Today, the photograph has become probably one of the most ubiquitous items in the world. Unfortunately, it is exactly that pervasiveness that may lead to the end of the photographic art form as we know it today.
With the advent of the digital camera, its reasonable cost, and its amazing ability to almost all of the work for the photographer, it seems that, once again, fewer and fewer people appreciate the artistry and skill involved in taking a beautiful or compelling photograph.
With the advent of the digital camera, its reasonable cost, and its amazing ability to almost all of the work for the photographer, it seems that, once again, fewer and fewer people appreciate the artistry and skill involved in taking a beautiful or compelling photograph.
So what does that means for the future of the photograph? That remains to be seen. Perhaps, like the societies that are documented, the future of the photograph is to constantly morph; to find more mediums on which to present itself until those, too, become mainstream and the medium is forced to evolve again.
This show strikes out on that trail and examines what happens when the photograph is presented in a different format - when it is combined with one of the staples of the fine art world-the canvas.

Roberto Bocci: Streams, Consciousness and Spaces in Between
Emerson Gallery
In this multimedia installation combining photography, video and sound,Arlington,Virginia based artist Roberto Bocci brings together a finely tuned combination of elements meant to engulf, engage and involve the viewer in a holistic, multi-sensory experience. Working with the universal concepts of time, space and motion, Bocci draws imagery from the familiar world, which he brings into the gallery to create a unique space that questions and examines our responses and experiences with the technological world. Fragmentation, simultaneity, instability and flux all find their place and expression in this stimulating and thought provoking installation.
Imaginary Botanicals by Elizabeth Whitely
Atrium Gallery
Washington, D.C. artist Elizabeth Whiteley, who works in both two- and three-dimensions, will exhibit this series of drawings that are inspired by her abstract sculpture. Working primarily with silver and gold wire as a drawing material, a technique common to the Renaissance masters,Whiteley has created delicate and finely ren- dered images. These works are both geometric and symmetrical in nature, and also organic and naturalistic, as they refer to possible plant forms derived from the artist’s imagination.

Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro: Are We There Yet?
December 3, 2011–March 11, 2012
For their first exhibition in the United States, Australian artists Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro explore the aspiration of space travel with the necessity of food consumption. Working with statistics related to food, beverages, and household goods, the artistic duo propose to physically illustrate what an astronaut—consuming only the goods of the “everyman”—would require on a journey to Mars. At the conclusion of the exhibition, the contents of the display will be given away, creating an event to highlight existing cycles of production, consumption, and distribution.
Healy and Cordeiro use everyday objects as their primary materials for making sculptures and installations. Often incorporating locally sourced, prefabricated structures—such as abandoned trailers, domestic furniture, and household goods—Healy and Cordeiro’s art explores ideas related to home, history, permanency, destruction, and revitalization. As co-creators of a single body of work, their collaborations survey a space where individual points of view intersect, presenting familiar objects in unexpected contexts, and challenging patterns of behavior and interpretation.

Are We There Yet? exemplifies the ways that science and art can complement each other. In this lecture, physicist/artist Bulent Atalay compares and contrasts Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton, underscoring the ways these two geniuses forever altered how we view the world. Atalay is the author of Math and the Mona Lisa (Smithsonian Books, 2004), which Jamie Wyeth hailed as “a masterful examination of the differences and similarities in the sciences and the arts,” and Leonardo's Universe (National Geographic Books, 2009).

My artwork explores the realms and depths of my dreams, beliefs, spirituality and my daily life journey. These paintings represent personal archetypes communicated through historical, architectural and mythological symbolism. My goal is for a story to unfold through layered abstractions. I consider myself an abstract expressionist artist. Color is the most relevant element for me, inspired by Rothko, but also by Gottlieb. Form and geometric shapes are essential, inspired by Kandinsky. Architectural imagery helps me create a visual story honoring what is often perceived as ordinary in our day-to-day lives. The art I create is not meant to be literally narrative. It is left open to individual's interpretation and, hopefully, self-discover what is hidden or, conversely, only partially revealed. In art as in life, is not so much what is said, but what is not. I consider my work visual conversations about life, the meaning of spirit, God and faith. Jorge Bernal's website

ANTREASIAN GALLERY PRESENTS: SHORT STORIES by Susan La Mont
Susan La Mont: SHORT STORIES
November 30 – December 18, 2011
November 30 – December 18, 2011
Reception: Friday, December 2 from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.
Aptly named, the show features people in both ordinary and unusual situations. The viewer is invited to speculate about the intent; in fact, La Mont encourages it as a kind of interactivity, noting that we are “hard wired” to try to make sense out of the situations we encounter. In the past she has been delighted to overhear viewers spin incredible tales about the goings-on in the paintings, some of them completely counter to her original meaning.The show features both small and large works painted in heightened, but not quite photographic realism. La Mont was selected by area art critic F. Lennox Campello as the Best New Realist of the 2009 Artomatic show.
Antreasian’s regular gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m., and on Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Additional information and images can be seen at www.antreasiangallery.com. Inquiries can be made at 410-235-4420 during business hours.
