San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art Artists Gallery
A special five-week exhibition is on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Artists Gallery beginning February 6. Quiet Spaces explores the presence of silence in the work of 13 photographers.
The small industrial fabrication plants of Silicon Valley are the focus of Diane Kreiter’s work. In stark contrast to the area’s prevalent high-tech industry, these spaces exude a rustic charm in their corrugated walls and well-worn machinery. Frederick Hodder’s images of the land between the Yampa and Elk River in Colorado look like scenes from another era, while Ethel Jimenez explores a site closer to home: Alcatraz Island. She compares the decrepit buildings to the ruins of Pompeii in their sense of history and legend.
Charles Reilly photographs interiors of great quiet and moodiness, and likens his images to spiritual poems that engage the viewer in their loneliness. Michelle Nye also is drawn to abandoned buildings. Her work combines images and writings in a uniquely personal expression.
The works of these and other artists are on view at the gallery February 6 to March 14.
