Virginia Flynn
The Butcher, The Baker, The Candlestick Maker
In this new body of work, Flynn re-interprets the ornate vintage signs that hang over the doorways of merchant houses throughout France. The original cut metal signs created a picture: here a fish shop, here a leather tanning shop, here a tailor. Flynn’s distinctive paper cuts re-create this antique commercial culture. Her delightful paper cutting techniques re-interpret their modern message about “what lies inside.” This is Flynn’s second solo show here at 23 Sandy Gallery.

Karen Hanmer
Déjà Vu: History, Memory, Place
Chicago binder, book and installation artist Karen Hanmer’s intimate, playful book works fragment and layer text and image to intertwine memory, cultural history, and the history of science. Hanmer skillfully pairs imagery and text with structure to create moods and invite the reader/viewer to become part of the story as they interact with the work physically and emotionally. Karen Hanmer exhibits widely, and her work is included in collections ranging from Tate Britain and the Library of Congress to UCLA and Graceland. She is Exhibitions Chair for the Guild of Book Workers.

The Naked Book
Expose Yourself to Journaling
The Naked Book was curated by Linda Kiley to honor the technical beauty of book construction with an exhibition of blank, handmade books suitable for use as journals, sketchbooks or other creative gestures. 35 artists from the US, Canada, and even Italy, will show their books in all their naked glory. All books will be available to take home immediately so you can get started adding your own special touches or thoughts to the pages. These books also stand on their own as wonderful pieces of art and craftsmanship.
Several Portland area artists included in the show are: Jane De Haan, Emily Garcia, Malini Gupta, Becky Luening, Leslie Waygren, Patricia Cheyne, Patricia Edmonds, Jim Hockenhull, and Peg Weber.

Susan Burnstine
Within Shadows
March 5-28
Opening Reception: Friday, March 5, 6-9 pm
Artist’s Lecture: Saturday, March 6, 12 pm
Newspace Center for Photography is pleased to announce an exhibition of photographs by Susan Burnstine. The exhibition opening and artist’s lecture are both free and open to the public. Susan Burnstine’s ongoing body of work “Within Shadows” explores the fleeting moments between dreaming and waking – the blurred seconds in which imagination and reality collide.
The dreamlike black and white images are created entirely in-camera, rather than with post-processing manipulations. To achieve her unique look, she created twenty-one hand-made film cameras and lenses that are frequently unpredictable and technically challenging. The cameras are primarily made out of plastic, vintage camera parts, and random household objects and the single element lenses are molded out of plastic and rubber. Learning to overcome their extensive limitations has required her to rely on instinct and intuition – the same tools that are key when attempting to interpret dreams.
Susan Burnstine is an award winning fine art and commercial photographer originally from Chicago now based in Los Angeles. Susan is represented in galleries across the country and widely published throughout the world. She has also written for several photography magazines, including a monthly column for Black & White Photography (UK).
Susan was Nominated for the 2009 Santa Fe Prize for Photography and won B&W Magazine’s 2008 Portfolio Spotlight Award.

New Directions 200: Down + Out
February 4-27, 2010
Artists Reception: First Friday, February 5, 5–8 p.m.
23 Sandy Gallery is pleased to host a traveling exhibition organized by wall space gallery (sic) in Seattle and juried by Carol McCusker, Curator of Photography at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, California. New Directions 2010, Down + Out seeks to challenge our notions of our visual landscape. Curated from over 1,000 submitted images, and a pool of 200 talented artists, the field has been narrowed to a select group of images to showcase imaginative vertical and horizontal perspectives.
The idea behind Down + Out brings to mind a quote from art historian, Albert Boime, who described a “magisterial gaze” that gave early Americans, through painting and printmaking, a view at one with God, hence, manifest destiny. The idea of distance, of visual space, may simply be the romance of the road, or curiosity about what lies just out of sight—an American impulse from early pioneers to Jack Kerouac.
Down + Out features 42 photographers including four from Portland: Chris Bennett, Heidi Bertman, Jeffrey Krolick and Duc Ly. The show will also feature a strong international contingent, including artists from Mexico, England, Israel and Argentina.
