Bay Area Currents @Pro Arts

What we can’t see but want to see is art
BAY AREA CURRENTS 2012
Selections by Renny Pritikin
Director, Richard L. Nelson Gallery and Fine Arts Collection, University of California, Davis

July 3 – August 24, 2012
Artists’ Reception: Friday, July 6, 6-8pm
Artists’ Talk: Friday, August 3, 6pm

I have 3 panoramas from Japan in this show – including new work just completed. I won’t be at the opening but I will be at the closing event.  I saw the show a couple days ago and there was some really striking – and really large – work.

A preview of “Through Line,” opening at @bedfordga A preview of “Through Line,” opening at @bedfordgallery Bedford Gallery in January with @bapcsf - curated by @artalatrinca

This work began nearly ten years ago, with photographs made on train journeys. I've been returning to it recently, rethinking how it might exist beyond the photographs themselves.

For this exhibition, the panoramic images will be printed directly onto the gallery wall in horizontal strips, gradually taking shape over the course of the show.

I've been revisiting earlier projects and finding new ways to bring them into the present. It's been an interesting way to rethink the work and where it might go next.

Deena Qabazard @deenamachina
Sam Soon @samsoooooooon

The selected artists for FORECAST 2026 share an interest in the theoretical dimensions of photography: time, reality, and memory. Each artist brings these ideas into contemporary focus through formalist intervention, material investigation, and autobiography.

> jurors, Janet Delaney @janet_delaney, Omar Farah @omarjasonfarah, and Jonathan Mark Jackson @_jmjackson, thanks!

A teaser for my upcoming show at Bedford Gallery t A teaser for my upcoming show at Bedford Gallery this January.

An iPhone, a moving train, and a panorama mode used wrong. THROUGH LINE is a mural printed onto the gallery wall strip by strip, so it keeps growing through the show. Hills repeat, foregrounds smear, diagonals break apart. It’s what travel looks like when the camera tries to keep up.
