Michael Krebs: Surplus
Admission: Free
In “Surplus,” Krebs explores his view that a war of consumerism is taking place. In this war, the victims are consumers who are manipulated into pursuing artificially created needs. Citizens become dependent on their income to buy goods they do not need to remain competitive in today’s society. Using powerful references to iconic war photographs, Krebs visualizes the modern western consumer’s struggle. As he explains, “By not showing but only referring to iconic [war] images one becomes aware of how powerful pictures are that already ‘made history’ and have become part of our visual culture.”

Gil Kofman: Passages: Case Studies in Euclidean Seduction
Admission: Free
In “Passages – Case Studies in Euclidean Seduction,” Kofman investigates a new way he has been looking at the geometry of ordinary hallways, or passages. He states, “I discovered the hallways in this exhibit quite by chance. I was simply trying to get from one place to the next, and these so-called passages comprised part of the material space I was forced to physically traverse and mentally discard.“ Mindful of the rigid organization imposed by conventional perspective, he examines the common objects in the hallways – chairs, clocks, doors, knobs and garbage cans-- as independent forms free from the constraints of vanishing points, horizon lines and orthogonals. As the eye rushes down the length of the passage, these objects serve as the focal point of an exploration.

Tree
Admission: Free
ADC Contemporary & Building Bridges International Art Exchange presents “The Tree” curated by Anna Dusi, an exhibition focused on Trees. This exhibition is in partnership MOPLA.
A tree represents a vital and timeless symbol. Immersed in the mist of a dreamy and surreal land, it is rooted in the earth dense with experience. The image of a tree extracts the essence of the harmony, uneasiness, lack or abundance. It enjoys a privileged relation with the environment; it grows and expands in our mental space to become a source of artistic inspiration, a monument erected to protect our history. This exhibition offers cues and suggestions to deepen our understanding of the relationship between man and nature through a vital plot that unfolds in front of our eyes in a intimate and complex manner. These three photographers introduces us through their individual sensibility and narrative intensity, to a natural element protagonist of the exhibition, a Tree.

Harmonious Tableau
Admission: Free
ADC Contemporary & Building Bridges International Art Exchange presents the “Harmonious Tableau” exhibition featuring the works of Ashly Stohl, Dan Shepherd, James Barros, Jim Brammer, Massimiliano Leanza, Michael Gotz, Mike Spitz, Shannon Rowland O’Connor, and Travis Robinson.
This landscape show features work from the members of the f/9 Photography Collective. “Harmonious Tableau” explores the relationship between urban and natural landscapes. Bringing these two together offers the opportunity to experience and appreciate their inherent design elements. The ability to compare natural and urban settings that might have been overlooked initially offers a deeper look into what makes them each inherently beautiful. These two otherwise disparate settings instead inspire the viewer to
realize what might be essentially shared in terms of color, texture, and atmosphere. Bringing these images together provide a second chance to appreciate what we might have missed.

Marla Rutherford: LAY-TEXT

Marla Rutherford’s work references many genres of photography – fashion, advertising, glamour portrait, fetish, film stills, Pirelli calendars – to present highly original fictional and performative portraits that play off incongruous worlds, often interrupting a domestic scene with a fantasy image or placing a seductive fetish portrait in a common- place, everyday scene.

Dennis Hopper: The Fort Worth 400
Admission: Free
Craig Krull Gallery will present an exhibition of photographs from the 1960s by Dennis Hopper. "The Fort Worth 400" consists of the original and intact collection of over four hundred vintage 6x9” photographs that were included in Hopper’s 1970 exhibition organized by Henry T. Hopkins for the Fort Worth Art Center Museum. (Coincidentally, Hopper was exhibited concurrently with Jerry McMillan at Forth Worth as well). The exhibit includes Hopper’s iconic images of artists, film stars, musicians, poets, bikers, beatniks, hippies, and civil rights marchers. In the essay for Hopper’s book, "Out of the Sixties," Michael McClure wrote, “There are no portraits here. These are not portraits….It’s all in the air like a ball tossed from the hand.” Hopper’s street scenes and pictures of bold signage and graphics, such as "Double Standard," parallel the interests of Pop artists and Ed Ruscha. His images of torn, decayed and painted-over posters plastered on walls suggest an aesthetic akin to both the California Assemblage of his friends and the visceral paintings of the Abstract Expressionists.

This composed, yet organic series incorporates works from India, Hong Kong, Papua New Guinea, Malibu, and a large portion from Block Island, R.I. where Johnson-Tennant spent her childhood summers. The images carry an ethereal quality reflecting a diffusion of light and sky combining the surreal and bucolic. DIFFUSION exhibits the artist’s intuition while showing a natural sense of harmony in their composition balanced by a sense of color and symmetry.

Corey Arnold: Wolf Tide
Admission: Free
Santa Monica, CA—Richard Heller Gallery is pleased to present Wolf Tide, new work by Portland based photographer Corey Arnold. This exhibition, his second solo show with Richard Heller is a series of large format photographs culled from his experience working as a commercial fisherman in Alaska to rural encounters with unsuspecting wildlife and dramatic landscapes abroad. Wolf Tide is an exploration into Arnold’s unique lifestyle which captures multiple expressions from the serene tranquility when tides are calm, to an immediate transformation where the imagery becomes blustery, raw and at times unsettling. Arnold reveals the beauty of his environment, as he lives his life in anticipation of inexplicable found moments set in locations throughout The Bering Sea, Europe, South Africa, the Atlantic, and the Arctic. His subjects include humans, eagles, gulls, deer, vast seascapes and surreal landscapes but further inspection of the images leads to a greater curiosity. Wolf Tideinvestigates the mystery of what lies beyond, leaving the viewer feeling a sense of wonderment about something intangible looming in the distance always present, yet never fully revealing itself.

Katina Desmond: Reflecting Presence
Admission: Free
Tah Gallery presents Katina Desmond's series of photographs from nature - an intriguing selection of hand painted silver gelatin photographs, and archival photo prints on paper and aluminum. Each photograph is transformed masterfully using oil painting, collage and digital techniques which impressively manipulate the images with a fluency that allows the viewer to see the world anew. Desmond's work is imbued with a synthesis of vibrant energy and emotive density - an amalgamation in which two or more distinct layers merge to form a complete image. Her blended techniques of photography, painting and multi-media facilitate the dimensional aspects her work embodies.

Portraits of Renown: Photography and the Cult of Celebrity
Admission: Free, Parking $15
Photography's remarkable propensity to shape visual identities has made it the leading vehicle for representing the famous. Soon after photography was invented in the 1830s, it was used to capture the likenesses and accomplishments of great men and women, gradually supplanting other forms of commemoration. In the twentieth century, the proliferation of photography and the transformative power of fame have helped to accelerate the desire for photographs of celebrities in magazines, newspapers, advertisements, and on the Internet. Drawn from the J. Paul Getty Museum's collection, the exhibition surveys some of the visual strategies used by photographers to picture the famous from the 1840s to the year 2000.

Herb Ritts: L.A. Style
Admission: Free, Parking $15
Herb Ritts (American, 1952–2002) was a Los Angeles-based photographer who established an international reputation for his distinctive photographs of fashion models, nudes, and celebrities. From the late 1970s until his untimely death from AIDS in 2002, Ritts's ability to create photographs that successfully bridged the gap between art and commerce was not only a testament to the power of his imagination and technical skill but also marked the synergy between art, popular culture, and business that followed in the wake of the Pop Art movement of the 1960s and 1970s. This exhibition features a selection of Ritts's vintage prints, magazine covers, Polaroids, and commercial video projects.

Play it as it Lays: Picturing California
Admission: Free
Play it as it Lays: Picturing California is a group photography show of California images that share a quiet and somber tone. Images of people seeking connection and focus, as well as landscapes that illuminate a certain psychological haze that one could argue is distinct to California. On a grander scale, this haze seems to transcend California and taps into a timely sensibility of people trying to navigate through social and political blurriness to figure out who they are in the world, dealing with what they have. The pictures evoke the inner-workings of individuals alone in their own head. Alone, yet not necessarily lonely. Just free to awkwardly unravel and to get lost for a while in the landscape of California.

Nancy Monk: Black Matter
Admission: Free
Nancy Monk’s sixth solo show at Craig Krull Gallery, “Black Matter”, equally demonstrates the gallery’s interest in the transformative possibilities of photographic manipulations. The exhibition includes recent paintings on vintage
stereoscopic cards, as well as complex, textured collages, and works on delicate paper. In “Fall Road,” the artist paints Aboriginal-like outlines and silhouettes over an image of the Niagara Falls so that the waterfall becomes a tree and boulders become a horse. In other, large-scale works on paper, Monk paints complex, patterned Seussian bouquets that are mesmeric arrangements of positive and negative space. Nancy Monk’s playfully inventive approach is characterized by an almost obsessive enchantment with ornamentation and design, as well as an imaginative freshness in the combination of materials.

Analog Salon and EVFA Present: Looking Glass
Admission: Free
Everyone knows a painter, for example, starts with a blank canvas and piles of pigment and that whether they makes landscape, portrait, or abstract images based in whole, in part, or not at all on external phenomenon, that the thing they make is wholly created from “nothing” or, put another way “imagination” whereas photography by definition involves interacting with the external world not entirely of your making. For LOOKING GLASS I’ve assembled a dozen photographers whose work is in various ways made in a collaboration between the imagination and the world — to explore ways that the camera is an expressive, fantastical, imaginative and pliable medium as well as form of document that contains evidence of external reality.

John Klukas: Phantom Queen
Admission: Free
Artist Statement: “I like creating something that doesn’t really exist – a physical representation of a fantasy or dream. I begin an image usually with a vision or a sketch from a dream. From there I pull together my team, cast a model and build the environment in which the image is to take place. I often invent lighting schemes and camera techniques to support the realization of my images. These settings do not exist and so I cannot use traditional means to document them. I must go outside the normal boundaries of how a camera is used and instead use it’s unique characteristics to distort and blur reality in order to create my images."
