- W83310979 abstract "San Francisco's photography scene continues to be notable for its dedication to experimentation, as well as perpetuation of straight photography among local artists and institutions. Sandra Phillips, curator at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, said that most interesting characteristics of region are its reputation as a craft center and its long history as a center for conceptual art, both of which inform vision and work of area's photographers. The Bay Area has a long relationship with photography, and area's numerous museums, schools and publications all fuel development and preservation of medium. The rapid evolution and immense popularity of digital imagery has infiltrated and profoundly affected Bay Area photography scene. Although digital imagery is, as Artweek editor Meredith Tromble describes it, the hot thing to watch, directors, curators, and editors with whom I spoke about this process agreed that digital photography is in its infancy. The hesitancy among these art professionals to embrace digital work has much to do with their feeling that it is merely one more means to an end, an extension of celebrated experimental stance of Bay Area art, which is often in defiance of mainstream artworld boundaries. Marnie Gillett, Director of San Francisco Camerawork, offered another reason to take a cautious approach to new media: until very recently Iris prints have not been archivally stable. Among local curators and directors a great sense of urgency is attached to collecting photographs. Gillett believes that while collectors in contemporary marketplace will accumulate digital work as printing process becomes more durable, traditional black and white and color prints will continue to be revered. Phillips underscored feeling of exigency around collecting vintage prints, stating that photography curators must act quickly because work in traditional media will become unavailable. She believes that only in this way will institutions like hers be able to provide an adequate overview of entire history of photography. Related to this sensibility is a strong interest among Bay Area photography institutions in expanding and rewriting history, or what Deborah Klochko, who recently became Director of Friends of Photography, succeeding Andy Grundberg, calls revisiting archive. From a nonprofit gallery perspective, this focus helps to create effective educational components for exhibitions, one of Klochko's primary goals (she was formerly Education Director at Friends), as well as connections between past photographic work and current technical and conceptual interests. For example, she is working on a project called Outside History: Vernacular and Folk Traditions in American Photography for next year, while Phillips has just curated Police Pictures: The Photographic Evidence, which addresses physiognomy, use of photography to uncover criminal identity, and beginnings of anthropology. Rupert Jenkins, past Associate Director of San Francisco Camerawork and present Director of San Francisco Art Commission Gallery, thinks that this reexamination of photographic archive is affiliated with prevailing journalistic thrust of photography culture, as well as breadth of contemporary art that incorporates found photographs. This latter practice, common among younger artists and local art students, emanates from a San Francisco tradition - rooted in Beat sensibilities - of working with photographs in installation and mixed media contexts tempered by predominant '90s focus on identity politics. Jean E. Weiffenbach, Director at Walter McBean Gallery of San Francisco Art Institute, concurs with Jenkins that photography has played a central role in vast exploration of difference and critical debates about cultural identity. Interconnected with strong attraction to mixed-media work and cultural identity investigations among local artists has been a profound interest in alliance between art, science and technology, especially in relation to human body. …" @default.
