designed to foster the creation and presentation of work by notable
emerging artists who explore innovative, and often challenging,
visions through photography and related visual media.

offbeat subject matter of piles of yard waste in suburban California
towns, with an emphasis on the regions surrounding her hometown, San Jose.

Greg Halpern’s new work series explores the cities of Omaha and Buffalo
and reveals the sexual and cultural tensions of these two industrial
regions with the Midwestern winter environment playing
important roles in the images.

SF Camerawork’s New Works Program is supported by a
grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts.

Opening Reception: Thursday 7 June @ 5 pm

WANG Ningde:
Some Days

Wang Ningde is one of the most critically-acclaimed and important contemporary photographers working in China today. This is his first exhibition in California and is the first in a series of concentrated artist projects featuring photographers who live and work in China being presented at SF Camerawork over the next two years. He belongs to a generation of young photographers whose work addresses the rapid changes taking place in 21st Century China. Although a photojournalist by trade, Wang maintains a
strong belief that photography is a tool for self-expression and makes non-documentary, conceptual photography. His work invites the viewer into a world where subtle narrative drama expressively connects
memory with the reality of the present moment.

SF Camerawork’s new Chinese Artists Series is supported by grants from the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts and the Columbia Foundation.

Curated by Terri Whitlock, curatorial associate in the Department of Photography at SFMOMA, The Spitting Image honors the anniversary of the feminist art movement and features the work of four young women artists who, each in their own way, investigate the gestures, costumes, and settings embedded in the representation of female identity.

Bay Area photographer Morgan Konn, provokes the notion of identity envy
in a body of work called Her House, Her Clothes in which Konn gains access
to women’s houses and photographs herself inhabiting their domestic space
and dressing in their clothes. For her series Double Life, Midwest-based photographer Kelli Connell employs digital techniques to construct
seemingly authentic pictures of a relationship between two women,
but which, in fact, use the same woman subject in each role.
Collaborative artists Tarrah Krajnak and Wilka Roig look closely
at the relationship of photography to identity; to the ways in which
identity is not simply performed, but performed for the camera.

The Spitting Image is supported by a grant
from the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation.
