Press Release

Los Angeles circa 1970s will complement the solo atrium exhibition, Susan Ressler: Executive Order.  Both shows open on October 5th and continue through November 30th, with a reception on the 20th of October. 

 

Photographers included in Los Angeles, circa 1970s include: Bevan Davies, Philip Melnick, John Humble, Grant Mudford, Terry Wild, and Ave Pildas. 

 

Their photographs explore the physical and political geography of Los Angeles in a previous era, as well as a particular method of portraying their subject. One that challenged established conventions of art photography; choosing instead a cooler approach to the medium that concealed the photographers presence, allowing the subject to be seen in a transparent way.
