Boy’s Life
June 11 – July 2, 2009 Opening Reception June 11th, 6-9pm

“Boy’s Life,” a group exhibition concerning the ephemeral, transitional point in a boy’s development when he begins to deal with the realization that he is separate and male, destined for attributes of strength, aggression, courage and virility. Works included by: Peter Bahouth, Steve Bliss, Shannon Clark, Corey Daniels, Emily Gomez, Ryan Pfluger. Exhibition formats range from 8” x 10” view camera silver gelatin prints to View Master stereopticons of editorialized 1950’s family images of American boys to cyanotypes of late 19th century – early 20th century males and tableaux of key transitional moments.
I came across the photographer/artist Stephen Berkman. I think his work is fantastic... particularly the installation pieces but the ambrotypes are great too. I typically shy away from a lot of alternative process work as it tends to ride on the gimmick of the process way too much. Berkman's work definitely does not.
