, Tania Kaaz, Jody Akers, Bill Westheimer, Leah Diament, Jason Bye, Sharifa Moore, and Gary Reed present

Deconstruction, an exhibition of works by 8 alternative process photographers dismantling traditional and modern modes of photography in the first official exhibit at Altieri Studios.

Deconstruction visually breaks down the discussion of modern photography, exploring the ever-changing answer to the question, What is a photograph? Combining historic, archaic, modern, and experimental processes, each of the artists in Deconstruction test the constraints of “Photography”.

Aesthetically, the idea of Deconstruction is interpreted by each artist differently. From using destructive elements in the developing and printing stages to visually breaking down an image to monochrome and lines, the idea of deconstruction is explored in depth through compositionally vivid imagery.

As the images question our traditional beliefs and our process of arriving to them, it lends us an opportunity, in a state of openness, to question other belief systems and how we arrived there. As Derrida suggested, perhaps one idea or thought is not better than the next, perhaps all ideas are complex and come with both advantages and pitfalls. With that understanding we have a better chance of seeing commonalities between these images and the people around us.

The opening will be followed by a series of events and workshops every weekend, centered around alternative processes and bringing the photographic community together.

Workshops:
March 16, 11am-3pm: Chemigram Workshop ($40)
March 30 & 31, 11am - 3pm: Paper Negative Workshop ($40)
April 7, 11am- 3pm: Cyanotype Workshop ($40)

Meet the Artist & Community Respite, March 22, 5-9pm
First Friday Closing, April 5, 5-9pm

Spring brings up visions of road trips and the desire to travel. For this year's Month of Photography Exhibit, we invited three of our favorite artists to document the theme of Roadside Attractions. Our teaching artist, Josiah Lopez, is best known for his large-scale murals around the Denver metro area, but we decided to focus on his more intimate black and white photos of his movements around the country. Ted Tahquechi is an artist who is blind and primarily known for his work around the landscape of the body, but this go round, Ted focused his lens on his budding relationship with his first seeing eye dog. Lastly, in the Studio Gallery, we feature one of our favorite partners and collaborators - The Wayfairing Band and photos of its director Andrea Moore. This amazing group takes inclusive trips around the world introducing the love of travel to people with disabilities. These snapshots are very much from the road and feature a new look at those roadside attractions we tend to drive by.

Access Gallery is an inclusive nonprofit organization that engages the community by opening doors to creative and educational opportunities for people with disabilities to access and experience the arts.

John Boak
Paintings

March 1 - March 31, 2019
Opens March 8, 2019

John Boak will be showing oil paintings and photographic digital paintings at 808PROJECTS on Santa Fe Drive during the month of March. Boak has been working with photography in his paintings for many years. His recent oil paintings explore the position of the photograph in our perception of “real” images. His use of paint to render his blurred source photos creates a realism of the unconscious. You may know what you are looking at. The drawing and form are forceful. But clarity is occasional. Divergence is the subject.

His digital paintings are also built on photographs. In contrast to the oil paintings, these pieces do use photographic focus to engage the eye. His brushwork joins disparate imagery and releases the viewer from the photographic sense of a specific place in the world of things. Feeling precedes resolution.

John Boak is a graduate of Yale University. He has been collected and commissioned for public art in Colorado and nationally for many years.

Gwen Laine “Of Light and Wind.”
Gwen Laine regularly steps over photographic boundaries to make her art. For her latest series she chose a natural setting near water and welcomed the presence of wind creating movement, because both would contribute to complex reflected lighting. Each light-capturing negative composed a unique palette of colors from which Laine created new artworks by extending hues as single-pixel lines. Referencing the day and time the photo was taken, she plotted the jet stream over her location in Colorado and laid it over her negatives as a guide to select and order colors. Laine readily lost herself in the subsequent process of executing the sequence of parallel lines, building up tiny increments of 100 per inch over long periods of time — a marked difference from the 60th of a second caught on film.

Laine’s combination of traditional photographic methods and the resolution and scale afforded by current technology allows her to dive deep, pulling out seemingly infinite color nuances. By using straight, narrow lines, she emphasizes the relationship of one color next to another without sacrificing the intensity of any individual hue. The compositions are evocative luminous encounters in which gradation, contrast, and the coolness or warmth of hues suggest tonal variation or light-and-shadow relationships which resonate within us. Through her elaborate distillations of micro-environments, Laine provides both unmediated physical and visual experiences transmitted by colors in which all the senses are encoded, replacing distance with immersion.

MWC presents contemporary artwork with emphasis on materials and process. The gallery also showcases artists in the additional viewing rooms of the gallery. MWC consigns an extensive collection of fine art prints from career artists practicing all over the world.

3631: A Solo Cycling Journey Across America
Randall Sampson
February 22 - March 22, 2019
Artist Reception February 22, 6-8:30pm

(Denver) Lawyer, amateur photographer, and erstwhile ceramics and metal artist, Randall Sampson hadn’t owned a bicycle for almost a quarter-century when, in the summer of 2017, he purchased a used road bike and rekindled his long-dormant love of cycling during frequent round-trip rides between his Denver home and Boulder. With his planned 2018 retirement in mind, that initial reintroduction to cycling was followed by the purchase of a touring bike, trips to the gym, and the development of plans for a coast-to-coast solo cycling adventure. The upcoming exhibit, “3631: A Solo Cycling Journey Across America” chronicles his trip to the lonely reaches of the northern United States and Ontario, Canada via photographs and written narrative. It will be on view from February 22 – March 22, 2019 at Niza Knoll Gallery, 915 Santa Fe Drive, in conjunction with the state-wide, Month of Photography celebration. The public is invited to an Artist Reception on Thursday, Feb 22 from 6-8:30 and to view the show during regular Winter Hours, 1 to 4 pm Wednesday through Saturday, First and Third Friday, 4 to 8 pm.

Sampson’s journey began alone on August 1, 2018, at the ferry terminal in Anacortes, Washington, and ended, after traveling the northern United States and Ontario, Canada, including the Cascade mountains of Washington, the northern plains, the upper Midwest, the north shore of Lake Erie, the Erie Canal, New England and more, exactly 75 days later, in Portland, Maine, among friends.

Sampson takes us along on his travels through his photographs and supplementary narrative excerpts that feature insights and anecdotes. Unlike past expeditions, he purposefully did not have professional camera equipment in tow—only his iPhone camera. It’s important for the viewer to remember that Sampson embarked on this journey not as an artistic endeavor, but rather as a life endeavor or “bucket-list” item. He hopes that the photographs in this exhibition are enhanced and informed by, rather than diminished by, this knowledge and thus are received in the spirit of chronicling a small, but very meaningful, sliver of his life. Given the context of a bike-trip, most images are the product of a very brief stop on the shoulder of a road. Many—perhaps better—photographs not taken, were lost to real or perceived pressures of time, the lack of safety in the moment, or a reluctance, say, to interrupt the hard work of slogging up a mountain pass.

Randall Sampson served as an attorney in the public sphere until his retirement in May of 2018. He fed his artistic side over the years with photography and the creation of metal and ceramic art, for a time, exhibiting his work as part of The Mix Co-op in the back of Niza Knoll Gallery. Upon announcing his bike trip, he was encouraged to start a blog, so others could follow his travels. Despite his hesitations with the technology of blogging, and the often self-aggrandizing nature of social media, his love of writing and his belief in the "value of voice” prevailed.” He is proud to share his "small" voice, knowing that not everyone feels empowered to use theirs. Visit www.randallsampson.com to read full blog posts.

Niza Knoll Gallery opened in the Art District on Santa Fe in 2009 at 915 Santa Fe drive. The gallery specializes in intriguing conceptual exhibits, hosts first and third Friday events, monthly salons, private concerts and guest speakers. Past exhibits have included unusual artist pairings, outsider art, collaborative work, thought provoking thematic exhibits of artists using non-traditional media. Through a partnership with Kingman Winery the space serves a tasting room for their fine Colorado wines and is proud to offer their wine for sale during art walks and other special events.

Transitions: Photo Journeys of Change and Passage

Opening February 23, 5–8pm

Exhibiting Artists:
Jody Akers, Elane Graves, Charles Jamison, Patrick O’Toole, Chuck Rasco, Scott Redmond, Darren Schultz, & the 2018 CPAC Veterans Workshop Series participants

The VFW Post 1 Veterans Arts Council is collaborating with the Colorado Photographic Arts Center to announce an exhibition of Veterans work during Month of Photography.

Open to public on First Friday Art Walks (March 1 & April 5, 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm) and Third Friday Art Walks March 15 & April 19 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm)

Transitions: Photo Journeys of Change and Passage

The Veterans Arts Council at VFW Post 1 will exhibit the work of seven veterans that explores the transition from service to photography during the 2019 Denver Month of Photography in collaboration with the Colorado Photographic Arts Center’s Veterans Workshop Series.

Transition can be defined as the process of changing or developing. Transitions are also how chapters of a book or musical verse are linked together. This is a process that all veterans deal with when they leave military service regardless of branch or time served. All veterans transition from a heavily structured lifestyle to a new way of living where there are many options and paths to take.

This exhibit looks at how photography plays a role in the transition of eight veterans from the military and how their personal photographic journey developed. For the veterans in this exhibit the link between chapters in their life is photography. Each veteran’s story and process is different. They range from the stars to the ocean; from nature to architecture; from self-taught to formally educated. Regardless, each individual has a camera in hand, which becomes the common denominator. The photographs in this exhibit explore the paths that each of these photographers has taken, and celebrates the diversity of photography and where it can lead a person.

Clifford Hawkes, photographer, will be the featured artist for the month of March at the Artists on Santa Fe Gallery.

I will never forget the first time, in high school biology class, staring through the lens of a microscope, I saw the fantastic world that exists in a tiny drop of pond water. Ever since that day, I have been fascinated and mesmerized by water. It forever changed how I feel and approach the natural world. When I photograph nature and especially water, I am transported into a place of contemplation and peace.

Retrospective on Bears Ears National Monument

February 1 - February 28, 2019
Opening February 1, 6-9pm

History of Bears Ears National Monument
On December 28, 2016, President Barack Obama declared 1,351,849 acres of land rich with 100,000 cultural sites in southeast Utah to be Bears Ears National Monument. the designation stretched from Moab, Utah to the north down to Mexican hat, Utah and bluff, Utah on the southern border. the narrow strip on the northern end of the designation is bordered on the west by canyon lands national park. as canyon lands national park ends, the monument designation expands westward, including the dark canyon wilderness, cedar mesa and the bears ears buttes which give the monument its name. the original designation came about as a collaboration between federal politicians, Utah politicians and the bears ears inter-tribal coalition – a consortium of tribal leaders of the Hopi tribe, Navajo nation, Ute mountain Ute tribe, Pueblo of Zuni, and Ute Indian tribe – all who have ancestral ties to the region.

On December 4, 2017 President Donald Trump reduced the designation by 85% to two smaller areas, comprising a total of 201,876 acres. These two smaller monuments – the Shash Jaa and Indian Creek National Monuments – have boundaries defined by president trump based on recommendations from Utah senator Orrin hatch and no input from the Native Americans who helped define the original boundaries. the Indian Creek unit contains a small strip of land at the southeast corner of canyon lands national park, (parts of the northern portion of the original designation) while the Shash Jaa unit is comprised primarily of a small strip of land at the southern border of the original designation containing the butler wash and mule canyon locations. the name Shash Jaa, as given by politicians, is controversial. the term means “bears ears” in Navajo but is reserved for use by the diné. (“the people” of the Navajo nation) as such, it is viewed as divisive by the other tribes with ties to the area.

In reducing the original monument’s designation, the government has planned to offer an old-west, gold rush-style land grab for civilians and corporations to lease the land – a “claim” is made by pounding stakes into the four corners of your claim - up to twenty acres per claim, and a $212 processing fee. after making a claim and paying the processing fee, an annual maintenance fee of $150 is required.

There are over 300 uranium mining claims located within the original monument boundaries – the vast majority of those claims are located outside the reduced boundaries. energy fuels, a Canadian uranium producer, owns many of those claims. energy fuels, and many other uranium mining corporations as well as gas and oil drilling corporations lobbied hard for the reduction so that the land would be opened up to mining and drilling.

Colorado Photographic Arts Center Presents:

Vestiges: Angela Faris Belt
February 23 – March 30, 2019
Opening Reception March 6, 2019 6-8pm

Angela Faris Belt Artist Talk
PhotoVox - March 13, 6:30-8pm

Angela Faris Belt’s solo exhibition Vestiges, is a visual meditation on humankind's influence on nature, created over several visits to a unique grove of Bristlecone Pine trees near her home in the Colorado mountains. This series was photographed throughout 2015-17 using Polaroid Type 665 positive-negative film that expired in 1986. The visual implications of the expired film—its imperfections and truncated tonal range—juxtaposed with the unique Bristlecone Pine forms, underscores the steadfast value of the past, and a sense of unease as we move into a future where industry and technology supersede our adopting a balanced place in the natural world.

Shared Horizons: Photographs
Kevin Hoth, Melissa Lynn, and Natascha Seideneck
April 2019 – July 2019

This exhibition at the Colorado State Capitol includes images from three Colorado-based photographers, Kevin Hoth, Melissa Lynn, and Natascha Seideneck. Selected works will be on display at the Colorado State Capitol, including the Lieutenant Governor's Office, basement rotunda, and Legislative Council staff offices.

Kevin Hoth is a photographer whose current work focuses on perception and the manner in which multiple spaces can be formed into a singular frame. Kevin’s work has been shown in over eighty exhibitions nationally and internationally including most recently The Houston Center for Photography, The Center for Fine Art Photography (Fort Collins, CO), The Colorado Photographic Arts Center (Denver, CO), and online in Humble Arts Foundation New York’s Year in Reverse. Kevin has taught graphic design, multimedia art, and photography at numerous universities and currently teaches at the University of Colorado Boulder.

This exhibition features works from Kevin’s series, “Everything and All at Once.” This series began with the quest to show the expansive space all around in a single two-dimensional image. Using a mirror in the landscape to join the space behind with the space in front, Kevin created a temporary landscape that exists only in the captured image. Natural spaces without overt human intervention act as an antidote to our man-made world of information overload. The mirror can serve to unify space, but it also shows how we are sensing these places as visual fragments.

After more than a decade in New York City working as a professional documentary and portrait photographer, Melissa Lynn now lives in Denver, Colorado where she continues to pursue her artistic passions as a fine art photographer. Her current projects explore heritage, identity, and multiculturalism. Her interest in other cultures grew from her own experience as a Caucasian-American woman married to an Indian man. Melissa’s photographs have been exhibited in numerous prestigious museums and galleries around the world. Her work has also received many awards in galleries and international photography competitions.

Melissa’s “American Mosaic” series celebrates the beauty of America’s rich multicultural heritage. Photographs in the series were taken at cultural festivals in Colorado, where heritage and traditions are honored and passed down through generations.

Natascha Seideneck is currently a Visiting Interim Professor of Art and Photography Area Coordinator at MSU Denver. Natascha holds a BFA with a concentration in photography from MSU Denver and a MFA, with emphasis in photography and digital media, from The School for the Museum of Fine Arts/Tufts University, Boston. Her work is interdisciplinary; often engaging in experimental processes that integrate still and time based visual technologies. Projects include a public art commission for Denver International Airport and Colorado State University’s Behavioral Science Building.

Natascha Seideneck’s series, “Horizons,” seeks to represent portholes and plane windows inspired by experiences of voyages. The imagery consists of appropriated travel snapshots from the Internet, satellite images and photos captured out of plane windows.

The art exhibition program, Creative Capitol, celebrates Colorado artists by displaying rotating art exhibitions at the State Capitol. Exhibitions are sponsored by Colorado Creative Industries, a division of the Office of Economic Development and International Trade. Colorado Creative Industries exists to manage the opportunity for the creative sector to complement economic development in Colorado. The mission of Colorado Creative Industries is to promote, support and expand the creative industries to drive Colorado’s economy, grow jobs and enhance our quality of life.

DAVA (Downtown Aurora Visual Arts)

Edible
March 21 - June 7, 2019
Opening March 21, 4-7pm

Edible is an exhibition packed full of nutrition for the mind and body. DAVA Youth present arts-based approaches to healthy lifestyles, including photography, drawing, digital media, dance and indoor farming. Guest artist Travis Vermilye will exhibit drawings alongside DAVA youth artists.

Please join us for the exhibition opening reception on Thursday, March 21st, from 4:00 to 7:00 pm with hip hop dance performances by DAVA youth. Edible runs through June 7th, 2019. Downtown Aurora Visual Arts (DAVA) is located at 1405 Florence Street, one block south of Colfax in the Aurora Cultural Arts District. This exhibition is made possible through generous support from the Colorado Health Foundation.

Middle and high school students in DAVA’s Job Training in the Arts and Technology Program learned about nutrition and urban agriculture with Annie Toro Lopez and Don Lopez, founders of Seed to Savor Farm, Living Food for the Future. Students also visited the Anschutz Health and Wellness Center for inspiration. One group is growing food in their classroom. Another is creating intriguing digital images based on organic and inorganic food sources. These images bring both playful and critical approaches to how teens think about making healthy choices. We are also partnering with Cleo Parker Robinson Dance to bring hip hop dance classes to DAVA, culminating in a performance during the opening reception.

Younger students in the DAVA Open Studio present their study of nutrition through film photography. Students were introduced to nutrition facts, vitamins and minerals that nourish our body. They also experienced cooking and eating new foods and a special yoga session with Tyrone Beverly from I’m Unique. Students learned to use film cameras for portraits and food photography in conjunction with the Month of Photography, a city-wide focus of photographic media.

Guest artist Travis Vermilye’s graphite drawings about physical inactivity add to the exhibition. He explores sedentary lifestyles at the cellular level, representing health and ecological concerns in a new way. Vermilye is trained in medical and biological illustration and teaches scientific media and digital design at the University of Colorado Denver.

Downtown Aurora Visual Arts is a nonprofit arts organization whose mission is to strengthen the community through the arts with a primary focus on youth engagement. For more information about our programs, visit www.davarts.org

Settlers
February 28- March 22, 2019
Opening Reception Thursday, February 28, 2018 5-8 pm

Sarah Gjertson, Heather Oelklaus, Sarah Fukami, Carl Iwasaki, Tya Anthony, James Milmoe, Christopher Perez
Guest curated by Rupert Jenkins

Using photographic media as a foundation for their work, the seven artists in Settlers convey, individually and collectively, the colonization of the American southwest. Whatever their motive and means—some came voluntarily, others were forced—the occupation of Native land is something that continues with every wave of Colorado “native” and newcomer.

Looked at from a Native perspective, the people documented in this show might be thought of as alien invaders. “Settlers” is not a judgment of this, but it is a reminder that for every “new” territory there is an old, stolen one.

The images in the show represent settlers from the late-19th century to the early 21st. The show takes place during the 2019 Denver Month of Photography and works have been selected to align with the range of art-making conducted at Art Gym, most especially print-making. All the artists are from the Denver metro region, and span more than 60-years of artmaking, 1950-2010.

Art Gym is creative workspace with on-demand access to specialty tools - all within a dynamic community. Our members are dancers, actors, chefs, printers, painters, sculptors, metalsmiths, lapidarists, fine artists, writers, designers, illustrators, and more.

Nights
Jeff Davenport
March 9 - April 20, 2019
Opens March 9, 7-11pm

Jeff Davenport is a Los Angeles based photographer. After graduating the from University of Colorado at Boulder with Film and Art History degrees, he focused most of his creative output as a musician in Denver. Inspired by the vivid terrain and its expanding arts scene, Jeff moved to Los Angeles in 2016 to concentrate on his photography. Jeff works primarily in urban landscape and portraiture, often emphasizing the plasticity of color and perception.

Nights is a collection of street photographs shot over the last four years during late night walks through the neighborhoods of Los Angeles and beyond. These photographs explore the sublime in the nondescript corners of the everyday.

Working only with the predetermined light of city planners, business and home owners, the work reveals how the transactional light of security and safety can transcend into the fantastic and the extraordinary. Influenced by directors like Michael Mann, the painters of the Ashcan School, Richard Estes’ photorealism and the filmic mega-productions of Gregory Crewdson, Nights is a homage to our inner lives and imaginations — stills of the films playing in our heads.

Larry Laszlo
Stars in a Flash
Quick-Capture Portraiture

March 21 - April 18, 2019
Opening March 21, 5-7:30pm
light refreshments and cash bar

When you need to shoot movie stars on publicity tours, you’re given very little time. Through decades of dealing with such assignments, Larry Laszlo has learned to master the ‘Art of Quick-Capture.’

Shooting celebrities is a very specific category of portrait photography, rarely allowing for careful planning and staging. Outside of press conferences and scheduled photo-ops, a photographer’s access for a more intimate shoot is rarely granted.

Getting on the celebrity’s schedule is dependent on many factors: the popularity of the media for which you’re shooting, the persistence of the request, your own reputation among the publicists and studios, and often just the whim/mood of the star or their handlers.

And if you’re blessed with the opportunity for that photo in the hotel room or poolside, you’d better be quick. They’re always in a hurry. You’re likely getting squeezed in before that TV interview down the hall or the press conference downstairs. You might have a few minutes to look around the allotted space, perhaps set up a single light source, hope your subject won’t mind sitting over there, leaning this way or that.

And you have to be flexible, to be prepared for some creative problem-solving. That room might not be available, or your subject might be in a foul mood. It’s difficult to quickly compose an interesting image of a person with more important things to do.

Come view the results of photo-ops that lasted for 2 minutes or less.

Laszlo has also been shooting the visiting celebrities at The Denver Film Festival since its inception. A rotating, semi-permanent installation of these photos at the SIE FilmCenter Gallery will also be on view during this exhibit.

This is Not a Photo

April 6- May 4, 2019

Opening Saturday, April 6 6-8p

Featuring:

Daisy Patton- Seattle, WA

Maeve Eichelberger- Paonia, CO

Chris Dahlquist- Kansas City MO

Students from Aspen Academy

In his piece “Ceci N’est Pas Une Pipe”, artists Rene Magritte points out the arbitrary relationship between an object and its name. This was Magritte's way of saying that, "an image is not be confused with something tangible". In this exhibit, “This is Not a Photo” three artists challenge what is considered a “photo”. Using photographs as a foundry these artists work in non-traditional mediums like acrylic, steel and paint to push the boundaries of traditional photography.

This exhibit will also feature a project form the students at Aspen Academy. Students partnered with guest photographer Jim Sidinger to create the "Home Project." Students explored the art the works of Jim Sidnger, Peter Menzel and Faith D'Alusio and then brainstormed a list of what "home" means. Jim lead the students in a two-day mini photography workshop focusing on visual storytelling and compositions. Students then went into their communities to take pictures of "home," which they used to create digital collages in Photoshop featured on walls and throughout the installation.

Robert Newman: In the 3rd Dimension
February 27 - March 31,
Opening Friday, March 1, 5-9pm,
Secondary opening Saturday, March 9, 5-8:30pm

3D photography has been around almost as long as photography itself. Introduction of the Holmes Stereoscope in 1861 began an upsurge in popularity that produced millions of stereo cards. My generation obsessed with View Master reels and still today new technology keeps 3D alive. The most popular 3D camera ever made was the Stereo Realist, introduced in 1947 and remained in vogue throughout the 1950’s.

Dad used a Realist to capture our scenic Sunday drives and long-distance family vacations... most cherished childhood memories. When slides arrived from the lab we’d gather and pass around the “Red Dot” viewer, one image at a time, anxiously awaiting the next scene. The realism of those stereo views floating through the frames detail and depth; the sensation of “being there” sparked a more personal connection with the memories we held as important as the scene itself. One can’t help but gaze into the viewer and pause.

Today I’m framing through the very same sturdy Realist, channeling Dad and looking with fresh eyes at familiar places around metro Denver and greater Colorado. These prosaic views can now be seen as never before..in the 3rd dimension!

Valkarie Gallery originated from the creative minds of Valerie Savarie and Karrie York. Together, they envisioned a space where they could collectively create and display their art. A place where they could invite a diverse collection of artists to exhibit their work and whose art greatly inspired the creation of their own. Both gallery and working studio, Valkarie is owned and run by artists, for artists and invites the community to join us in the celebration of all things creative!

March 14 - April 6, 2019
Opens March 14, 2-9pm

Featured Event First Friday April 5, 2-9pm including activations, networking and holistic practice by Cultural Arts United

The prevailing theme of MegaFauna’s 2019 calendar is Universal Agreements, a monthly series of activations defining the conduit of expression from creativity to commerce. Programmed through a series of dynamic mediums and methodologies, MegaFauna continues to seek solidarity throughout the cultural arts and transform the narrative of the creative into narrator, empowering through causality and the universal principle of oneness.

About the Artists:
Shellie Bee has spent years photographing the streets of Denver with the unique perspective and inside access to the street art culture that is rarely seen.  A visual artist with an obsession for graffiti and urban decay, Shellie Bee has made a name for herself locally and on online. She also creates colorful and sometimes chaotic on of a kind collages with her photos. With an impressive collection of over 30,000 photographs, she hopes to one day make available a historical archive for future street artist and graffiti writers. @shelliebee

Al Heuer is a local Denver artist/ photographer and a big fan of history and politics and enjoys taking his camera to former "Cold War" foes and photographing every day life in these places. Through these pieces he tries to open doors toward the future with a look back at the long road of history behind us. He's a big believer that you can’t move into the future without understanding our shared past.  www.redarmyart.com

Tania Kaaz is a photographer who soaks her film in different substances, such as alcohols and lemon juice, in order to destroy the emulsion, resulting in surreal images. She explores the idea of creating beauty out of destruction and hopes to take the viewer on a journey to see the world in new ways and not as it is to the normal eye.  www.taniakaaz.com

Hosted with intention at MegaFauna, the original creative supply shop in Greater Five Points, River North Art District. Located in Denver, Colorado, MegaFauna empowers the agreements of expression through education and engagement between creativity and commerce to evolve the construct of artistic endeavors. Founded in 2001, MegaFauna was created to provide a platform introducing enterprising artists to opportunities. In 2008 MegaFauna collaborated with creative services and supply chain providers to coordinate opportunity for local artists and start-ups. Incorporating in 2011, MegaFauna established a gallery-centric retail concept serving as a start-up incubator for a talent pool indiscriminate of creative or cultural base. Finding no relevant organization to support the broad range of programming, the organization divested event promotions and production into Final Friday a live music activation which directly served the 25 square blocks of historic community as a give back to independent music and local business; now spanning into 7 unincorporated city municipalities. Passing into its eighth year of public access, the organization continues to serve without charitable donations and inspire future generations through relevant programming and innovating activations while paying homage to the creators of the past.

Loupehole; a view into a kinetic landscape
March 9 - April 30, 2019
Opening March 9th, 2019, 5-9pm

Join us at Modern Nomad as we celebrate a night of photography with local photographer, skateboarder and all around good dude, Coburn Huff. The opening will include refreshments, music and an interactive installment with our 1960’s, analog photo booth (courtesy of Photo Bang.)

"Capturing momentous moments of light is everything. As a photographer, I am inspired to preserve the light in all of its tonality. Its diverse qualities can transform figures and landscapes in a split second. It is paramount to project that feeling of place by capturing its transient beauty." - Coburn Huff

Loupehole peers into a world not many people know. A world where trespassing is a daily ritual, rewards are rare and injury is common. All to feel a discrete transition or grind under our feet. Its apparent we have found a void in our system.

Skateboarding empowers our perspective to take many different shapes. Feeding our minds to seek and generate distorted lines.

Nearer to Thee
Joseph Kolean
March 8 - April 19, 2019
Opens March 8, 6pm

Filmmaker Joseph Kolean here organizes his photographs in relation with Dan Kolean's, his father, so that distinction between the two begins to disappear. Having recognized in his father’s vernacular photographs of vacations and family portraits a visual language that might already inform his own, Joseph Kolean tests the ability of a gallery context to host a conversation in which the contributions are collectively generated. The refusal to establish boundaries that distinguish the photographs of the father and the son orients the pictures to the nature of familial relationships and their effect on life trajectory, as well as how memory warps, distorts, distills, and evaporates.

The BCC, a registered 501(c)3 non profit organization, was created in 2013 by Addrienne Amato and Kelly Cope Russack, an artist and art lover who sought to fill a void they felt existed in the local art community. By hosting numerous pop-up galleries and events around town, they discovered the many artists who also sought support, creative development, and inclusion. By offering warehouse studio space, gallery exhibitions, representation and exposure for artists, and workshops and classes to the community, the BCC strives to provide a platform for engagement to the Boulder community. The Boulder Creative Collective is a space and collective where artists and the greater community can engage through its founding principles; Create, Connect, Exchange, Collect.

McMahon Gallery:
An Act of Selection
co-curated by Kevin Hoth featuring Dan Baumbach, Leslee Broersma, Christopher Carruth, Ali Cowel, Teri Havens, Kevin Hoth, Rebecca Stumpf & Preston Utley

Photography is arguably one of the most accessible art forms - everyone takes photos. Yet it is also one of the most under appreciated art forms. The exhibitions on view bring to light the complexities of photography and tell a story behind, through and in front of the camera. We show you the incredible amount of “filters” photographers use - from socio-economic status to presentation. See behind the scenes of epic 90’s sitcoms and examine unreal photo manipulations. Gain understanding of the artist, the process and the subject. If every photo tells a story, these are the ones worth knowing.

The Month of Photography exhibitions will open on March 7th, starting at 5 pm. At 5:30 the exhibition curators will introduce the artists and take questions. This is your opportunity to meet and mingle with the artists and curator. Light fare for attendees, plus drinks available for purchase. All receptions are free and open to the public. Other Month of Photography events are taking place the same night in Boulder.

Documenting Change: Our Climate (Past, Present, Future)

February 7 - July 20, 2019
Opens February 7, 5-7pm

Symposium: Friday, February 8, Register HERE
Gallery Talk, February 13, 12pm, Register HERE


Documenting Change: Our Climate (Past, Present, Future) considers how our observation of natural worlds is influenced by measures of time and representations of form. From the tectonic to the technological, from the single-celled to the systemic, environments exist in a state of flux that can be studied and interpreted by a scientist or an artist.
This exhibition brings together diverse ranges of materials and observers, spanning historical and contemporary eras. Finely detailed Renaissance botanical publications, sweeping Romantic era landscape painting, late 19th and early 20th-century scientific photo-documentation of glaciers and contemporary works that visualize complex datasets are composed from soot, silver, wool, wood, ink, pixels, and more.

This exhibition is co-curated by Erin Espelie and Hope Saska.
FlexSpace: Documenting Change, on view February 7 — April 13, is coordinated by Jessica Brunecky and Traci McDonald.

Exhibition and programming is generously supported by The Grand Challenge, NEST (Nature, Environment, Science & Technology) Studio for the Arts, The Center for Western Thought and Policy, CU Boulder Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment fees, and CU Art Museum members.

CU Art Museum and the Nature, Environment, Science, Technology (NEST) Studio for the Arts will host a cross-disciplinary symposium: Anthropocene Resonance: Interdisciplinary Approaches. The symposium will feature a keynote by William L. Fox, Director of the Center for Art + Environment, Nevada Museum of Art. The sessions will engage scholarly and creative approaches to both making climate change tangible and analyzing ways in which climate change is made tangible through media, mapping, data visualization, science communication, art installation, sonification or other methods.

Alex John Sweetman - Recent Work: Fall 2018
Color prints of symbols, arrows, lights and other found abstractions photographed in the Boulder environment.

Paul Stein - Lies
Paul Stein's series Lies explores visual appropriation, memory, and mortality. The diptychs in his project depict how observation gives way to memory, how truth and fiction merge, and how our experiences gain a new meaning through our reimagining. Like memory, intention gives way to intrusion, and so the sequencing of these photos is random. Paul's diptychs are created from found vintage photographs that he re-edits and places in dialogues. They are from the proposed book project Lies.

Paula Gillen - Roman Trumpe–l’oeil
For the digital collages of this latest series, Gillen fuses images of Julius Cesar and his cohorts, as depicted in Ancient Roman sculpture, with the faces of current US political figures. In this series, several acts of illusion—those of history, power, and the means of artistic representation—dramatically unravel. On display will be black and white portraits on metal.

Melissa Pickering - Fired or Forced Out
#firedorforcedout series
This is a series of people that trump has fired or forced out of office during his administration. The departures are often because he did not like how the person was behaving. His actions reveal cronyism, a reluctance to truly serve the people, and a purposeful undermining of the integrity of our White House and country. The text on each piece is from trump’s tweet from that day (relevant to the firing or not), that I have rearranged to tell a new story.

Rebels & Reform:
A Contemporary Photo Showcase of Over 50 Photographers from Burma
Curated by Ryan Libre


This showcase of exhibitions and screenings will give context and faces to stories you have never heard, from a country you don’t know how to call. As freedom of expression starts to peak it’s head out from 50 years of harsh censorship the visual arts scene in Burma is starting to get interesting, but artists, film makers, journalists are still routinely given or are threatened with long jail sentences for any ideas that the old guard of military dictators in new suits finds “too much”.

This showcase is just scratching the surface of this exciting but still risky time for photography in Burma. It includes works from individual artists and Everyday Kachin, the Yangon Photo Festival, the Myanmar Photo Archive, Let My Voice Be Heard, the Myitkyina Journal & Sakse.

Produced by DocArtsAsia & the Center for Asian Studies at CU Boulder for the Month of Photography Denver & generously hosted by the Visual Arts Center of CU Boulder.

FANTASY
Cali Banks

As an interdisciplinary artist, Banks' practice works within the realm of public versus private narratives. These narratives stem into identity and feminine discourse. In this small body of work, FANTASY, Banks uses a flatbed scanner as a camera, and displays images of women's lingerie. While these images are abstracted, the forms and textures of lingerie are still present. Crossing over between humor and eroticism, she uses imitation names of lingerie, paired with these abstract forms.

Matthew Pevear: Mastering the Art of French Cooking
Curated by George P. Perez
January 14 – May 5, 2019

BMoCA at Macky is an exhibition series presented by Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) in collaboration with Macky Auditorium Concert Hall on the University of Colorado Boulder campus.

For his first solo show in the region, photographer Matthew Pevear presents a refined survey of work that was captured over the course of two years. As an observer, he takes the role of the pedestrian, walking countless hours exploring familiar landscapes, and looking past familiar tourist views. Mitigating and avoiding gestures that may lend to the obviousness of his surroundings, he captures and scoops up imagery that barely skims the surface of human centric spaces.

Pevear’s interest in place and object is apparent in the work. By observing the places and things that he encounters, he promotes, unveils, and gives reference to non-grandiose interactions in the anthropocentric environment with which we interact.

Matthew Pevear (b. 1993) is an artist working mainly in photography. From the age of 5 to the age of 15 he lived on a mile-long peninsula in Boston Harbor underneath the final approach to Logan Airport. He believes this influenced his practice in some way. Matthew went on to graduate from Syracuse University where he obtained his BFA in Art Photography in 2015.

George P. Perez (b. 1987) received his BFA cum laude in 2014 from the University of Colorado, Boulder. He was a resident at Redline from 2014-2016 and completed a residency at The Denver Children’s Museum in 2018 where he has a piece in its permanent collection. Currently, Perez is part of M12, an artist collective specializing in the rural environment, and works as a photo facilitator with Working Assumptions, a nonprofit based out of Berkley, CA.

BMoCA @ Macky is a collaboration between BMoCA and The Andrew J. Macky Gallery, located in the foyer of the Macky Auditorium Concert Hall at the University of Colorado Boulder. This series of exhibitions is curated by BMoCA as an extension to its rotating exhibition schedule.

Admission to the gallery is free and open to the public, Monday–Friday, 10am–4:30pm and to ticketed patrons during Macky Auditorium performances and events.

On the Ground: Contemporary Landscape Photography After Ansel Adams
Thursday, March 14, 7:15 pm

To coincide with the Longmont Museum Ansel Adams exhibit, the Firehouse Art Center presents two contemporary photographers addressing landscape and land use.

Noah McLaurine, A Gradual Loss
Main Gallery

Noah McLaurine’s large-scale color images (34x45in) combine technical precision with contemporary photographic realities: how do we approach and photograph public lands in a culture where everyone has a camera, when everyone’s evidence is the same? What impact does that have on the places we visit? How do we make art of the attempt to convey the scale and beauty of western spaces? By bringing his pedestal to various locations for these photographs, and bringing back some physical part of the land, Noah references photography’s impact and language along with its relationship to the legacy of land preservation. We “take” photos when we venture into public land but what is it that we are taking? Are we taking ownership? Is a photograph a document without a footprint? Are we, in our travels, changing the land? Noah’s photographs are unique in that they both confront and allow us our faults - combining artistic license with technical beauty.

Leah Schretenthaler
South Gallery

Leah Schretenthaler addresses the human infringement on natural land in her photographs by presenting traditional black and white prints of the natural landscape with the human constructions physically removed. By presenting these specific images she evokes both the tradition of landscape photography and the irreversible impact of human activity on the land. In Hawaii the land is an obviously limited resource, and the multitudes of visitors and changes are amplified by the scarcity of what is left behind. Leah expresses this sense of loss and irreversible change in her images: by using historical printing processes she’s starting with a baseline of photographic history and nostalgic ideals, then by cutting into those vistas - the physical surface of the prints - she’s letting us know there is no going back, as much as we might imagine otherwise.

For two centuries, idealized visions of the American West have lured people in search of adventure, wealth, freedom, and inspiration. Ansel Adams expressed the region’s breathtaking vistas and the dramatic qualities of Western light with such skill that his photographs command our respect and inspire our environmental sympathies sixty, even eighty, years after he made them. This conversation will explore how contemporary landscape photographers square the idealism and grandeur of Adams’s vision with their own perceptions of today’s West.

February 22 - March 22, 2019
Opening February 22, 4-7pm

The Center for the Arts Evergreen is please to host an exhibit of the Rocky Mountain Monochrome Salon members entitled “Shades of Gray”. Monochrome photography takes many forms in our modern age: traditional film-based, black-and-white photography, digital black-and-white photography, hybrid photography, which combines aspects of both traditional and digital processes, and historic photographic processes that date back to the earliest days of photography.

The mission of the Rocky Mountain Monochrome Salon is to support monochrome-based fine art photographers across the Rocky Mountain Region, while educating the public and art community about the history, processes and value of monochrome photography today. Artists participating with the Rocky Mountain Monochrome Salon are: Dave Barry, Jeff Graves, Chris James, Ron Johnson, Linda Little, Jim Montague, Steve Podrasky, Michael Snively, George Vago, and Jacqueline Webster.

Coinciding with the exhibit will be three educational experiences. CAE Executive Director, Steve Sumner, will be presenting a brown bag lecture, “History of Photography”, on February 27th at noon, which will be free and open to the public. A panel discussion entitled “Why Black and White?” will take place on March 8th starting at 4:00pm.

The exhibition opens on February 22nd, 2019 and runs through March 22nd, 2019 at the Center for the Arts Evergreen located at 31880 Rocky Village Drive Evergreen, CO. A reception open to the public will take place from 4:00pm - 7:00pm on Friday, February 22nd with refreshments at the Center for the Arts Evergreen.

Center for the Arts Evergreen (CAE) was founded in 1974. Since then, CAE has been a leader in advocacy and support for visual and performing arts in Evergreen. The year 2017 was a landmark year for CAE as it moved into its new home, the renovated and expanded "Old Bergen Church,” a designated historic Jefferson County landmark.

TIME: Biannual UCCS Visual Art Faculty Exhibition celebrates and investigates the work of contemporary artists serving as educators at UCCS. GOCA has championed conceptually innovative projects in its exhibition spaces for the past 37 years, inviting artists from this region and beyond to manifest their visions in collaboration with our students, faculty and staff. For this exhibition, we invited our faculty to respond to a theme that is connected to the biannual POLLINATE festival the exhibition is part of – TIME.

Time is both a physical dimension of our universe and and a marker of change. Beyond the ticking of seconds in a minute, minutes in an hour and beyond, time is also the accumulation of history, the forward march of ever-faster connections through contemporary technologies, and the incremental tedium of everyday experience. Contemporary art and artists have responded to time not as a unitary subject or theme, but in a multi-faceted way that’s as diverse as contemporary art itself.

Works in this exhibition span a broad range of media and concepts – painting, drawing, sculpture, sound installation, kinetic works, time-based media and performative happenings are all represented. The artists were invited to exhibit new or recent work connecting to overarching theme. It is an honor to give platform to the work of our artist faculty at UCCS – I invite you to connect with the work in our spaces this spring at our Marie Walsh Sharpe Gallery of Contemporary Art site, in the Ent Center for the Arts.

“If This Wasn't Me...”
March 1 - March 29, 2019
Opening Reception March 7, 5-7pm

Brianna Anderson, Mike Beaty, Bridgett Clay, Andre Cortesi, Christine Deutsch, Todd Edward Herman, Christopher Homminga, Mathias Ingram, James Smith, Kenny Williams.

Collaborations with participants in the Pueblo Regional Center* Photography Workshop. Facilitated by Todd Edward Herman

“If This Wasn't Me...”​ explores the daily realities and visual imaginations of adults with developmental and psychiatric disabilities, living under the auspices of Colorado's Pueblo Regional Center.

* Read Preface by Todd Edward Herman HERE

“If This Wasn't Me...”​
During a recent six month photography workshop, Todd Edward Herman collaborated with Pueblo Regional Center* residents to produce the images in this exhibit. While Herman is clearly shooting his photographs from an outsider's perspective, the photographs made by Pueblo Regional Center* photographers offer new and intimate looks at the often disregarded beauty and mystery within their own home environments. Herman then presents all of the photographs together on the same artistic level, delicately crossing the line that separates teacher and student, photographer and subject, outsider and community, personal agency and full psychiatric guardianship.

“If This Wasn't Me...” is an intimate and poetic collection of images -- moving viewers beyond frequently projected stereotypes of pity and adulation -- mindful of everyone's equal need and ability to meet life's contingencies on their own terms.

Todd Edward Herman is a visual artist currently living in Boulder Colorado. He has been the recipient of many awards for his work including the San Francisco International Film Festival's New Vision Award, the Art Council of Northern Ireland's Artist in Residence Award, Grants from the San Francisco Film Arts Foundation, a Western States Regional Media Arts Fellowship, Taipei Artist Village Residency, and the San Francisco Art Commission's Emerging Curator Award. Todd is also co-founder and project advisor for Sins Invalid -- a performance project that incubates, celebrates and centralizes artists with disabilities, artists of color, queer and gender-variant artists. He has presented his work at such venues as the International Film Festival Rotterdam, San Francisco International Film Festival, Southbank Centre, Anthology Film Archives, San Francisco Cinematheque, and Pacific Film Archives.

"At their best artists can question habits of understanding, looking, and storytelling, thereby investigating the ways personal and historical forms are constructed rather than fixed. For me, this means generating work that examines how images compose, enforce, or undermine -- rather than simply reflect -- history, dominant values, identity, and authorship." --Todd Edward Herman

* “1969, what was previously known as the Colorado State Regional Center -- now the Pueblo Regional Center -- was part of the larger Colorado State Hospital [formerly the Colorado State Insane Asylum, founded 1879]. The hospital served more than 500 individuals with developmental disabilities and mental health diagnoses. In the 1980s, progress was made to change the living arrangements, and the remaining 160 individuals were transferred to new residential homes throughout the Pueblo West community.

Stripped: Fractured Landscapes
Madeline Wilson
March 8 - April 19, 2019
Opening March 8, 6-9pm

March 19, 6-7pm, Artist Talk
April 8, 6-9pm, Open House

Stripped: Fractured Landscapes is a solo exhibition by Madeline Wilson. This exhibition features landscape photographs which were deconstructed, then reconstructed to create interrupted landscapes. The interrupted landscapes resemble our true perception of nature, fragmented by our inattention and by the mechanics of vision. The fractured images address variations on Chaos Theory and The Butterfly Effect – that our human footprint and our very presence changes the land. We can’t control the dynamic forces that are in constant movement, imperceptible geological changes that occur under our feet while sometimes leading to catastrophic events that get our attention. These ongoing, consistently repeating patterns occur in nature and provide the catalysts for interdependent growth and change.

Artworks Loveland is the largest nonprofit Studio Artist Community in Northern Colorado dedicated to advancing contemporary art and artists. We foster a collaborative studio environment supportive of the creative process. With a desirable framework of studio and gallery space, artists are free to work solo or to take advantage of collaborative opportunities. Artworks is proud to be an eclectic incubator that stands to shape the face and the future of Loveland.

Ansel Adams: Early Works
January 26 - May 26, 2019
Opening Reception, January 25, 6–8 pm

Button Rock Preserve: Protecting Longmont's Watershed
Thursday, February 7, 6:30 pm

On the Ground: Contemporary Landscape Photography after Ansel Adams
Moderated by Eric Paddock, Curator of Photography, Denver Art Museum

Ansel Adams: Early Works
January 26 - May 26, 2019
Opening Reception, January 25, 6–8 pm

In honor of Adams’ love of music and his early interest in becoming a pianist instead of a photographer, this event will feature live music on our Shigeru Kawai piano, generously donated to the Museum by Lila Stewart. Cocktail attire. Light appetizers provided; cash bar.

Starting January 26, 2019 and running through May 26, 2019, the Longmont Museum will host an Ansel Adams: Early Works exhibit presented by Old Town Outfitters, your one-stop shop for outdoor adventure gear and clothing in downtown Longmont.

Ansel Adams was a giant in the field of landscape photography. His images of the unspoiled Western landscape were informed by his belief in the transcendental concept of the sublime–a complex combination of overwhelming awe and fear.

Many viewers are familiar with the Adams’ heroic, high-contrast prints from the 1970s. Much less well known are the intimate prints that the artist crafted earlier in his career.

Ansel Adams: Early Works focuses on these masterful small prints from the 1920s into the 1950s. By capturing the abject power of nature, Adams changed our understanding of landscape photography, solidifying it as a legitimate form of modern art.

The exhibit will also feature vintage cameras and photographic equipment of the type Ansel Adams used to create his remarkable photographs. These examples will give visitors a sense of the bulk of the cameras that Adams had to haul to cliff edges and mountaintops. The exhibition will also feature a gallery film showing Ansel Adams’ work process and the precision with which he approached creating images.

---------------------------------------------
Button Rock Preserve: Protecting Longmont's Watershed
Thursday, February 7, 6:30 pm; free admission—tickets required

The inspirational legacy of Ansel Adams includes his major significance as an environmentalist. Learn about one of Longmont’s most important environmental resources: water. Find out what it takes to manage the water, forests, and recreation at Button Rock Preserve. Watershed Ranger Jamie Freel will explore these topics and share stories from the flood of 2013. Get your free ticket starting January 21

On the Ground: Contemporary Landscape Photography after Ansel Adams
Moderated by Eric Paddock, Curator of Photography, Denver Art Museum
Thursday, March 14, 7:15 pm; free admission—tickets required

For two centuries, idealized visions of the American West have lured people in search of adventure, wealth, freedom, and inspiration. Ansel Adams expressed the region’s breathtaking vistas with such skill that his photographs command our respect and inspire our environmental sympathies nearly 100 years after he made them. Join us for a lively conversation with contemporary landscape photographers as they attempt to square the idealism and grandeur of Adams’ vision with their own perceptions of today’s West. Get your free ticket starting January 21

Co-presented with the Firehouse Arts Center.

Zombies: Pay Attention!
December 21, 2018 - May 5, 2019

The AAM’s exhibition Zombies: Pay Attention! looks at the space between the living and the dead, examining the notion of the “living dead” or “undead” within contemporary culture. From writer-director George Romero’s cult-classic film Night Of The Living Dead (1968) to the popularity of contemporary television shows The Walking Dead and Jericho, and video games Fallout and Resident Evil, the figure of the zombie is ever present. Suspended in an ambiguous state between life and death, alive but not living, the figure of the zombie continues to be used by filmmakers, writers, and artists as a metaphor for fear, anxiety, and crisis. The AAM’s exhibition presents a global constellation of work that reflects on contemporary life, what it means to be living, and the potentially catastrophic effects of existing in the liminal space of the “undead.”

Modern Pictorialism
David Jepsen, Chris Kates, and Joshua Hicks
April 2 - April 30, 2019
Opening April 19, 7:30-10pm

Long before digital photo manipulation there was a movement in the world of photography inspired by the idea of pushing photography further into the realm of art. The goal was to create an emotionally inspired image rather than just recording a scene true to life. Inspired by this we decided to make an exhibition using one of the techniques used in this movement: Gumoil Printing. It’s "modern" because we utilized digital printing to create our positives to be used in the traditional contact print method. But after that the rest is done as it was back in the late 1800’s.

Personal Histories of Photography
Roddy MacInnes
March 16 - April 29, 2019

If your house caught fire and you could only bring one photograph when escaping, which one would it be?

We seldom think about why we take photographs. The vast majority are taken to preserve positive memories, most often of significant people or life events. With that in mind, this project highlights the intimate association that exists between photography and remembrance, more specifically, how family photographs function to preserve memories and thus become catalysts to relate life stories. Participants are asked to choose one significant photograph, the one they would bring with them when fleeing a burning building. The documentation process includes making a portrait of each person holding his or her significant photograph and the transcription of the associated story. In this process, common themes existing within the record of family photographs emerge. And, regardless of cultural background or ethnicity, the majority of people choose a photograph of a significant person or place.

Letters to Photographs: community project
This exhibition is an intergenerational community project completed by participants that include Homestead Elementary School students, Legend High School students, University of Denver students, and Belmar Senior Living residents, all of whom were invited to identify one family photograph that holds significance to them. Each person was then asked to write a letter to the photograph.

To Survive on This Shore
Jess T. Dugan

February 1 – May 18, 2019
Opens February 15, 5:30pm

Artist Talk, February 15, 5:30pm
University Center for the Arts, The Griffin Concert Hall, CSU Campus

Presented by the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art at Colorado State University in collaboration with the Center for Fine Art Photography, the exhibition and related programs are made possible by a grant from the Lilla B. Morgan Memorial Endowment, which works to enhance the cultural development and atmosphere for the arts at Colorado State University (CSU), and with support from the Pride Resource Center at CSU, the Lory Student Center Arts Program at CSU, RamEvents at CSU, the Diversity Offices at CSU, and the FUNd at CSU.

Representations of older transgender people are nearly absent from our culture and those that do exist are often one-dimensional. For over five years, photographer Jess T. Dugan and social worker Vanessa Fabbre traveled throughout the United States creating To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults. Seeking subjects whose lived experiences exist within the complex intersections of gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, sexuality, socioeconomic class, and geographic location, they traveled from coast to coast, to big cities and small towns, documenting the life stories of this important but largely underrepresented group of older adults. The featured individuals share a wide variety of life narratives spanning the last ninety years, offering an important historical record of transgender experience and activism in the United States. The resulting portraits and narratives offer a nuanced view into the struggles and joys of growing older as a transgender person and offer a poignant reflection on what it means to live authentically despite seemingly insurmountable odds.

Ron Johnson
Once Upon A Time Out West

March 23 - May 5, 2019
Opens April 5, 5-7pm

After working for 37 years as an architectural photographer, Ron returned to what first brought him to photography. Black and white fine art images – primarily landscape and elements found in the landscape. Today, he uses a digital camera and computer much as he once used a 4x5 camera and darkroom. Each image is carefully composed and printed. Images are drawn from years of travel, a widely varied history of work, and an appreciation of all forms of music, art, and literature.

These images are not meant to convey any commentary on the social, cultural or political state of the world in which we live, nor are they about the process used to create them. They are about light and form, and seeing, not merely looking at the world around us. As artists, we are compelled to share parts of our lives through the images we create. Some of our efforts may end up lost or forgotten. A few may strike a chord in others. Perhaps we all, in one way or another, want to ask the world, ‘Do you see and hear the things I do? Am I alone?’

NJC Youngers Gallery and Open Press LTD Present: Photo Etchings

Artists: Janice McCullagh, Daniel Teitelbaum, Renee Standley and Mark Lunning

March 25- April 18 2019

Public Reception and Artist Talk Wednesday April 3rd, 6:00pm to 8:00pm

Join us for our four artist group exhibition for the Month of Photography. All four artists combine photography with printmaking in their use of the photo-polymer process, similar to traditional photogravure. The main difference is the time it takes and the toxicity of the products. These artists are using Solar Plates to create their plates. Once the plate is made, it’s inked and printed as any traditional intaglio plate would be, with more or less the same results.

Each artist presented brings a unique perspective of their influences from travel, the landscape, everyday life, and the surreal.

The Youngers Gallery is open M-F 9am-5pm

Located on the Northeastern Junior College Campus in the ES French building Sterling, Colorado 80751

The Big Picture Colorado lands in the Derby Art District at the new Derby Studio Project fifteen minutes northeast of downtown Denver.

More on the The Big Picture

The Derby Studio Project is in the beginning stages of creating a new fine art studio space for artists to make, exhibit art, and music.

We look forward to having a broad range of programing including art and photography workshops for all ages. And will always have a large art book library out for inspiration and checkout.

Derby Studio Project is reviewing applications from artists who desire affordable work/display space. The building is a 2,500 sf updated 1950s store front, and part of the new emerging Derby Art District. The building has excellent street visibility and provides great light for working and exhibiting art. Approximately 1,500 sf of workshop space is available. We are looking to share the space with a professional artist or artist collective. The shared work/exhibit space will be roughly dollar per sq ft + shared internet/utilities.

We will consider dividing the space as needed, but prefer to keep it an open workshop-style space. Adjacent to the workshop is an additional 1,000 sf of gallery space that will be used for solo and group art exhibits, pop-up shows and other events.

Interested artists can apply by contacting Mark at : derbyartstudio@gmail.com

Derby Studio Project is located at:

6525 72nd Place
