One-Of-A-Kind

Obscura Gallery announces our exciting 2019 Holiday Season exhibition, One-of-a-Kind, a group show of photo-based artworks found exclusively at our gallery. The exhibition consists of nearly 30 artists from the U.S., France, Cuba and Israel including those represented with Obscura as well as guest artists who were invited to participate. Each artist was asked to create a unique photo-based artwork, or create a new print edition, of which either would be exclusively available and on exhibition only at Obscura Gallery. The exhibition opens on November 22, from 5-7pm with a selection of the exhibiting artists present, and is on view through January 4, 2020. Philip Augustin (Santa Fe, NM), Michael Berman (Silver City, NM), Angie Brockey (Tulsa, OK), Susan Burnstine (LA, CA), Debbie Caffery (Lafayette, LA), Brigitte Carnochan (Palo Alto, CA), Edward Sheriff Curtis (b.1868 – d.1952), Scott b. davis (San Diego, CA), Cy DeCosse (Minneapolis, MN), Susan de Witt (Portland, OR), Lawrence Fodor (Santa Fe, NM), Neil Folberg (Jerusalem, Israel), Coco Fronsac (Paris, France), Jorge Gaviando (Havana, Cuba), Kate Joyce (Santa Fe, NM), Louviere + Vanessa (New Orleans, LA), Kurt Markus (Santa Fe, NM), Norman Mauskopf (Santa Fe, NM), Blue Mitchell (Portland, OR), Joan Myers (Santa Fe, NM), Paula Riff (Los Angeles, CA), Ian Ruhter (Lake Tahoe, CA), Aline Smithson (LA, CA), Caitlyn Soldan (Santa Fe, NM), Robert Stivers (Santa Fe, NM), Michael Stone (Portland, OR), Keith Taylor (Minneapolis, MN), Claire A. Warden (Phoenix, AZ), Ryan Zoghlin (Chicago, IL), There are many ways to create unique pieces in the photographic process. Many of the processes that were used in the 19th and 20th Century yield one-of-a-kind prints by either mere virtue of their process, or by adding another element to them in their creation. For the exhibition invitation, some artists chose to make an edition of a specific image and size that was only available through Obscura Gallery. For example, Minneapolis based Keith Taylor printed an edition of 10 photogravure prints that are exclusively found at Obscura. Also along the same concept are Santa Fe locals Kurt Markus and Lawrence Fodor as well as Los Angeles based artist Susan Burnstine and Louisiana's Debbie Fleming Caffery. Three dimensional photo-based objects are also included in the exhibition such as Michael Stone's vintage boxed piece "Pacing" from 1968. The sculptural object was created by layering several sheets of Kodalith film making the piece appear almost holographic.
