Show: The Male Gaze Artists: Robert Calafiore, Robert Flynt, Brian Henry, Antonio J. Martinez, John O’Reilly, Eric Potts, and Robert A. Williams Venue: Gallery 1/1 / 2221 NW 56th St Event: May 17th 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/170794486969394/ Showing through July 14th In a twist on the traditional feminist interpretation of the “male gaze,” GALLERY 1/1 presents a new photography exhibition exploring how men see themselves and other men from behind the camera lens. The featured artists address themes of sexual desire, identity, self-reflection, masculinity, and the dynamics of power that are core critiques of the objectifying male gaze. As you know, we specialize in one-of-a-kind alternative and experimental photographic prints adding an exciting and unique challenge to creating this figurative photography show, The Male Gaze.
 Artists: Thomas Condon & Juan Manuel Fernandez Venue: Gallery 1/1 / 2221 NW 56th St. Suite 102 Event: April 19th 6pm - 9pm Showing through: May 12th Join us to celebrate Spring this Thursday from 6-9pm during the monthly Ballard Night Out. We will pull some tasty bottles from the cellar, so drop by and toast the season and the one-of-a-kind experimental prints by Thomas Condon and Juan Manuel Fernandez now on view through May 12th. Cheers Rain or Shine, Dan Shepherd, GALLERY 1/1 Director/Owner Featured Artists Tom Condon received his BFA in Painting from Virginia Tech and his MFA in Photography & Film from Virginia Commonwealth University, VCUarts. At GALLERY 1/1 we love to see the “hand of the artist” expressed in the prints we exhibit and Tom Condon exemplifies that amalgam of painting and photography with his unique silver gelatin chemigrams. Tom was a sucessful young painter until a life-changing accident shattered both of his arms leaving him unable to paint the same without pain. He turned to photography as his new medium and has refound his artistic voice with the painterly chemigram method of making prints. This experimental process utilizes a painterly application of photochemistry to light sensitive paper creating new imagery that Tom describes as an “imagining of the simultaneous impossibility of the abstract and the familiarity of the real.” We are presenting Tom’s Seattle debut exhibition with a selection of exciting new work in his Homomorphism series made during his current tenure as a Staff Artist for the Vermont Studio Center. See more of hisunique prints on our website. Juan Manuel Fernandez is an artist and educator based in the Aurora, Illinois. GALLERY 1/1 is pleased to present the Pacific Northwest debut of Juan's "Objective" series of tintype photograms. His series puts a contemporary twist on the historic wet plate collodion process to create photogram tintypes of geometric designs that defy the first impression of just simple shapes to reveal a much more complex and multifaceted construction the deeper you look. This reflects some of Juan's experience growing up as a Latino in the American Midwest. As a father of young children, Juan was inspired to see the world through their eyes particularly with their interest in colorful geometric shapes and how they are constructed. When not in the darkroom making personal work, Juan is an Adjunct Professor of Photography at Judson University, Elgin Community College, and Waubonsee Community College. He earned a BFA in Photography from Columbia College Chicago and an MFA from Northern Illinois University. Collections holding Juan's photography include Rockford Art Museum, The Center for Photography at Woodstock, Museum of Contemporary Photography, and Columbia College Chicago.

Venue: Gallery 1/1 / 2221 NW 56th St Event: March 15th 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/536344990083560/ Showing: March 15th - May 12th GALLERY 1/1 is excited to present the Seattle debut of artists Thomas Condon and Juan Manuel Fernandez who each have a unique approach to creating hand-made photographic prints. Tom combines his training as a painter with an experimental “chemigram” technique, which utilizes hand-applied photochemistry to light-sensitive silver-gelatin paper create new - rather than reveal existing - images. Juan puts a contemporary twist on the historic wet plate collodion process to create photogram tintypes of complex geometric designs that are cameraless images made using darkroom techniques to produce the illusion of depth and dimension. These creations were inspired by trying to see the world through his kid's inquisitive eyes. Join us for the Opening Reception on Thursday, March 15th from 6-9 p.m. during the Ballard Night Out. The exhibition runs through Saturday, May 12th.  Show: 2nd Anniversary Group Show

 Show: Color Darkroom Innovators Artists: Robert Calafiore & Joseph Minek gallery1of1.com/Exhibit_Detail.cfm?ShowsID=79 Venue: Gallery 1/1 / 2856 NW Market St Ste 2G in BallardWorks Event: October 19th 6pm - 9pm Showing: Now through November 11th GALLERY 1/1 is pleased to present the West Coast debuts of two innovative photographic artists, Hartford-based Robert Calafiore and Cleveland-based Joseph Minek. This two-person exhibition will feature new work by these artists who embrace process, material, and traditional darkroom techniques and each has elevated their studio-based craft into an exciting direction for photography. Calafiore employs his hand-built pinhole camera to create vivid large-scale one-of-a-kind chromogenic prints of abstracted still life tableaus constructed with mid-century modern glass objects. Minek also has a modernist abstract painterly quality to his work that he achieves by applying photographic chemistry on light sensitive color paper breaking all the traditional darkroom rules. He then assembles the paper elements into collaged mosaics of striking form and color.   Artist: Robert Calafiore and Joseph Minek: Color Darkroom Innovators
Venue: Gallery 1/1 / in BallardWorks building 2856 NW Market St Studio #2G Event: September 21st 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/932848993533269 Showing: September 21st - November 11th GALLERY 1/1 is pleased to present the West Coast debuts of two innovative photographic artists, Hartford-based Robert Calafiore and Cleveland-based Joseph Minek. This two-person exhibition will feature new work by these artists who embrace process, material, and traditional darkroom techniques and each have elevated their studio-based craft into an exciting direction for contemporary photography. ABOUT THE ARTISTS Robert Calafiore employs his hand-built pinhole camera to create vivid large-scale one-of-a-kind chromogenic prints of abstracted still life tableaus. Robert has an extensive collection of mid-century modern glassware and he transforms these vintage glass objects into precarious and futuristic arrangements. His interest in the process, traditional materials, and the reaction between light and chemistry, as well as the personal and universal stories told through everyday objects, drives the work in his studio practice. Elevating the ordinary to the extraordinary, the every day to a magical place, continues to be one of his primary motivators. Robert received his MFA in Photography from the State University of New York at Buffalo and his BFA in Photography from Hartford Art School. Currently, he lives and works in West Hartford, CT where he is the Assistant Dean of the Hartford Art School. His prints have been exhibited widely including the Griffin Museum of Photography, Winchester, MA, Center for Fine Art Photography, Ft. Collins, CO, Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY, and Klompching Gallery, Brooklyn, NY. Joseph Minek focuses on the potentiality of photographic material, most notably its ability to transcend its conventional analysis and use in image-making. By applying photographic chemistry to exposed light sensitive papers, he constructs images whose colors, marks, and compositions reference the aesthetics of modernist abstract paintings while remaining firmly rooted in the realm of photography through size and surface value. Joe’s primary pursuit lies in how photographic material is translated into images beyond the traditional processes, and how these images can influence viewers to reflect on not only what is shown through the imagery but also the possibilities of the photographic medium. He is an artist based in Cleveland, OH and received his MFA in Photography & Film from Virginia Commonwealth University and his BFA in photography from the Cleveland Institute of Art. He has exhibited his work nationally in spaces such as the Cleveland Museum of Art, INDEX, and Capital One Headquarters. Joseph holds busy Adjunct Faculty positions at The Cleveland Institute of Art and Cuyahoga Community College.  Show: Summer Salon
Venue: Gallery 1/1 / 2856 NW Market St, #2G Event: August 17th 6pm - 9pm Showing through September 9th The GALLERY 1/1 "Summer Salon" show includes one-of-a-kind photographs that we have selected from our flat files and backroom that we have not previously exhibited. We will be featuring some very affordable and exciting contemporary prints mixed with some rare vintage classics. FEATURED ARTISTS Jonas Yip - His unique hand-pulled Polaroids rework long-expired chemicals to reveal evocative landscapes and cloudscapes reminiscent of Classical Chinese Shan Shui paintings, which did not aim to depict the realistic appearance of nature but rather capture its essence and rhythm, and ultimately express the artist’s inner landscape. http://www.gallery1of1.com/Artist-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=1192 Daniel Kukla - Impossible Project Instant Film from the Proving Grounds series. Taken at at sea in the archipelago of Svalbard within the Arctic Circle. The abstracted nature of these unique prints is due to the subzero temperatures causing "semi-failures" of the camera and film medium. http://www.gallery1of1.com/Artwork-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=1182&NewID=10764 Paula Riff -Cyanotype on hand-marbled Japanese paper. Series: What's love got to do with it. http://www.gallery1of1.com/Artist-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=1187 Andrew K. Thompson - The Penetrating the Veil series of cameraless c-print chemigrams by Andrew is a powerful attempt to use the destructive gesture of manipulating the surface of the photographic paper to express unarticulated emotions behind the facades of everyday relationships. http://www.gallery1of1.com/Artwork-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=1181&NewID=10756 Featured Artists: Jonas Yip / gallery1of1.com/Artist-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=1192

Happy Summer, Dan Shepherd, GALLERY 1/1 Director/Owner Schedule Your Gallery Visit Artists: Brianna Tadeo & DM Witman Venue: Gallery 1/1 / 2856 NW Market St #2G Event: May 18th 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/435711166795507/ Join us during the Ballard Night Out, Thursday, May 18th for a special opportunity to meet the featured artists of our exhibit, "Photo Biologique: Light + Life." Brianna Tadeo will be in town from Oakland, CA for one night only to talk about her vibrant "Blood Prints" and share for the first time some behind the scenes video of her color darkroom process. DM Witman will be joining live via Skype from her darkroom studio in Maine to give us a peek into how she collaborates with common garden slugs to make her cosmically inspired "Supercluster Arion and Other Phenomena" series of silver-gelatin prints. You won't want to miss the chance to learn about these incredibly unique prints and meet the artists who make them.   Show: Photo Biologique: Light + Life, featuring Brianna Tadeo & DM Witman Venue: Gallery 1/1 / 2856 NW Market St #2G Opening: April 20th 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/1348633991896020/ Showing: April 20th - June 10th Join us on Thursday, April 20th from 6-9 pm for the Opening of our latest exhibiton of unique photographic prints, Photo Biologique: Light + Life. We are featuring two artists, Brianna Tadeo and DM Witman, who could be considered biological alchemists in the darkroom. They are exploiting the chemical properties of the photographic medium by harnessing the power of blood and slugs to make their photographic prints. Photography is usually defined by its classical meaning “drawing with light” but with our latest exhibition, Photo Biologique: Light + Life, we are showcasing two artists, Brianna Tadeo and DM Witman, who each have added a unique biological twist to their traditional darkroom print making methods. Brianna Tadeo is a fine art photographer based in Oakland, CA. Her vibrant abstract prints are created with an experimental cameraless darkroom process developed by Brianna that combines photo-chemistry, blood and animal organs from the butcher to show a singular moment of the gradual process of cellular decay. She is compressing time into a single instance with these unique one-of-a-kind chromogenic Blood Prints. DM Witman is an award-winning artist-educator based in Maine. With her series Supercluster Arion and Other Phenomena, Deanna continues to explore her themes of obsession – ephemerality, biology, synergy, and finding a way to make the intangible tangible. Over the course of two years, she worked with common slugs directly on silver- gelatin photographic paper. The process involved nightly slug hunting trips into the woods, followed by late night darkroom sessions. An introduction to these one-of-a-kind prints was written by the esteemed scientist and best-selling author, Alan Lightman, who wrote, “In discerning a resemblance of Witman’s slug tracings to the majestic display of the galaxies, we find some union between the very small and the very large, between the fleeting and the long lived, between the animate and the inanimate. And if we can also find in these images a touch of beauty, a sense of imagination, and a flight of whimsy and provocation, then we have fully experienced the voyage that all art attempts to create.”   Show: Illumination: Capturing Light Without a Camera Artists: Jan Cook & Ross Sonnenberg Venue: Gallery 1/1 / 2856 NW Market St Studio #2G Dates: February 16th - April 15th Opening Reception: February 16th 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/373151156383292/ The essence of photography is the capture of light to create a visible image. A camera is, by design, a light capturing device but what if you don't use a camera to capture the light? For our exhibition, Illumination - Capturing Light Without a Camera, we feature two artists who make photographic prints with the cameraless alternative process know as a photogram. Each artist in this exhibition has a unique method to create their visual illuminations on photographic paper. Jan Cook uses a process called “chromoskedasic painting” on her silver-gelatin photograms during the black and white development process by applying photo chemistry that manipulates the paper’s emulsion to scatter the silver particles. This allows Jan to work with several elements that are interesting to her, making marks on paper, altering a photographic image and integrating another medium into the surface of the print. Visually, she is interested in pushing the boundary between where the photographic image begins and ends. Such a hands-on effect gives her photograms a unique radiance that belies the black and white nature of the paper. The light bulbs in her series Bright Ideas seem to glow as if they were electrified. This process is not commonly used and it is a rare treat to see these kind of print in person. Ross Sonnenberg has embraced a very physical photographic process that could be described as “controlled chaos” which reflects his on going chaotic battle with Lupus. The imagery of distant galaxies from the Hubble telescope inspired him to create a series of unique solar system photogram prints with a “big bang” of his own – fireworks. Ross exposes both chromogenic color paper and silver-gelatin black & white paper to the flashes of exploding fireworks crafting his other worldly visions of an alternate universe. He gives may of his prints a final celestial touch by using a hand-held magnifying glass and the Southern California sun to burn a radiant halo into them. With these one-of-a-kind photograms, Ross harnesses the power of light in a very unconventional and exciting way.  |
