Moab Art Works News

We visited San Francisco June 10-13. Highlights of the visit were

Fraenkel Gallery - christian marclay 'stereo'
This show includes works spanning Marclay's career from the 1980's until the present. Musical instruments and musical devices such as records and tapes are portrayed in various stereo arrangements. My favorite was MASHUP (DIPTYCH WITH TWO CASSETTES) a cyanotype printed on two whole sheets of paper and framed together, forming two halves of a photogram of two tape cassettes (luckily it was already sold...)

Gallery 291 - Jim Marshall 'Marshall in Platinum'
A large show, featuring Jim's photographs of rock and jazz musicians, often caught in candid moments. Especially intriguing - and in contrast to the portraits of the familiar and famous in the rest of the show - is a series of portraits of the public taken in NYC streets after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Most of the pictures on display are printed by the platinum process, but there are also some color works.

SF Camerawork - Chris McCaw - 'Sunburn'
More burnt offerings from Chris McCaw - what can I say except: you saw it at Moab Art Works a year ago, and the work just keeps on getting better (and bigger)!

RayKo Photo Center - 'Landscape, other - Views outside convention' More Chris McCaw (and yes, some other good photographers too) Enjoyed the opening party, but the show lacked unity, and the theme of the show seemed to come through weakly in the works, which were intended to illustrate alternative views of landscape photography in contrast to those espoused by Ansel Adams and the f64 group (representing convention, I guess) While I share enthusiasm for this concept, I don't think the show gelled, although individual works were strong. But I loved RayKo's combination of darkrooms for traditional photographers, a gallery, and a teaching facility all in one place. The photomat was fun too!

We also visited SF MOMA Artists Gallery at Fort Mason to check out the work of Michael Ashcraft (a painter based in Castle Valley, UT)
