Suggestions of a Life Being Lived at SF Camerawork

Suggestions of a Life Being Lived is a bold presentation of contemporary work that looks at queerness as a set of political alliances and possibilities. The exhibition features 16 artists working in photography, film, video, activism and education, and was organized for SF Camerawork by guest curators Danny Orendorff and Adrienne Skye Roberts. Untethered to institutions of sexual or gender normativity and in pursuit of greater freedoms, the work in this exhibition represents queer activism, intentional and imagined communities, self-determinism, and DIY alternative world-making.


Featuring work by: Steven Miller, Tara Mateik, Killer Banshee, Gay Shame, Kirstyn Russell, Jeannie Simms, Lenn Keller, Mercury Vapor Studios, Chris Vargas, Greg Youmans, Jason Fritz Michael, Aay Preson-Myint, Allyson Mitchell, Eric Stanley, Torsten Zenas Burns, and Darrin Martin.

I spent a couple of years deployed overseas with the US Army, and spent my free time with my camera. If you are interested in checking out some of the pictures I've taken, I'm happy to share them. They can be found on my Flickr page.

Celine Clanet at Blue Sky Gallery Opens jan7th

If you are in the Portland area, please join us for Céline's Clanet's opening tonight (Thursday, 7th) at Blue Sky Gallery (122 NW 8th Ave). Céline will also give a talk about her work on Saturday the 9th at 3pm, also at Blue Sky Gallery.

Céline's Clanet's series Máze is a look at the Sámi people, who historically are spread out from the extreme northwest of Scandinavia as far as the Kola peninsula in Russia, surviving for thousands of years in extreme climatic conditions. Their existence is often precarious, as they have lived through periods of colonization and the gradual erosion of their culture. The Máze series of photographs touches upon the environmental, political and economic aspects of the Sámi, but the pictures are also concerned with broader contemporary issues such as globalization and the preservation of individual identity.
