Vergara's photographs of inner city churches, their members, and their leaders, as well as the art and objects found in them, are indispensible to understanding religion in America today. |

James Osher - Three Seconds with the Masters | |
| DATE: | 10/24/2009 - 12/5/2009 |
| WHEN: | 9:30 AM - 5:00 PM |
| WHERE: | Addison/Ripley Fine Art 1670 Wisconsin Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20007 T: 202.338.5180 Hours: |
| DESCRIPTION: | This show examines subject matter that is derived from historical paintings in several museums, including, most recently, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. As the artist states, "My work explores the transitory aesthetics of contemporary art viewing." By basing the work, many of them pairings of large format digital photographs, on the paintings of Master and Old Masters, the artist is able to examine accepted and culturally assumed "value" as it pertains to "priceless" objects. Pictures of these objects taken literally on the fly allow viewers of Osher's work to see the objects in entirely new ways and to form new conceptual relationships with often familiar works of art. Static objects achieve dynamic newness. |

| WHERE: | Smith Farm Center for Healing and the Arts; The Healing Arts Gallery The Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery 1632 U Street, NW Washington, DC 20009 T: 202.483.8600 |
| DESCRIPTION: | Dulce Pinzón was born in Mexico City in 1974. She studied Mass Media
Communications at the Universidad de Las Americas in Puebla Mexico and
Photography at Indiana University in Pennsylvania. In 1995 she moved to
New York where she studied at The International Center of Photography.
As a young Mexican artist living in the US, Dulce soon found new
inspiration for her photography in feelings of nostalgia, questions of
identity, and political and cultural frustrations. In her black and
white series "Viviendo en el Gabacho" (a Mexican colloquialism for
living in the US) she illustrates the dualistic phenomenon of the
integration of the Mexican immigrant into the New York landscape. "The
Real Story of the superheroes" comes full circle to reintroduce the
Mexican immigrant in New York in a satirical documentary style
featuring ordinary men and women in their work environment donning
superhero garb, thus raising questions of both our definition of
heroism and our ignorance of and indifference to the workforce that
fuels our ever-consuming economy. Her work has been published and
collected internationally. In 2001 her photos were used for the cover
of a publication of Howard Zinn's book "A People's History of the
United States". In 2002 Dulce won the prestigious Jovenes Creadores
grant in Mexico for her work. Dulce was a 2006 fellow in Photography
from the New York Foundation for the Arts. In 2006 she was awarded an
Honorific Mention in the Santa Fe project competition and she won the
12th edition of the Mexican Biennial of El Centro de La Imagen. http://www.dulcepinzon.com/superheroes.htm.

They look beyond pictorial documentation to capture images animated by light, form, and pattern that resonate with references to a human presence that is felt if not seen. Space is not only described but mysteriously enlivened, evoking emotional rather than rational responses, and becoming meditations on space itself. They look beyond mere observation to explore how our presence and built environments intersect and impact the natural world. These images ask us to take a second look, whether at the familiar or the sublime, and to discover the unexpected and the sometimes incongruous in how we live now. The works resonate with references to a human presence that is felt if not seen. Space is not only described but mysteriously enlivened, evoking emotional rather than rational responses to become meditations on place. |

| DESCRIPTION: | Some of the earliest photographic processes produced positive images on plates of polished silver-clad copper, glass, and tin. Each image was unique-- the film negative was many decades away when daguerrotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes were all the rage. In this gallery talk/demonstration artist Phil Nesmith gives an overview of this rich period in photographic history, as well as a discussion on the modern resurgence of interest in and use of 19th century processes in contemporary art. While tintypes and other early photographic processes were thought by many to have died nearly a century ago, these media have had a renaissance in recent decades, including some of America's most famous contemporary artists, from Chuck Close to Virginia photographer Sally Mann. In addition to a lecture on historic processes and their modern applications, Nesmith will demonstrate the process of making wet collodion tintypes, a magical process that sheds light both on the history of photography and on contemporary art.
