> And Howe!
> UCR California Museum of Photography
>
> And Howe! Photographs by Graham Howe, 1968-2008. Since founding the  
> company Curatorial Assistance in the 1980s, Graham Howe hasn't  
> exhibited his own photography. Earlier, he had photographed  
> landscapes with a sly humor that undermined the way we human beings  
> look at nature. He intervened in the landscape in order to make us  
> aware of the abstractions we impose upon it. By 1980, he was doing  
> studio set-ups whose wittiness was the same mix of a street  
> photographer's eye with a philosopher's skepticism. Though he quit  
> showing his work because he felt it would conflict with his new  
> profession as a curator, he didn't quit doing the work. Isn't it  
> time now, after twenty years, to take another look at this once  
> provocative and still active career in photography? And Howe!

> of worthlessness and anxieties (over everything from being

> royalty, nobility and the wealthy. By the 18th century, Americans  
> living on the east coast had been introduced to Chinese furnishings  
> and clothing and by the 19th century Riverside residents were using  
> them in their homes and on special occasions. Many of these items  
> can be seen at Riverside Metropolitan Museum's newest exhibit,  
> "Chinese Treasures from the Time of the Emperors" which showcases  
> the rich heritage of the arts and culture of Imperial China dating  
> back as far as the Song Dynasty.
> The exhibit features a wide range of dramatic and important objects  
> including decorated textiles, porcelains, paintings, and religious  
> objects.
