Hidden Visions "Hidden Visions" is a study on the meditative world of photography, one quite forgotten at times. It is an
exhibition that aims to explore the crossover between our traditional view of photography, and one that is free of the (potential) restraints of a camera. Whether it be through photograms manipulated negatives, or projections, there is an appealing nature to the study of how the photograph can be pushed forward, beyond its traditional state, into new perspectives, new methods, and, all the while, getting an interesting look back at the world of photography. |

From the Range: Pot Bottoms
and Naked Eye Objects |
In this spirit, my series "Pot bottoms" and "Naked Eye Objects," 2005-08, present the bottoms of pots and pans, revealing the changes that occur imperceptibly, and over time, on the undersides of these cooking utensils. Thrown into detailed focus is the daily contact between metals, fire and a variety of foods and products. The final photographs, showing different sized "discs" floating in black, either metallic or boldly colored, are 'abstractions' and yet, still pots, shifted to another scale. That these can be compared to planets, individual and clustered, (but will land you back in the kitchen!), and otherwise range from the "optical" to seemingly "archaeological" activates the surprise of seeing simultaneously 'straight' and metaphorically, seeing 'the thing itself' and 'the thing as other.' |

Laura Parker, Rotations and Animations Armory Center for the Arts Opening Reception: Saturday, March 6, 2 - 4pm
|
Pasadena, CA - A two-part solo exhibition by Laura Parker entitled Rotations and Animations, will open at the Armory Center for the Arts in the Pasadena Art Alliance Gallery on Saturday, March 6, 2 - 4pm and will be on view through April 18, 2010. This exhibition explores Parker’s use of both photographic and time based media. In her work entitled “Rotations”, the artist returns to the analog (darkroom printed) color photograph to create multi-image structures that reference experimental film through a kinetic opticality. This work partly springs from her forays into digital film animation, but is actually a new iteration of her ongoing interest in time, structure and a playful dissection of the act of looking itself. The discreet photographs structured into these multi-image wall installations combine a projected negative and a photogram. This is a complex two-step process produced in complete darkness. She applies this technique, quite specifically, to create circular images that float within a black field with a light 'halo' around the perimeter. Similarly, for her short "Animations", Parker works with digital 'stills' that are also edited one frame at a time. Having such a high degree of involvement in the time-based aspect of manipulating each of a series of still frames allows for an improvisational, gestural approach. These short animations also contend with photography’s link to spatial and temporal aspects of film. This exhibition is made possible in part by the Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission and the City of Pasadena Cultural Affairs Division and will be on view in the Pasadena Art Alliance Gallery at the Armory is at 145 North Raymond Avenue, Pasadena, and will be open Tuesday – Sunday, noon-5 p.m. The Armory is easily accessible from the Gold Line Memorial Park Station in Pasadena .
