Letting Go -  A Meditation on the Tamarack Tree, its Environment, and the Meaning of Loss.

From the exhibit narrative:

"The Tamarack tree finds purchase on shaky ground. It is a transition zone pioneer, a key provocateur in the drama of converting lake into forest. As sediments precipitate out of suspension, over time the lake becomes shallow, giving lily pads and other sunlight-seeking, sky-reaching plants the opportunity to take root. They in turn eventually provide sufficient - if uncertain - foundation for the tentative Tamarack seed."

A group of photographers known as the “Signature Seven” will be displaying their artwork at the Horicon Marsh Education Center Monday July 2nd and continuing until August 31st.

What is a photographic signature style? It is a unique way of looking at and capturing the world with a camera.

The photographers collaborating on this exhibit came together through a photographic art class taught at the Center for Photography at Madison. The goal was to develop an individual “signature style” that could be expressed in a body of work, such as a portfolio, an exhibit, or a book.

That’s what they’ve been doing for the past three years – establishing and refining their own signature styles. This exhibit, and subsequent book, is a testament to how they have come to apply thier individual styles to the subject of Wisconsin.

CoPA's Seventh Annual Members' Exhibition opened with a reception on Gallery Night at 262 East Menomonee in the Third Ward, just across from Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD). This year, the Members' Show features 113 regional artists. The exhibition will be on display with regular gallery hours from April 20 to May 12, 2012.

The exhibition spans the gamut of photography: natural and urban landscapes, fantasy, travel, digital manipulation, black and white close-ups, psychological portraits, mixed media, and much more. CoPA’s members include well-established professional photographers, college students and amateurs. Some experiment fearlessly; others are consummate craftsmen, committed to traditional processes. All are united by a passion for fine art photography.
 

Gallery Night Opening Reception
Friday, April 20     5–9 pm


CoPA member Paul Matzner's photograph “Wild Hair Day” was chosen
 for Off the Cuff: The Spontaneous and Unrehearsed, a juried exhibition at the Minneapolis Photo Center.

On display through February 26, Off the Cuff features images by 70 photographers from across the U.S. that demonstrate the complex and varied roles photography employs as a witness and an accomplice in seeing the world. Relating to both the genres of street photography and performance art, these images may collectively portray chance encounters, improvisations, decisive moments in the height of action, and documents of occurrences. Without premeditation, the photographer captures what arises – acting as the mediator between the photograph and events as they unfold
