 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

From colorful contemporary prints, rare early 20th century photograms to hand-painted Hungarian cabinet cards from the 1880s this show will have something for everyone who loves one-of-a-kind photographic prints. Join us for the opening during the Ballard Night Out art walk on Thursday, July 20th from 6-9pm. 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.  |
