This is yet another object of desire. As you can see by now, the stuff that
I like are generally sleek and simple with very clean lines. I nearly bought
this watch, when I was out shopping for one a few years ago. But in the end,
I bought somehting else of better value and which I would kick myself for
not buying. Still, this one is nice enough to go into my OOD folder.
001-006,008-012,016,017,032,033, multiple shots of five men dressed in white dress shirts and ties sit at a semi-circular wooden desk type object, in a possible administration environment. They each have folders and binders with stacks of papers strewn about the table area, with name plaques and built in microphones to speak into. The setting is constructed out of materials made out of wood, concrete and plaster. Oval shaped blinders cover windows behind them, and on the wall in the middle of the shot is a flag with the title SAN MARCOS written on it, flanked by the American flag and a flag representing the state of California. Up above are two NO SMOKING signs and a square television hanging from a ceiling beam. To the right and on the floor is some type of mechanical device, possibly a projector. 007,013-15,019-028, multiple shots of an older woman with short lightly colored wavy hair and earrings and wearing a dark shirt, sometimes speaking in front of a banner with a design on the front, possibly a flag. 018,029-031, shots of the side of five men dressed in dress shirts and suits and ties, sitting at a semi-circular wooden desk type object in a potential administration area.

I am in an exhibition at Cal Poly’s University Art Gallery "Beyond the Surface: The Photograph as Object", an exhibition curated by Aline Smithson from January 9 - January 31, 2020.

As the practice of photography moves farther away from the tactile process of winding film through a camera and long meditative hours spent in the wet darkroom, the contemporary digital photographer is now experiencing an entirely different relationship to the image. With the proliferation of digital capture, with Photoshop replacing the darkroom, and instantaneous digital printing at the push of a button, photographs are now equally a product of the mind and technology, with the ability for limitless reproduction.
In response to this loss of the evidence of the artist’s hand, a number of artists are reconsidering the potential of an image with a move towards making rather than taking photographs. By using vintage and contemporary photographs as a starting point, artists are creating physically layered works of art that result in a handmade one-of-a-kind object, expanding the notion of what we consider photographic art. The exhibition Beyond the Surface features a variety of interventions and investigations that include collage, sewing, cutting, weaving and embroidery, all interrogating the material qualities of the physical photograph as an attempt to recover the magic of the photograph-as-object. As artist Maria Font describes, “My hands intervene with each work manually, and through this intimate, performatic ritual, the embodiment of the photograph becomes the common ground where the familiar and the foreign meet, as an individual attempt to blur the lines between the internal and external spaces of the body. The construction of these mental maps evokes diverse psychological states and emotions with meanings that are in constant flux, never fixed, just like our identities.”
Artists in the exhibition work in two ways, using imagery that they have created in camera or by using found or familial vernacular photos. The image is then punctured, deconstructed, or cut apart and reborn as a work of art, separate from the original image. Many of the artists explore themes of growing up, family, and memory; others use contemporary imagery to consider self or culture. Artist Liz Steketee states, “I use my life and family as material for my work. By doing this, I am able to explore the complexity that exists in the everyday and the richness found in the mundane. Through the use of montage, collage, and purposeful juxtaposition of photographs, it is my intention to examine the “truth” in life.” Artist Joe Rudko cuts and reorganizes found photographs to “break the illusion of the pristine image and suggest a variety of interpretations it can have. Working with analog methods in a digital era places these snapshots in dialogue with the present moment.”
Revisiting photographs with an Exacto knife or sewing needle provides a new way of examining, organizing, and interacting with more than just the image on the page. This reconsideration opens the door to limitless possibilities of creation, inspiring us to look more deeply at the potential of photographic imagination.
