ArtBeat: What To See
1) Compose and photograph a still life
2) Crop a subset of the image and send that file digitally to a painting factory in China.
3) Wait (weeks) for an anonymous artist in China to complete an oil painting of the cropped section and send it back to Chervinsky in the mail.
4) Reinsert the painting into the original setup and rephotograph.
John Cyr’s “Developer Trays” is a series documenting, yes, developer trays: specific, tangible printing tools that have been a seminal part of the photographic experience for the past hundred years. By titling each tray with its owner’s name, he references the historical significance of these objects in a minimal manner that evokes thoughts about the images that have passed through each artist’s tray. Also on view: portfolio showcases of Elaine Mayes and David Torcoletti. Reception: Saturday, October 20, 6-8pm (Through November 11)
