Upcoming Exhibition : The Museum Project 2012-2015

The Museum Project 2012-2015

Curated by Robert von Sternberg

"In 2012, I felt compelled to express my appreciation to the Museums and Universities that had long supported me in my career as an Artist and University Art Professor. My idea was, in gratitude, 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." - Robert von Sternberg.

Featuring the work of : Barry Andersen, Laurie Brown, Darryl Curran, Robert Fichter, Anthony Friedkin, Judith Golden, Betty Hahn, Suda House, Victor Landweber, Kenda North, Jane O'Neal, Sheila Pinkel, Bonnie Schiffman, Rena Small, Michael Stone, Robert von Sternberg, Melanie Walker, Todd Walker, and Nancy Webber.

Laura Parker, Rotations (Landscape in Green & Red),

2009, chromagenic monotype prints, installation of 7 panels, unique, 51.5" x 72"

Laura Parker, Naked Eye Objects (Red),

2007, digital c-print, 20" x 20"

Laura Parker examines time, structure and similar themes in relation to insight and observation. She explains that, "Photography, whether moving or still, inevitably leads to issues of perception. While we use a variety of devices to frame or study an object, the act of looking -eye movements- can be broken down into the intentional and the random.” She asks her viewer to question the concept of truth and its relationship to perceived reality.  And, in the end, Parker’s work is as much about its installation.  “From the planetary to the simple hollow of a bowl, I find myself attracted to the circle.”  In much of her work, a circle reveals no end and brings the viewer back to the beginning, and creates juxtapositions within the work.

Laura Parker is collected privately throughout California and the United States. She earned her BFA, Magna cum Laude from UCLA and her MFA from CalArts, Valencia, CA. Most recently, her work was on view at the Rayko Photo Center, San Francisco, the Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena and Kontor Projects, Copenhagen, Denmark. She currently lives and works in Pasadena.

Melanie Walker's photography facilitates a visual dialogue with her father.  In “Wanderlust,” Melanie combines images from a decade of travels to investigate experiences of time, place and memory.  In creating this series, she was influenced by her father’s writing:  “I remember a time, I remember a place, I try to return, It is not here. / The time was here, the place was then.  I am now, not then. / Place, time and I happened together, but not again.”

Melanie Walker is an Associate Professor, Interdisciplinary Media Art Practices, Photography at the University of Colorado, Boulder.  She holds a B.A. from San Francisco State University and an M.F.A. from Florida State University.   Her work is in the permanent collections of museums across the country, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, Arizona.  Her work has appeared in numerous solo and group exhibitions.
