Light Sensitive 2024 Opening Reception

Posted

This past Saturday, we celebrated the opening reception for Light Sensitive 2024, our annual exhibition dedicated to traditional and alternative photographic processes. The gallery came alive with stunning works showcasing the creative possibilities of light and chemistry, all crafted by talented artists who continue to push the boundaries of these timeless techniques.

 

A highlight of the evening was a special showcase by Dennis Collins, a distinguished artist whose mastery of these photographic methods has spanned decades. Dennis shared a captivating selection of prints from his extensive career, offering attendees a glimpse into the evolution of his artistic vision.

We’re thrilled to announce that Dennis Collins will return for an artist talk Wednesday, December 4 in Gallery 4! This special event, held in the gallery, will provide an opportunity to hear about his inspirations, techniques, and experiences as a photographer throughout his career. Keep an eye out for the official date—we can’t wait to see you there!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this exciting kickoff. If you missed the reception, the exhibition will remain on view in the gallery until January 11th, 2025—stop by to experience the magic of Light Sensitive 2024.

Light Sensitive

Posted

Art Intersection presents Light Sensitive, our thirteenth, international juried exhibition of images created using traditional darkroom, historical, and alternative photographic processes and methods. This year we are honored to have photographer and alternative photography process artisan Kerik Kouklis jury the submitted work.

As we have seen technology trends continue to popularize digital photography on our computer displays, Light Sensitive highlights art from artists working in traditional and historical printing processes.

Light Sensitive seeks to celebrate, promote, and reaffirm the art of handcrafted prints that uniquely belong to the tradition of light sensitive creative processes. Each year we are in search for work that represents creativity, passion, and displays the beauty of these light sensitive processes.

About the Juror

Kerik Kouklis is a fine art photographer, filmmaker, and educator who specializes in creating handmade photographs and documentary films. Born and raised in California with a background in music and a 30-year career as an environmental geologist under his belt, Kerik combines a contemporary eye with 19th-century processes to produce work that is uniquely his own. Influenced by the pictorialists of the early 20th century, he makes images that can be at once calm and unsettling. Working in a variety of formats from small digital cameras up to large view cameras, Kerik uses both film and digital negatives to create his prints. Kerik’s website.

Picturing Resistance In Gallery 4

Posted

Picturing Resistance presents images from marches, protests, rallies, and demonstrations, showing people, in the public view, voicing their passion for change. Public protests embody dissent and express  the urgency for policy change. While voting can directly influence decisions and policy making, the power of protests can shift voting behaviors in marginal voters, and empower disengaged voters

Our juror, Ken Light, photographer, author, and a Reva and David Logan Professor of Photojournalism at the University of California, Berkeley, selected these works from online submitted images.

Melanie Light and Ken Light’s book, Picturing Resistance, serves as the inspiration for this juried exhibition, and a must own book for anyone interested in social justice movements in the past seven decades. 

About the Juror
Ken Light, a freelance documentary photographer for over fifty years, focuses on social issues facing America. A recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, his work has been published in twelve books, in magazines, exhibitions and numerous anthologies, exhibition catalogues and a variety of media, digital and motion picture.

His most recent book Course of the Empire, published by Steidl, portrays a decade of mounting tension in a polarized America, from Wall Street to the rural heartland and is a portrait of the American social landscape and is a riveting historical and visual record of a complicated country in a complicated time.

With These Hands
Gallery 4 presents an exhibition of work by Ken Light selected from his book With These Hands integrated in Gallery 4 with Picturing Resistance. The images in With These Hands present a vision of migrant child labor in agriculture.
