Todd Hido by Evan Orensten
Todd Hido is a SF Bay Area artist and photographer. He is a master with light and color, which helps illuminate the anonymity—of place, of location and of self—that is so central to his work. Who lives in these neighborhoods, in these houses? How did we, the voyeurs, arrive there? We are at once both intrigued and drawn away. The images are solemn, powerful and intriguing.
Todd shows his work at Stephen Wirtz Gallery, and is repped professionally by Edge Reps (those of you in the U.S. may recognize his recent work for Axe deoderant and soap). All three of these sites have extensive images to check out.

Catharine Clark Gallery Photo Exhibit
Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco started 2007 with a photo exhibit that opened yesterday, featuring the works of Aaron Plant (U.S), Ruud van Empel (The Netherlands), Ellen Kooi (The Netherlands), and Carlos and Jason Sanchez (Canada).

Slideluck Potshow
by Laura Neilson In the spirit of community, art, and food, Slideluck Potshow is exactly what it (sort of) sounds like, a potluck slideshow. Anyone can attend the events, however guests are asked to bring contributions in the form of food, drink and imagery. Photographers of all subject matters and experience levels are encouraged to submit their work for the entertainment portion of the evening....

Lumas Editions Gallery, Melbourne
Melbourne may well be miles from most of the world's cultural epicenters, but when it comes to appreciation of quality photographic art, Melbournians know their stuff. Perhaps that's why Lumas Editions decided to expand their global galleries by opening a Melbourne tangent just over a month ago. Located in the hip Little Collins Street precinct, Melbourne's Lumas Gallery continues the company's global reputation for...

Jeff Bark: Woodpecker
Jeff Bark's newest works are the subject of his solo show, Woodpecker, at the Michael Hoppen Contemporary Gallery in London; it's his second show at the gallery. Bark's newest works are so multilayered it makes my brain hurt—in the best way possible. The photos feel like part diorama, painting and film. His involved process includes constructing a pond-like set that took over a month...

Basco
He goes by Vasco, Bazko, Vasko or Basco. At 20 years old he still has some time to figure out what his tag should be. But he doesn’t have that much time. Due to his success at the Upper Playground in association with Fifty24SF. The show opens Thursday, 2 March 2006 and runs through 1 April 2006. Look for his simple yet expressive faces,...
