Bernie Lubell: Conservation of Intimacy

Description

Opening Reception: Fri, July 16, 6-8 PM

Opening in July 2010 at running through September 19 at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), are four exhilarating exhibitions that expose, capture and celebrate the art of collaboration, participation, experimentation, and manipulation of old and new technologies and mediums in art, construction and photography.

Bernie Lubell: Conservation of Intimacy opening on July 3 in the Main Gallery, is an immersive sculptural installation presented in partnership with the O1SJ Biennial Art and Technology Festival (September 16 – 19). Exposed: Yesterday’s Photography/Yesterday’s Technology opens on July 17 in the Focus Gallery. Inspired by the rich history and alchemic experimentation of obsolete photographic practices, the artists in this exhibition create images using antiquated photographic methods, creating works that range from daguerreotypes to tintypes, gum prints to cyanotypes. Captured: Photography’s Early Adopters also opening on July 17 in the Cardinale Project Room is an exhibition of vintage prints from the collection of San Francisco gallerist Stephen Wirtz. Also opening in July in the ICA’s Lounge, Liz Steketee: Reconstructed Memories – a unique print series that uses the artist’s personal family photographs to rewrite history from her vantage point. An Opening Reception celebrating the works and artists in these exhibitions will be held on Friday, July 16, from 6-8pm at the ICA.
