Lasting Light: 125 Years of Grand Canyon Photograph

Covering nearly 125 years of photographic history, the exhibition includes images of early photographers dangling from cables with their cumbersome equipment balanced on their shoulders to more modern images that are bold and dramatic, featuring the canyon's startling natural beauty.

The exhibit is sponsored locally by the Phoenix Public Library Foundation with media support from Arizona Highways Magazine.

This show is a review of a photographer's work, Aly Artusio-Glimpse, over her three years of study at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). The imagery, all prints of photographs and photographic projections, are from three categories - Characters, Stories, and Truths.
Choose a character from any written or told story who would it be? Some answers will be projected in the Cathedral Room as part of Characters - an on going series of portraits. Stories are events that have earned the newspage, and finally Truths are simply nouns. People, places, things, and ideas imaged in my eye.
Superb mixed media collaborations
by the talented duo utilizes kinetic sculpture,
painting and drawing to explore political, social
and pop-culture themes, with no holds barred!

Chad’s
work might seem minimalist at first, with its
large expanses of white space, and tight black
ink renderings. Get up close though, and quickly
change your mind. The dense--almost obsessive
compulsive--hatching and severe controlled pen
marks beg for prolonged inspection, maybe with
a magnifying glass.
Somewhere under those lines
exists a nervous soul looking for a safe place.
Is that person Chad Knapp; whose calm chatty
manner doesn’t seem at all unsure or weak.
Or is the panicked person you the viewer? Chad’s
characters will crawl into your mind and follow
you to bed. Is that where they’re hiding
for protection, under your bed? Or in your skull?

Yocum is a print maker, who wants nothing
less that to bring a smile and make his fans
laugh. Yocum creates simple but deftly executed
images in multiple colors. They practically
grin at the viewer. He claims a debt to animation
and Dr. Seuss. Interestingly, Yocum is also
influenced by the 1980’s punk rock sounds
of The Dead Milkmen and The Clash. How does
one translate those firebrands into happy pictures?
Very well, very well indeed.
Says the Trunk Space co-owner
Jason, “We’ve been following these
two artists for a long time, and are looking
forward to presenting them to the downtown collector’s
circle.”
