The Contemporary Choral Collective of Los Angeles

Last Saturday, March 4th, dnj Gallery hosted The Contemporary Choral Collective of Los Angeles.

C3LA is a new choral music ensemble exclusively performing music written during the last 25 years, about a third of which is by members of the group itself. It’s a collective of composers, conductors, and singers, with all members of the group taking on different directorship roles - there is no one music director.

When did it stop being fun?

April 16 - June 11, 2016

This exhibition explores the emotions of children as they progress through their education. At the start of a child's formal education there is excitement, enthusiasm and a love of learning. The young student is eager to learn and is pleased to be in this new setting. But, as children age, things change. Kids become sleep deprived and lack adequate nutrition, trying to keep a balance. Many become extremely focused on academic scores and grades.

Opening reception, April 16th, 6 - 8pm

Dylan Vitone

dnj Gallery artist

The MoonArk:

The MoonArk is a sort of eight-inch-tall portrait of humanity, with more than 200 artists and designers contributing to it.

"One of the murals in the Meta-sphere Chamber, "Texts to Elaine," features personal photographs Dylan Vitone sent to his wife over a five-year period. "Cynical me is critiquing the way we broadcast our life. The sentimental me is kind of celebrating this thing that's really important for me and trying to give it more meaning than it actually has." Dylan said.

The Museum Project 2012-2015 Featured in Silvershotz

The Museum Project 2012-2015, recently featured in the October edition of Silvershotz Magazine.

In 2012, American photographer and curator, Robert von Sternberg, felt compelled to express his appreciation to the museums and universities that had long supported him in his career as an artist and university art professor. His idea was to donate works of art to institutions that would welcome these additions to their permanent collections. A group of like-minded artists, also willing to make donations, was mobilized, and The Museum Project was born.

Upcoming Exhibition: First Annual LACP Student Street Shooting in Los Angeles

The dnj Gallery and the Los Angeles Center of Photography are proud to announce "Street Shooting in Los Angeles." This exhibit is comprised of 28 photographs taken by 28 photographers under the guidance of street shooting instructor Julia Dean over a six-month period. Street photography is a type of documentary photography that captures candid moments on the street. This genre of photography follows the ethics of photojournalism and documentary photography by not setting up or manipulating the image.  As Julia Dean explains, "Street photography can be a bit scary and exhilarating at the same time. But one thing is for certain, it will make you a better photographer." 

The exhibition features work from: Ali LeRoi, Andrea Troyer, Ann Toler, Anthony Grippa, Basak Prince, Ben Bacon, Caryl Lightfoot, Cheryl Wolfe, Frances Wilson, Gail Just, Hali Helfgott, Jennifer Ruggiero, Jenny Sandersson, Julia Dean, Katharine Lotze, Ken Deemer, Larry Hernandez, Leba Marquez, Maureen Bond, Michael Beller, Michael Hutsenpiller, Patricia Bauer, Ro Gunetilleke, Safi Alia Shabaik, Sally Ann Field, Thouly Dosios, Tia Campbell Peterson, Tom Szabadi, Wednesday Aja.

A Sense of Community: Exploring Place Through Documentary Photography

A Collaborative Book and Gallery Exhibit Between Suburban Prep and Urban Public High Schools

Photography students have joined forces to tell an important story about the tale of their two diametrically divergent communities. Students from the private prep school, Harvard-Westlake, are collaborating with students from the Humanitas Academy of Art and Technology (HAAT), a public high school in East LA, to make a 21st century, vibrant documentary portrait of where “we” live - covering a wide range of territory from wealthy suburbs to urban blue-collar and under-privileged neighborhoods.

The project will culminate in a gallery exhibit and the publication of a hardcover book. This collaboration is being directed by Joe Medina, photography teacher at Harvard Westlake and Joan Dooley, photography teacher at the Humanitas Academy of Art and Technology (HAAT).

The exhibit will open at the DNJ Gallery at Bergamot Station (Santa Monica) on Saturday, May 16, 2015 and remain on view for a month.

The project is inspired by a belief in the power of photography as an educational tool, and a desire to help people communicate the way they see their lives and their communities. The project also aims at encouraging students to respond to artistic challenges that will push their creative and technical boundaries.

For the month of March dnj Gallery is offering a 15% discount on photographs by dnj artist Allan Gill.

Allan Gill, Hummingbird and Hybiscus, 2011,

archival inkjet print on Harmon Baryta photo paper, 16 x 20 inches

After practicing veterinary medicine for decades, Allan Gill turned his medical X-ray equipment on flowers and plants. His glowing images depict both the internal and external structures of his subjects. As he explains, "images are captured in much the same way as with conventional photography, with the difference being instead of utilizing reflected light, I am able to utilize another part of the electromagnetic spectrum...." Gill's technique may seem simple but in fact is the result of years of experimenting with different kinds of X-ray equipment to find the right combination of conditions that would allow him to record the level of detail he desired.

Gill lives and works in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. In addition to establishing a growing audience for his photography, Gill is also a veterinarian. His photographs have been exhibited in Canada and sold in the United States and have been featured in LensWork Magazine, Focus Magazine, American Art Collector, Color Magazine, 'digitalis photo' (Hungary), and Black and White Photography (Britain).
