Follow on Google News |  In Motion Show Opening Saturday January 23By: BAPC A group exhibition of Bay Area Photographers Collective artists, curated by Hal Fischer, presented by Harvey Milk Photo Center The ability to perceive motion is fundamental to our human capacity to interpret, adapt to, and shape our environment. The camera, designed to capture a single moment in time, would appear poorly suited to the recording of movement, whether subtle or dramatic, fast or slow. Yet some of the most iconic photography in history does just that: it captures objects and people in motion, and does so in ways that stir the mind and heart. In this exhibition, we present photographs in which motion is a central theme. Some blur while others stop the action cold. In some images, the viewer is moving while the subject remains still. Ironically, the very lack of motion where we expect it, or the very slight hint of motion where the scene is otherwise still, provides a motive force in the image. - Hal Fischer Exhibition Dates: January 23, 2016 - March 3, 2016 Opening Reception: Saturday, January 23, 2016 • 1- 4 Curator’s Talk: 2:00 - 2:30 Gallery Hours: Tues-Weds 4-8 • Thurs 1-9 • Sat-Sun 12-5 Location: Harvey Milk Photography Center 50 Scott Street, San Francisco CA 94117 For more info: harveymilkphotocenter.org (http://www.harveymilkphotocenter.org) Exhibiting Artists Anthony Delgado Linda Fitch Steve Goldband & Ellen Konar Ralf Hillebrand Thomas Lavin Alan Ostreicher Ari Salomon Mitsu Yoshikawa About the Curator: Hal Fischer Over a career spanning nearly four decades, Hal Fischer has been a working artist, art critic, and museum professional. His seminal photo-language work, Gay Semiotics, was first exhibited in 1977 in San Francisco and published as a monograph by NFS Press the following year. Today Gay Semiotics is regarded as one of the most significant works associated with 1970s California conceptual photography. Gay Semiotics was re-issued this year as a limited edition portfolio and a second edition of the book was released in September. Fischer’s work has been widely exhibited and is featured in both public and private collections. In the 1970s, Fischer’s reviews and articles on photography appeared in such journals as Artweek, Artforum, and Afterimage. The recipient of NEA fellowships in both photography and criticism, in 1977, Fischer, along with Craig Morey, gained nonprofit status for San Francisco Camerawork and assembled that organization’ Harvey Milk Photo Center Dave Christensen, Director Celebrating 75 years, the Harvey Milk Photo Center is the oldest and largest community darkroom west of the Mississippi, and is part of the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department.
