a photographer photographing

From Japan this morning came a photograph that threw me back in time. Five years and as many months Satoru Yoshioka came to visit me a few times at the Headlands Center for the Arts in Marin. This is a photograph he took of me while I was photographing the lagoon and marsh just east of Rodeo beach. Just close your eyes and imagine the sound of coyotes howling in the mist.

Dr. Frangst in Pokeberry Anthotype

Maybe this is the start of several anthotypes that will show up in the March "the Naturalists" exhibition.

mathematics in intense pink and I have no idea what is this

studio update.

Mathematics in intense pink. Today I will be making the first layer of a two color gum bichromate using Intense Pink. At somepoint Kate Bush's Lionheart will be playing. The image is a found object (seen on left side of the picture) picked up walking through South Park on the way to school. I have no idea what this is. If you know, please email me at frangst@gmail.com.

Last Chance for "from walking"

push past your prejudice. from walking is not pedestrian or maybe it is but not in that way. You have only a few more days to see my response to the exhibition space in Sinclair College's Building 13, namely the Works on Paper Gallery.

I de-install on Friday, November 19th.

forgotten but not lost

Have you ever had one of those moments where you looked at a snapshot and couldn't remember the ins and outs of the picture. I completely forgot about OOVAR. Two weeks ago in some mad dash I carefully framed two pieces, dropped them off in Columbus and then forgot about them. It's not senility but rather two birthdays that just happened for Bridgette and myself.

The Ohio Online Visual Artist Registry juried exhibition is underway. From November 8th until January 3rd you can look at work representing a small sampling of the type of art made by Ohioans that display their work online...but in a real space.  The Sixth Annual OOVAR exhibition is on display at the Main Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. Go to the second floor and in the Arts and Humanities section you should easily locate the exhibition.

Tribeca Gallery Preview

Maybe this will bring some additional traffic to the Alternative Processes Exhibition...

 

Soho Photo Gallery will be taking part in the Tribeca Gallery Preview event on Saturday, November 13th. Soho Photo is currently showing the Sixth Annual Alternative Processes Competition, juried by France Scully Osterman and Mark Osterman, in the gallery upstairs along with Dan Burkholder's "The Next Phase: iPhone Photographs". Both exhibitions will run from Nov. 2nd until December 4th. I have two Vandyke Brown Prints in this showing of Altenative Processes: "Sting Ray / Kite" (Honorable Mention) and "Two Leaf Stems".

Other galleries taking part in the Tribeca Gallery Preview are Trans.LUXE Gallery, carriage trade, Cheryl Hazan Gallery, KS Art, Pelavin Gallery, Ethan Cohen Fine Arts, Hal Bromm, and the MELA Foundation (Dream House).

Website

I have a new website but first ...

the old website, www.frangst.com, is temporarily disabled but eventually will point to my new site.

Please change your bookmarks to:

www.francisschanberger.com

It has most of the Forces of Nature and some of the new from walking. Most of the latter may be seen  here. Currently it doesn't have any artwork (Mis-Taken, Dr. Frangst and Sibling Rivalries), on it from before 2008 but I hope to have everything from 1997 to the present up on the website by the end of the week.
