WORLD IN A JAR: WAR & TRAUMA |
| The Gallery at the Creative Center for Photography |
January 24, 2008 -

|
|

The pictorial sculpture WORLD IN A JAR: WAR & TRAUMA curates and
re-imagines key components from historical and original images to explore the workings
of our collective societal memory involving loss, popular culture, religion, tragedy, and
wickedness over the past four centuries.
Using the Shoah as its point of departure, World in a Jar is a free-form montage that
rethinks the customary linear narrative format by presenting an archive of what Mr. Hirsch
chose to remember, without attaching a fixed ending. Over 800 jars are on display, each
one a building block for a new structure. It is a flexible configuration allowing this to be
a perpetual work in progress, recreating itself each time it is installed. It permits each
photograph to not only present its own split-second historical reference, but also informs
the context of the images surrounding it. This open-ended viewing experience, not unlike
memory itself, can convey an endless tale that exists outside of chronological time.

Three Generations Of Weston Photography |
| The Gallery at the Creative Center for Photography |

No other family has placed such an enduring stamp on the medium of photography as the world-renowned Weston family. The Freestyle Creative Center for Photography presents the three generations of the Weston family: Edward, Brett and Kim Weston.
Edward Weston has been called, "The most influential American photographer of the 20th century." His passion for the creation of realistic images led him to found Group f64 that included photographers Ansel Adams and Imogne Cunningham. *
Edward's son, Brett, followed after his father. Brett took his father's approach even further to create his own collection of masterfully crafted images. His work has been exhibited in galleries and collections across the globe.
Today, Brett's nephew Kim, who worked very closely with Brett, continues to advance the Weston family legacy. Kim explores a different approach on photography with his studio-based pictorial style. He also holds fine art workshops in the Carmel Highlands of Northern California.
At the special opening of this exhibition at the Creative Center for Photography at Freestyle, Kim will be on hand to provide a unique insight into the individual works and into the lives of the artists who created these masterpieces.
*All Edward Westons in this show were printed by Cole or Kim Weston.

Kirk Gittings has assembled twenty haunting black and white photographs that showcase his clear mastery of the art. He portrays the high deserts of New Mexico with a striking intimacy. Billowing clouds rise above forbidding cliffs; an endless horizon grounds these images with an intense sense of place.

Freestyle Photographic Supplies proudly presents Gil Garcetti's Frozen Music, an exhibition of black and white, silver-gelatin prints of Frank O. Gehry's architectural masterpiece, the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The works perfectly capture the dynamic interplay of the rigid steel, the workers, and the miraculous, fluid curves that resulted.
