this is [not] a photograph

  

»this is [not] a photograph« is a group show travelling to campus muse-
ums in the United States. In April and June of 2001 it stopped at the Art
Gallery of the University of Southern California in San Diego [click left
image above], and in October and November of that year at the Campus
Gallery of Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota [right image above].
Each museum had its own website designed for the show on the basis
of the same exhibits, and it is interesting to compare the differences.

Featured artists: Heike Bartels, David Berg, Christopher Bucklow, Ellen
Carey, Alain Gerard Clement, Susan Derges, Adam Fuss, Christopher

The Nature of Light -
Exploring unconventional photographic techniques



The show was exhibited from September 12th through October 19th 1996
in New York City at the Joyce Goldstein Gallery.

Included in the show were works in which no lens was used (pinhole pho-
tos, camera obscura) or no camera (photograms). Also on view were exam-
ples of 3-D and invisible frequency images - holography, lenticular photogra-
phy, infrared & ultraviolet photos, x-rays - also microphotography, laser-ex-
posed photos, and other techniques which manifest and collaborate with
the nature of light.

The fourteen artists selected often start with commonplace items - objects
from nature - even from their own bodies, and transform them so that the
recorded images give us clues about how we actually see. We are remind-
ed that our vision of the world around us is but one way of looking at things,
that there is a lot that we only think we see and even more, within our reach,
that we do not have the means to see at all. Together, the artworks - beau-
tiful and enigmatic - offer us a deeper understanding of the awesome com-
plexity of reality, in which our existence is but one aspect.

The festured artists were: Gregory Anthon, Anne Barnard, Rudie Berkhout,
Marco Breuer, Agnes Denes, Amy Fisch & Terry Maxedon, Emily Hartzell,
Carter Hodgkin, Charles Mazel, Neil Reddy, Rich Scarpitta, Kunie Sugiura,
and Cheryl Van Hooven.
