OBSCURA: Professional snd Experimental Artists of Alternative Photography

Bookmark and Share

10-6pm Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Aarhus Gallery focuses on the art of alternative and historical process photography with a show entitled ‘Obscura' featuring 22 artists from masters to experimentalists working with pinhole, cyanotype, mordoncage, platinum, plastic camera and gum arabic. On view October 20- November 15th. The public is invited to the Opening Reception Friday October 23rd from 5-8pm. Is it stating the obvious to say that photography has evolved quite a bit since its discovery was announced in France and England in 1839? There have certainly been some amazing advancements, but the origins of photography are still with us and may prove to be as inextricable as our family tree roots. The digital age is upon us and the days of film, darkrooms and chemistry seem to be as fleeting as the images first reflected into the ‘Camera Obscura’ so long ago. However, there are still some resourceful individuals that mix chemicals, coat paper with light sensitive emulsions and use the sun (or light box) to work light into image. Join us at Aarhus to see a diverse group of artists work their magic in various forms of alternative and historical process photography, and trip the light fantastic. Featured artists include Ilya Askinazi, Jonathan Bailey, Elizabeth Cecil, Anne-Claude Cotty, Tillman Crane, Luis Feliciano, Jesseca Ferguson, Annadeene K. Fowler, Jay Gibson, Brenton Hamilton, Kevin Johnson, Mark Kelly, Peter Madden, Richard Mann, Eliza Massey, GeForges Nashan, Eben Ostby, Chris Pinchbeck, Wesley Reddick, Willy Reddick, Dianna Rust, Antonia Small, and Scott Stoughton Aarhus Gallery is located at 50 Main St. Belfast, and open daily 10am-6pm.
