Jessica Hilvitz & Jeremiah Ellis


Opening Reception: Thursday, February 24th from 6-9pm

1st Friday Reception: March 4th from 6-10pm
Third Friday: Friday, March 18th from 5-8pm

Exhibition Dates Thursday, February 24th to March 19th, 2011

Boxcar Gallery celebrates Month-of-Photography (MOP) by presenting Cherry Mash. This exhibition features the photographic works' of Boxcar members Jessica Hilvitz and Jeremiah Ellis.

Jessica Hilvitz’s work takes art history traditions, mythology, and conventional ideals transforming them into concurrent narratives without time.  Images of food and the female figure are used to signify a relationship between consumer culture and the typecasting of women. The works are images of traditional goddesses that are scanned, collaged, and framed into a contemporary consumer culture.

For Jeremiah Ellis, art is not conventional; it shadows facets of his life. In his new work he uses, imagery of taxidermy, sexualized female forms, and large scale faces to capture an ephemeral moment. This composite imagery illuminates the artist’s insights into the world around; revealing the contemplation of consumption. This reality is what designates it’s self as black or white, and might be left unseen within a quick glance.
 
Gallery hours are Friday & Saturday from 12-5pm,
or by appointment by calling 303.725.7047

Center for Fine Art Photography


Human+Being
March 25 - April 23 Reception April 1, 6 - 9PM

The Center for Fine Art Photography brings the Month of Photography to Fort Collins. With an unprecedented four exhibitions all dipping into the month of March, the Center will feature more contemporary photography than ever before. Though the subjects and media are varied - from portraits to still life, digital to wet plate - the vitality of this spectrum will convince you that photography does not age gracefully but is reborn again and again.



Portraits
February 4 - March 19, Main Gallery Reception March 4, 6 - 9PM Artists’ talk March 5, 1 - 2PM
An exhibition of photographs that explore the visual representation of a person, animal, place or thing. The featured works expand the traditional notion of “eyes front, smile” portraits, extending the concept to explore sense of place and personal experience. The 47 contributing artists represent an impressive constituency of local, national and international talent.
Noteworthy award winners in the mix include: Leo Mendonca, Juror’s Selection, Dorothy O’Connor, Director’s Selection and Samuel Moulin, Director’s Honorable Mention. The list of Juror’s Honorable Mentions is a lengthy testament to the high caliber of this show: Alan Wentworth, PD Rearick, Charles Rozier, Lanny Linehan, Klara Hanincova, Martin Gremm and Colorado’s own Alpen Badgett.
The images were selected by legendary photographer Rodney Smith. A student of Walker Evans at Yale in the 70s and today widely exhibited in major galleries the world over and collected by Rockefellers and rock stars alike - Smith continues the Center’s tradition for sourcing absolute excellence in exhibition jurors.


(In)Direct
February 2 - March 5, North Gallery Reception March 4, 6 - 9PM Artist talk with S. Gayle Stevens March 5, 2 - 3:30PM
Featuring wet plate collodion and glass plate photographs by S. Gayle Stevens, Christopher Ray Perez, Mark Sink and Kristen Hatgi. From the intimacy of eye contact to an abstracted ambiguity of self, the selected images utilize the historic wet plate process – defying time and contemplating mortality.
S. Gayle Stevens has worked in antiquarian processes for over fifteen years, preferring the fluidity and individuality of wet plate collodion. Dubbed the “Alt Queen” by her students, Stevens teaches alternative photo processes at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn Illinois.
Christopher Ray Perez is a self-taught photographer who specializes in street style portraiture using the painstaking ambrotype process, resulting in honest but surreal imagery.
Mark Sink and Kristen Hatgi began their collaborative studies in wet plate collodion in the summer of 2008. The resultant mix of still life, portraits, nudes and landscapes is a romantic blend of the modern and the antique. Making a living from fine art photography since 1978, Sink is well known for his imagery made with the toy Diana camera. Widely collected and exhibited, he is represented by G. Ray Hawkins in CA, Robin Rice in NY, Rule Gallery in Denver. Kristen Hatgi (BFA 2008) has exhibited her photography locally and nationally. Inspired a decade ago by local teacher and collector Paul Harbaugh, Hatgi later came to work for Mark and Gallery Sink.

Jellico Gallery - Patricia Barry Levy


From Reality to Make Believe
     Work from photographer Patricia Barry Levy’s PrairieDreams series will be included as part of a group show in conjunction with Denver’s Month of Photography.
Opening Friday, March 4, 2011 from 4:30 to 7:30 PM

     Real places and real things are transformed into the make believe, and used to tell imaginative stories. The whimsical narratives are inspired by the plains, grasslands and ranches that spread east from Denver. Levy makes regular visits to gather the landscapes, skies, and special elements that are blended with her studio photos and scans. The resulting new images take on another life of metaphor and visual intrigue.
     About the three pieces on display, Levy says “Besides showing the work, I’m excited to have come up with a new way of displaying it that makes for an immediate, rich connection – hint, no glass!”

Evan Anderman Photography


Obscurity is the inward exploration of the physicality of light and how it can be bent and shaped through interaction with other media. The result is appealing abstracts that trick the eye and capture the imagination.

While obscurity can be defined as the deficiency or absence of light, it can also be defined as indistinctness. Curvy, mysterious, and sometimes unfocused, the light in these photos create subtle tonal gradations and overlapping forms that alternate across a field. Viewers often bring their own words to these images, perhaps from the dark and obscure recesses of the mind, a Rorschach test of a different form.

Please join me for an opening reception of this new work at my studio/gallery in the Bolt Factory, 209 Kalamath St., Denver, on First Friday March 4th from 6-9 PM.

Visitors to the Art Walk on Santa Fe may take the First Friday shuttle to and from the Bolt Factory, where they will have the opportunity to visit several additional galleries and artists.

I will also be hosting a Gallery Talk on Third Friday March 18th at 6:30 PM where I will talk about the process and inspiration behind this work.

Photo enthusiasts are welcome to visit the gallery Mondays and Wednesdays from Noon to 6 pm through March or by appointment.

This exhibit is part of the Month of Photography (MoP), Denver that is a celebration of fine art photography through over 100 collaborative public events throughout Denver and the region for the 
 month of March 2011.

March 3 - April 15, 2011. 

Reception: Thursday, March 3, 6-9 pm. Artist Talks tba

Curated by Rupert Jenkins for the Colorado Photographic Arts Center [CPAC]

Double Diptych brings together eight of Denver’s most innovative artists who work with photography. The theme of the show is self-explanatory – each artist was invited to present two diptychs that reflect their ongoing interests. In this show, the diptych operates in two distinct ways: as subjective reading of an assumed narrative, and as evidence of the artist’s creative source.
Monique Crine, Ian Fisher, and Greg Friedler each use the photograph as source material for their portrait drawings. Fisher uses family snapshots to draw isolated portraits of his grandfather; Crine’s subject is a neighborhood child, whose world she regularly photographs; and Friedler transforms studio nudes into almost-primitive pencil-and-ink renderings. Cinthea Fiss presents a video split-screen as well as a pair of related photographs that collectively recollect San Francisco’s punk music scene in the 80s; Conor King uses digital technologies to create a link between past and future Arctic explorations;  John Davenport, Edie Winograde, and Kate Levy each construct more traditional photo-diptychs: Davenport pairs a distressed glass-plate image with his younger self; Winograde returns to her investigations into restaged American battles; and Levy juggles images from several ongoing documentary series’.
