The Portfolio Walk

As a participating photographer of Photolucida, I will be included in the Portfolio Walk on the Thursday evening of the Reviews at the Portland Art Museum. Each photographer will have a table to display their prints and materials. The three-hour event is split into three sessions. Photographers are each given one hour to display their work.

This is a very busy and crowded event, free and open to the public.

See more photography in one night than most people see in a lifetime! The Portfolio Walk is a showcase of all the artists participating in Photolucida’s Portfolio Review event. Over the course of the evening, 160 photographers from all over the country and world will display their portfolios for all to see. The photographers are talented contemporary artists with fresh new voices. It’s a great chance to see modern photography at its finest. Meet the artists, see the prints, ask questions, get inspired!

Turing’s Echo @ ProArts Gallery

I’ll have one Interface image addressing the theme of repetition at Pro Arts gallery starting Jan 6 2017. 

Turing’s Echo Exhibition at Pro Arts Gallery

January 6 – January 27, 2017

During the Post-WWII era, repetition became a tool in art as both a commentary and critique of a changing society. From the serial works of Pop artists and the manufacturing techniques of many Minimalists, the prevalence of repeated forms and images directly responded to ideas of authenticity and ownership. In our current social, economic, and political climate, many are concerned that we are doomed to repeat past mistakes: be it the resurgence of Nationalism, segregation, authoritarian governments, or environmental disasters. In this context, we are excited to present a range of artists who are inspired by this contemporary context.

Reconsidering the Horizon @ PHOTO

Reconsidering the Horizon
Curated by Renny Pritikin
July 19 – August 24, 2013

Open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Noon to 6:00
Sun-Weds by appointment (please email [email protected])

Photographers in this exhibit: Thomas Lavin, Erin Malone, Ari Salomon, Anthony Delgado, Adrienne Defendi, Heather Polley, Gary Weiner, Steve Epstein, Irene Imfeld, Steve Goldband and Ellen Konar, Jack Androvich.

Discussing the theme for this exhibit, Pritikin explains he took inspiration from the filmmaker John Ford who instructed an aspiring movie maker to look at the three photographs on his wall – all of them stills from Ford’s films. “Look at the horizon line and figure out why it’s placed where it is. That’s all I’ll tell you,” said Ford.
