WYNN & EDNA BULLOCK
This stunning exhibition will include a selection of contemporary archival pigment on paper Estate Prints (black & white) as well as a group of original Wynn Bullock prints covering the entire range of his creative photography from the early experimental work to his last body of abstract imagery; a selection of Edna Bullock’s black & white prints will provide a complementary attraction to Wynn’s work; the entire 44-piece Color Light Abstraction traveling show; and even a few larger (40” x 60”) color prints. This is only the second time that this entire body of work has been shown.
The Opening Reception for WYNN & EDNA BULLOCK will be on Wednesday, March 21 – 5:30 to 7 p.m., followed by a panel discussion led by Wynn and Edna’s daughter Barbara Bullock Wilson, along with Dr. Richard Zakia and Gordon Brown.
Now running through November 5 at the Palm Beach Photographic Centre are two exhibitions:
+ The View Project edited by Joyce Tennyson, showcasing work by 70 international photographers that attempt to reveal something about each photographer’s inner life – images that are personal and powerful, yet perhaps not clearly understood, even to the viewer/photographer. There will be a special opening reception at PBPC on Friday, November 2, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., followed by a lecture by Joyce Tennyson at 7:30 p.m.
+ FOTOcamp 2011, featuring numerous moving and magical images captured by children and teens who participated in one of PBPC’s three special FOTOcamp sessions last June & July.
