| Here we are at the end of 2012, which has been a great year for us in the gallery, so now we're eagerly looking ahead to the new year. We've got some wonderful exhibits planned starting with our first show of the year, Camille Seaman's Melting Away. Melting Away will be on exhibit in the gallery from January 3 through February 16, 2013. We'll host a reception, which is open to the public, on Thursday, January 3, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Corden/Potts Gallery is located at 49 Geary Street, Suite 410, in San Francisco. The gallery is open 11 am to 5:30 pm Tuesdays through Saturdays, and until 7:30 pm on the first Thursday of each month. If you've followed the gallery for the past few years, you know that we exhibited Camille's The Last Iceberg two years ago. There was an amazing response to Camille's work during that first exhibit, so we're very excited to have the opportunity to show Melting Away, a continuation of Camille's effort to call attention to and to document the quickly disappearing icecaps in both arctic regions. "I approach the images of icebergs as portraits of individuals, much like family photos of my ancestors," Camille says of the project she began in 2003. "I seek a moment in their life in which they convey their unique personality, some connection to our own experience and a glimpse of their soul which endures." Camille continues, "My photographic project comes at a critical time, having spent over a decade working as expedition photographer on small ships in both the Arctic and Antarctic for many months at a time I have documented what can only be described as the 'melting away'." Based in Emeryville, Camille is a 2013 Senior TED Fellow. She was profiled in the December 6 issue of Nature, a prestigious scientific journal, as well as in the December 2012 issue of O: The Oprah Magazine. Her photographs have been published in National Geographic Magazine, Italian Geo, The New York Times Sunday Magazine, Newsweek, Outside, Zeit Wissen, Men's Journal, Camera Arts, Issues, PDN, and American Photo among many others. In addition, Camille's photographs have received many awards including a National Geographic Award, in 2006, and the Critical Mass Top Monograph Award, in 2007. In 2008 she was honored with a one-person exhibition, The Last Iceberg, at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC, and has exhibited her work in galleries around the world. She studied photography with Jan Groover and has since taken master workshops with Steve McCurry, Sebastiao Salgado, and Paul Fusco. She frequently leads photographic and self-publishing workshops. We wish you the happiest of New Year's and look forward to seeing you in the gallery for Camille's Melting Away. Liz & Jan |
