Maria Luisa Morando: Silver
dnj Gallery, Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Avenue, Suite J1, Santa Monica, CA 90404
Admission: Free
Exhibit: March 26, 2011-May 28, 2011
Opening reception: March 26, 2011, 4-6pm
Artist talk in association with MOPLA: April 16, 2011, 4-6pm.
Maria Luisa Morando continues her comments on the ocean and the landscape of the coast. Like memories, her images are both familiar and elusive. Morando’s intentionally overexposed images erase the distracting details in the landscape and provide a moment or time without limit. Her scenes offer a true sense of space. As the art critic Michael Buitrón writes, “Because of the lack of sharp detail, it becomes impossible to explore the images for their specificity, and instead they open up and play to any seaside memory the viewer cares to pour into them.”
Maria Luisa Morando is collected privately throughout England, France and Italy and recently sold two photographs at the Foundation For Woman Artists in London England. She has exhibited across the United States, with an emphasis in Southern California.

Out of the Dark Room: The David Kronn Collection
This exhibition is drawn from a collection of more than 450 photographs brought together by the Irish born American collector David Kronn. The collection ranges in content from 19th century Daguerreotypes to the 20th century photography of Edward Weston and August Sander and works from award-winning contemporary photographers, such as the husband and wife team of Nicolai Howalt and Trine Sondergaard, and the Japanese photographer Asako Narahashi. It is particularly strong in its representation of Harry Callahan, Kenneth Josephson, Irving Penn and Brett Weston.
Out of the Dark Room presents a selection of 165 works across all photographic media. It explores themes emerging through the collection like portraits of children, abstracted landscapes and portraits of artists, such as Irving Penn’s Frederick Kiesler and Willem de Kooning, New York, 1960. There are numerous iconic works, examples being Herb Ritts’s image of pop star Madonna from 1986; the portrait of Laurie Anderson by Robert Mapplethorpe from 1987; or Dr Harold Edgerton’s time-lapse photograph of a boy running from 1939. Dr Kronn is a paediatrician with a specialisation in medical genetics, a fact which underlies the many images of children in the collection – Diane Arbus’s Loser at a Diaper Derby, 1967, for instance; or Martine Franck’s images of children from Tory Island (1994-97), and Irina Davis’s poignant portraits of children in a Russian state orphanage (2006-2007).
The exhibition is curated by Seán Kissane, Head of Exhibitions, IMMA, and is accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue published by IMMA that includes texts by Susan Bright, Seán Kissane, David Kronn and Carol Squiers.
Congratulations Helen!

Buzz Spector Comments on Michael Eastman and Maria Luisa Morando Exhibitons
Buzz Spector -- “I just want to say how good a pairing you’ve made of Eastman’s Plexagraphs and Morando’s overexposures. Here you have two photographic projects in which images of distance that are also emotionally distancing are countered by phenomenal affects that draw viewers back in.”
Thanks Buzz!

It is a question of pride that brings most people out onto the street for public displays of their beliefs in an attempt to bring the spotlight on a problem or an inequity.

Opening Reception: Michael Eastman & Maria Luisa Morando
Please join dnj Gallery on Saturday, March 26, 2011 from 4-6pm for the opening reception of Michael Eastman's Plexagraphs and Maria Luisa Morando's Silver exhibitions.

dnj Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition of the newest work by the artist Michael Eastman, entitled “Plexagraphs.” In Gallery II, we present the artist Maria Luisa Morando with her current series, “Silver.”
Michael Eastman’s prior work featured photographs of richly colored American landscapes and captivating architectural settings. In this new series, he focuses on much smaller objects, windows and building design elements. As before, Eastman portrays a nostalgic elegance. But the artwork is as much about the presentation of the photograph, as the photograph itself. Eastman has developed a new process (patent pending), in which he prints two nearly identical shots on different pieces of Plexiglass. The result is a layered, sculptural photograph. As he states, “I have worked with all kind of mediums and surfaces and techniques that seemed to mostly artify the surface of the image but left the image still only representational. After years of exploration, I discovered a new medium that enabled me to create abstractions and print them so they now were my photographs of my paintings.”
This is Michael Eastman’s second solo show with dnj Gallery. He has exhibited across the country and his work is included in several esteemed institutions, such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, The International Center of Photography, The High Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.
Maria Luisa Morando continues her comments on the ocean and the landscape of the coast. Like memories, her images are both familiar and elusive. Morando’s intentionally overexposed images erase the distracting details in the landscape and provide a moment or time without limit. Her scenes offer a true sense of space.
