Good Citizen Gallery: Friday, 18 November 2011

Matthew Harting - La Belle's Baron Steed

Good Citizen invites you to Pinholio, an exhibition of contemporary pinhole photography.

November 18 - December 17
Opening Reception Friday, November 18, 6-10 PM

Pinholio, curated by Alison Ouellette-Kirby and Mark A. Fisher, celebrates the art of pinhole photography. The exhibition will feature a juried selection of local and national artists as well as selections from renowned photographers Pinky Bass, Nancy Spencer, and Eric Renner. The pinhole camera is a device made often from ordinary materials (boxes, cams, and oatmeal canisters) which uses a small aperture to focus light. Operating without a lens, the aperture is quite often the size of a pinhead, thus the term "Pinhole". Typically pinhole cameras require long exposures that allow them to capture movement and distortion. Pinhole enthusiasts have traditionally used black and white photo paper or negatives to create their images, however several artists have adapted the digital medium towards similar effects.
