Prison Obscura

Posted by Daylight Books on 2014-01-24

Prison Obscura is opening Friday January 24, with a gallery talk at 4:30pm. Opening Reception at the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery in Haverford College 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. The exhibition will be on view until March 7, 2014.

Curated by Prison Photography editor Pete Brook, Prison Obscura presents rarely seen vernacular, surveillance, evidentiary, and prisoner-made photographs, shedding light on the prison industrial complex. Why do tax-paying, prison-funding citizens rarely get the chance to see such images? And what roles do these pictures play for those within the system? With stark aesthetic detail and meticulous documentation, Prison Obscura builds the case that Americans must come face to face with these images and imaging technologies both to grasp the cancerous proliferation of the U.S. prison system and to connect with those it confines.

Dream Location

Posted by Daylight Books on 2014-01-23

Presentation House Gallery's first exhibition of 2014 is opening on Friday January 24 at 7pm. Dream Location. The curator, Vancouver artist Stephen Waddell proposes fresh insights into issues that inform photography today. He has brought into dialogue works by significant international artists who have made forays into photography. Spanning the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, these analogue photographic works pose questions about the potentials of the medium. Included inDream Location are photographs by Walker Evans, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Elad Lassry, Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter as well as a film projection by Runa Islam. This exhibition asserts the brushstrokes of photography and the nature of depiction. Stephen Waddell is proposing that instead of continually returning to photography's discourse of invention and established canons, now is the time to ask what the medium can become.

Lost Ones

Posted by Daylight Books on 2014-01-20

Sasha Wolf Gallery is proud to announce Tribble Mancenido’s second solo exhibition at the gallery. The show will open Wednesday, January 22nd with a reception from 6 - 8pm. Lost Ones will be on wiew until February 23, 2014.

Lost Ones is a photographic series produced by the duo Tribble Mancenido edited from six years of collaborative work. In the time between returning from a year-long road trip, which resulted in their celebrated series Hurry Up Wait, and beginning their joint graduate studies, Tribble Mancenido underwent the task of re-examining hundreds of negatives. The initial impulse was simply to reevaluate – see with fresh eyes – but what began as curiosity soon turned into a body of work.
