+ "Scapes" closing reception 6-10 pm @ Blue 5 Gallery 2935 S Sepulveda Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90064
“Scapes” is a unique dialogue of photography and painting that reconciles contemporary and traditional aesthetics. Many of the photographers employ approaches more common to painters, as can be seen in the mist of colors drifting over Jeff Alu’s haunting barren scenes. In contrast painters Danielle Eubank and Michelle Nielsen capture frozen moments in an environment more common to photography. David Skinner will for the first time combine elements of his sought after rural California scenes with his introspective personal series.
+ "Twisted Selves" group photo show opening reception 6 - 9 pm @ UCR/California Museum of Photography 3824 Main Street Riverside, CA 92501
Twisted Selves presents work by contemporary artists who depict the human body in altered, unexpected, and disorienting ways. These artists use collage techniques, sculptural props, digital alterations, macroscopic perspectives, and historical source material to consider the physicality of the body and how that relates to our social and psychological senses of self. Featuring Aimée Beaubien, Jeanne Dunning, Wangechi Mutu, Marco Rios, Julie Shafer, and Carrie Yury.
+ Sant Khalsa "River Run : Photographs from Sant Khalsa’s 20-Year Journey with the Santa Ana River" opening reception 6-9 pm @ UCR/California Museum of Photography 3824 Main Street Riverside, CA 92501
I have been photographing the 96-mile-long Santa Ana River and its expansive watershed for over two decades. My work is intended to create a contemplative space where one can sense the subtle and profound connections between themselves, the natural world and our constructed settings. My often disquieting photographs address complex environmental and societal issues and reflect upon my various ideas concerning my/our relationship with the river -- as place of community, economic resource, recreational site, natural habitat, sanctuary, and both source of life and destruction.
