In addition to the curated exhibit, a selection of photographs from BAPC founders and a nifty timeline of BAPC’s 20-year run will be on display. The timeline encompasses an important part of my own history as an artist over the last decade.  It will be printed in the exhibition catalog and also presented in a large format on the wall.

About the exhibit (by curator Meg Shiffler)

“What you have caught on film is captured forever…
it remembers everything, long after you have
forgotten everything.” – Aaron Siskind

“How do we mark time? We all do it. Humans compulsively invent new ways to drop pins in the flow of time so that as much of life as possible takes root in our personal memories and collective consciousness. On the occasion of Bay Area Photographers Collective’s 20th anniversary, Marking Time honors the founders and celebrates the vibrancy and diversity of the current membership through recent works that highlight our relationships to each other, the built and natural world, and photography itself.

Each photographer in this exhibition is a visual storyteller, and has marked time by taking a dynamic role in defining a moment, a perfect moment. Members’ works take viewers to a New Orleans cemetery, fields in California’s Central Valley, and the streets of Mexico City. We meet elders from India, transit riders in San Francisco, dancers at a recital, and gamers at play. There are panoramic images that slice a scene into fragments that physically reflect time and speed, and abstract works created with fast shutter speeds followed by slow, sculptural manipulations of the resulting prints.

It is truly remarkable that this artists’ collective has not only endured, but thrived for twenty years. It’s my honor to have worked with every member to curate this anniversary exhibition.”

Exhibiting artists (current members of BAPC):
Jason Andrescavage, Rose Borden, Tamara Danoyan, Anthony Delgado, Gene Dominique, Richard Dweck, Dan Fenstermacher, Linda Fitch, Steve Goldband, Ralf Hillebrand, Ken Hoffman, Ellen Konar, Philip Krayna, Tom Lavin, Dan Lythcott-Haims, Mitch Nelles, Ari Salomon, Angelika Schilli, Cindy Stokes, Rusty Weston, and Nick Winkworth

I will have one image from my new series Rapid Express in this group show. This is the premier exhibition for this new series and I’m very excited to have it out in the world.

BAPC and Berkeley Art Center will be participating in the inaugural year of the Bay Area Month of Photography. Curator Ann Jastrab is Editor In Chief at All About Photo. She was the gallery director for Rayko Photo in San Francisco for ten years.
