>NEWER TOPOGRAPHICS: Photographs of Digitally-Altered Urban Landscapes
>April 26, 2008 - July 05, 2008
>Newer Topographics: Photographs of 
>Digitally-Altered Urban Landscapes is an 
>exhibition in two parts comprised of Jeremy 
>Kidd's Hyper Architectural Typologies and Eric 
>Curry's American Pride and Passion. 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. Eric Curry's American Pride and 
>Passion 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."
>
>Exhibition support by Samy's Camera, Los Angeles.
>
>AND THESE NATURAL THINGS: Works by Melissa Martinez
>April 26, 2008 - July 05, 2008
>And These Natural Things marks the first 
>Southern California solo exhibition for Melissa 
>Martinez 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.
>
>BALANCING THE LENSES: Stereoviews of the Middle East
>February 23, 2008 - July 12, 2008
>Balancing the Lenses contains a selection of 
>stereographic images from the Keystone-Mast 
>Collection 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.
