Opening Reception for Critical Mass 2011
Contents: Love, Anxiety, Happiness & Everything Else
Friday, April 6, 2012, 6:00-9:00 pm

“The aim of Photolucida’s Critical Mass program is to give exposure to emerging and mid-career photographers across the globe. In 2011, over 500 artists entered their work for the chance to be seen by over 200 professionals in the photography world. Curators, gallery directors, editors, and publishers juried the work of these artists, and through a truly democratic process, narrowed the field down to the Critical Mass TOP 50. This exhibition, juried by Darius Himes, will travel from Photo Center NW in Seattle to Newspace Center for Photography, and RayKo Photo Center in San Francisco, furthering the mission of all four photography organizations to bring top emerging talent to the public.”

The exhibition will be on view until April 29, 2012.

It’s awkward and sometimes bleak. But it is also sincere and celebratory, colorful and creative.”
