Vincent van Gogh's painting "Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette" is one of his lesser-known works, created in 1886. This piece stands out for its unusual subject matter and dark humor, reflecting a departure from his more typical landscapes and portraits. Learn more on our blog! https://lnkd.in/gqPjnVxz

Thrilled to announce our next exhibition in the lower gallery, a solo exhibition by San Francisco based artist Liz Steketee, Remember This • Opening reception Sat, Sep 7, 4-6 • Exhibition Statement: Through the use of photographic montage, textiles, sewing, and installation, my work investigates making of memory, and the role of the photograph in this neural process. My practice focuses on the use of multiple collage techniques to create a sense of chaos, a stew of memories. I consider memory a construct and an ever changing fluid state. I am inspired by vernacular photography and textiles as both hold onto human experiences in unique ways. I seek to understand the complex emotions that exist together at the same time- humor and sadness—beauty and fear. The contradictions are endless and fascinating. Time and time again, I find myself revisiting the theme of memory and what is real. Much of my memory feels blurry from childhood and I have used photographs from the past to help me form memories I hold today. I’m particularly interested in how photography can be stretched beyond its traditional forms and can merge with other media to expand its meaning. I use my family archive and my personal diary to do this. I employ a breaking and mending process in all my work, taking ripped and cut fragments and sewing them back together in unexpected combinations . Deconstruction of imagery forces contemplation. Reconstruction acts as a mending of that which feels broken or disparate. Together these processes result in my constructed memory of my life experiences. Memory is sewn together, constructed. At the heart of my work is the notion that it is the ordinary in life that is truly extraordinary, that memories are fluid and ever-changing. Memories change form each time we bring them up in our minds. This concept lends itself to an ephemeral quality I use in my work. Nothing and no one is permanent. I am especially tied to family memory and the expanded notion of the family album as a vehicle toward understanding universal themes in human experience. • #jentoughgallery #santafe #santafegallery #santafecounty #fiberartist #photography #mixedmedia #contemporaryart

🎨 Who Is the Stieglitz of Digital Art? 🎨 I recently dove into the works of Alfred Stieglitz, who was instrumental in elevating photography from a mere technical process to a true art form. Through his periodical Camera Work, Stieglitz not only curated the best photographers but was almost obsessive about the quality of reproduction—ensuring that every image was presented with the utmost precision. His insistence on perfection in how the work was displayed was key to its artistic recognition. 📸✨ This focus on the medium is even more critical in digital art, where the artwork often exists as nothing more than a file. The way it’s displayed—on a screen, through projection—becomes a part of the artwork itself and demands the same level of care. So, who today is taking up this role for digital art? Who is ensuring that both the creation and the presentation of digital works meet the highest standards? For me, Braw Haus stands out as a key reference in France and Europe. Who is your reference? 🤔 #DigitalArt #ArtAndTechnology #LegalPerspective #BrawHaus #ArtisticStandards

Three Men Running to the de Young Museum captured through window covering fabric. The in-camera photograph is from the Unaltered State of Reality Collection. The intent of this Collection was to use a museum space to create a new photographic body-of-work and not photograph the artwork exhibited. I wanted to see the museum as a public space documenting the visitors, architecture, and building materials through prolonged observation. In many cases, the photographs incorporate a variety of materials, reflections, and movement into the images. Another goal of the 3 year project was to create images that questioned the viewer’s assessment of the image, that is, was the image a photograph, painting, or watercolor, or something else? This idea is fundamental on how people perceive what is in front of them based on individual interpretation from upbringing, education, and biases, thereby exploring the viewer's assumptions. #photographyisart #photographyart #photography #fineartphotography #photographer #artist #artcollectors #artcurators #art #museums #MuseumCurators #artconsultants #corporatecollectors #curators #photoftheday #ContemporaryArt #collection #originalprint #interiordesign #fineart #prints #fineartphotography #artwork

We're hosting the second solo exhibition of the remarkable Spanish artist duo, Angel Albarrán and Anna Cabrera, titled "Photographic Syntax." This exhibit takes inspiration from their artist book 'Photographic Syntax', co-published by (M) éditions & IBASHO, offering deep insights into their artistic journey and what photography means for them: 'The possibility of having a tool with which to investigate reality is what drew us to the photographic medium. At first we photographed with the simple intention of recording what we saw. But soon our interest shifted from capturing the superficial appearance of reality to investigating its “underlying structure”. Thus, photography has in this way become the perfect philosophical tool with which to understand the world and our images are the by-product of that investigation, the notebooks of our research.’ ‘Photographic Syntax’ will run from 27 January - 10 March 2024. Join us for the vernissage on 27 January from 2-6 pm.

Curator’s Tour RENAISSANCE With curator Leonie Radine 📅 27.06.2024, 19:00 ➡️ Free entry ➡️ Booking required - bit.ly/3yZZr3n Guided tour in the exhibition RENAISSANCE with curator Leonie Radine. The exhibition features works by 15 young artists from northern Italy. Despite the diversity of their practices – including sculpture, installation, painting, drawing, video, photography, and performance – all artists share a regenerative approach towards remnants from the past. How does a young generation of artists process their weighty cultural heritage, shaped by aesthetic and social “standards”, values, role models, icons, or expectations of the artist figure? How do they build upon ruins of the past which still cast long shadows?
