<b>NEWER TOPOGRAPHICS: Photographs of Digitally-Altered Urban
Landscapes</b><br>
April 26, 2008 - July 05, 2008<br>
<i>Newer Topographics: Photographs of Digitally-Altered Urban
Landscapes</i> is an exhibition in two parts comprised of <b>Jeremy
Kidd's</b> <b><i>Hyper Architectural Typologies</i></b> and <b>Eric
Curry's <i>American Pride and Passion</i></b>. Kidd chooses urban scenes
that in actuality embody significant architectural drama. Then, using
time-lapse photography, panoramic views, and careful optical alteration,
he ups the ante, creating new, extreme and immersive panoramic
structures. These new worlds have an anthropomorphic presence: they
become autonomous spaces, disorienting constructions, and dramatic
expressionistic cityscapes. Kidd crosses the objectivity of the camera
with the subjectivity of personal vision: these works become romanticized
environments leavened by actual observation. <b>Eric Curry's <i>American
Pride and Passion</i></b> large-scale photographic prints focus on
classic American automobiles, airplanes, and huge road machinery. Each
image is constructed by combining and layering multiple exposures. Each
exposure renders only a small part of a gigantic scene, but it is
exquisitely lit with a keen eye toward textural, surface, and dimensional
rendition, color saturation, and visual clarity. When combined in a
single image we are confronted with a hyper real, high-resolution version
of the world, more clearly focused, more detailed, and more viscerally
intense than our experience of reality itself. In these related
exhibitions Eric Curry and Jeremy Kidd carefully assemble multiple images
to construct new compositions of large spaces, objects and architectural
elements. They offer a 21st century update of the classic exhibition of
1975, "New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered
Landscape." <br><br>
Exhibition support by Samy's Camera, Los Angeles. <br><br>
<b>AND THESE NATURAL THINGS: Works by Melissa Martinez</b><br>
April 26, 2008 - July 05, 2008<br>
<i>And These Natural Things</i> marks the first Southern California solo
exhibition for <b>Melissa Martinez</b> who has risen to prominence in the
art scene. Her works illustrate the desert's natural resources within
familiar urban landscapes. A native of Chicago, Martinez's work confronts
and narrates her outlook at nature's intrusion on her current
surroundings of Arizona. The exhibition will include an isolated
projection with orchestrated sound and sculptural video displays, each
documenting nature's volatile state of eeriness, celebration,
disembodiment and melancholy. <br><br>
<b>BALANCING THE LENSES: Stereoviews of the Middle East</b><br>
February 23, 2008 - July 12, 2008<br>
<i>Balancing the Lenses</i> contains a selection of stereographic images
from the <b>Keystone-Mast Collection</b> of the Middle East and India
taken between 1890 and 1940. These images represent the quotidian way of
life of the places and people photographed and also the culture and
expectations of those photographing and viewing the images in the West.
Balancing the Lenses brings these two sides together to provide a broader
perspective of the people and cultures of the Middle East and India.

Exhibition support by a grant from the National Endowment for the
Humanities. <br><br>
