Group Show: Ersatz Group Show |
6/4/09-8/22/09 |
In advance of this summer exhibition, SF Camerawork extended an invitation to its member base to participate in an all inclusive group mail art show.
Ersatz Group Exhibition uses the aesthetics and mechanisms of the postal service as means for an exhibition of artwork created by mail. Mail art has evolved as an artistic genre since the mid 20th century and remains a popular form of expression due to its egalitarian, free form structure. Keeping within an egalitarian framework, the exhibition is co-curated by UPS professional Dennis D’Ambrogio, with assistance from co-curators Chris Fitzpatrick and Chuck Mobley.
Curators Larry Rinder and Evelyne Jouanno have been invited to tour the exhibition in advance of the opening and respond to the work in the exhibition catalog that will accompany the show. The catalog will serve as a directory of international artists, and beginning in July will be available in book form from print-on-demand company Blurb, as well as a downloadable PDF on SF Camerawork’s website.
In the spirit of a creative exchange economy, once the exhibition closes all participants will receive a piece of original work from the exhibition that will be redistributed randomly alongside SF Camerawork’s publication, Camerawork: A Journal of Photographic Arts, in September 2009. One work from the exhibition will be chosen for the cover of this special issue.

Fan Ho: The Living Theatre |
6/5/09-8/2/09 |
Modernbook Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of work by renowned Chinese photographer Fan Ho.
Featuring black and white photographs of Hong Kong in the 1950’s and 1960’s, Fan Ho’s exhibition showcases the lives and environs of the people who inhabited the city. From bustling markets to lonely alleyways, Ho captured the mood and the atmosphere that permeated the changing metropolis, imbuing the mundane scenes he saw through his lens with a sense of drama that belies the everyday moment in view. The exhibition is in conjunction with the release of Ho’s second monograph, The Living Theatre (Modernbook Editions, 2009). A booksigning and reception will be held Friday, June 5th. www.modernbook.com
