Show Me the Picture: The Story of Jim Marshall | Film screening/discussion Tuesday, October 19, 6pm
Show Me The Picture chronicles the photographer’s life behind and outside the camera. A child of immigrants living a life battling inner demons, Marshall became one of the most trusted mavericks behind a lens throughout the 1960s. His passion for the scene resulted in some of the most iconic images in music history from Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones to Johnny Cash, Janis Joplin and Miles Davis. Throughout his groundbreaking career Marshall crossed boundaries to document many of the extraordinary social movements of the time. Register [free]

Bill Owens: Documenting the Suburban Landscape | A conversation with Paul Moakley, 7pm

The Alice Austen House will host a conversation with Paul Moakley (editor and curator) and Bill Owens (photographer) about documenting the suburban landscape. While working at a local newspaper in Livermore, CA, Owens became known as the foremost chronicler of Suburbia, made famous with the publication of his book by that name in 1972. He is a featured artist in Photographer in the Garden, the current contemporary exhibition.

Since the invention of the medium, photographers have been drawn by the allure of flowers. This group exhibition is excerpted from the book The Photographer in the Garden, co-published by Aperture and the George Eastman Museum, celebrating the rich history of artists working in the garden as a site of inspiration and reinvention. Info

Moments in Time / Robert Braczyk & Carol Massa; Departures: Karin Bruckner; On the Wall: Mary Rieser Heintjes | Opening reception: Thursday, October 14, 3-7 pm
As an environmentalist Robert Braczyk calls attention to climate change through carved, dynamic sculptures that are inspired by the origin of the material they are created from, the tree. The branches that are used in the pieces provide a variety of long gently tapering rods, sweeping curves, jogs and forked joints. Braczyk states, “The material itself is a subject.”

Karin Bruckner presents a range of works from printmaking composite pieces to assemblage wall sculptures created before and during the Pandemic lockdown. She writes, “The outward strictures of confinement lead to hitherto unknown worlds of inner artistic avenues, facilitating a capacity to maximize material and color and revealing silver linings. Arrivals depend on Departures and the journey taken, wherever it may lead us.” Above: Karin Bruckner, Coming Out the Other Side, 2021

Since the early 1980’s Carol Massa has explored the use of dots as a metaphysical representation of their energy. Massa explains, “I began feeling every dot as a heartbeat…”. This new series was inspired by a trip to Mexico the artist took last year. Influenced by the onset of the Pandemic, the paintings suggest a balance between joy and sorrow, darkness and light.
Reacting to the environment has always encompassed all aspects of Mary Rieser Heintjes’ work. Grasping onto sites in nature that an inner desire to weld, paint, fuse glass, draw, and photograph fuels her artistic process, in this case, the demolition site where she rescued praying mantis eggs, then raised to maturity in her studio.
