I’m lucky to be in a photo group that is kind of awesome. We meet once per month in person and basically hang out. There are no rules, no agendas, no points, no competitions, just nice people sharing what they are working on, and drinking coffee.
On occasion, we get organized and do a group show. This is one of those occasions and definitely one of the best. At The Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson Wisconsin, we just installed 33 works from nine talented photographers in Gallery 2. The basic premise was that each of the works had a step in the process done by hand.
“Traditional prints expand the sensory experience of the viewer and celebrate the tactile nature of the print itself as a one-of-a-kind artwork.”
See prints made in several processes including:
- Kallitype
- Kirlian photography
- Silver gelatin (black and white darkroom print)
- Polymer Photogravure
- Van Dyke Brown
- Hand painted
- Something called a photographic confection
Hope to see you at the opening this Friday at 6:30 PM at 109 Locust St, Hudson, WI 54016. The exhibition will be on display from June 28th – August 4th.
