“Resurrection” at 23 Sandy Gallery
May 11th, 2008 by Brad
This month 23 Sandy Gallery hosts the national juried show “Resurrection”, which is called a New Look at Old Photographic Processes. This is a well-curated show (Laura Moya, director of PhotoLucida) especially given the wide range of subjects and the many types of antiquarian processes used.
This lead image in this blog is by Jan Potts. The image called “Il Duomo 9” is stunning. Take your time with this wonderful syncopated image and its lush cyanotype-blue color. The visual rhythm created by the multiple holga exposures nicely builds on itself.
Above is Michael Mazzeo‘s Jo B which is a ruby ambrotype, wet-plate collodion on black glass. I met Michael Mazzeo at Houston FotoFest 2008. Beyond being a accomplished photographer and teacher(many different workshops in wet-plate collodion, alternative processes, and digital negatives), he is also director of the Peer Gallery in Chelsea (526 West 26th St, New York). (note: the blue color in the image is from a reflection and is not part of the image)
Chip McDaniel‘s “untitled(Aquagram(rm)” Silver Gelatin. Chip’s Aquagram® is his own darkroom process, which must be some sort of photogram. I remember doing this sort of thing as a kid in my mom’s darkroom in the 80’s, but this one is much more successful than anything I ever did in this area. I really like this work.
Artist in this show include some very well-known and emerging photographers from OR, TX, NY, CT, MA, PA, etc. This exhibition is accompanied by a nicely produced full-color catalog.
