Attention to Tension
Felicia Perez's 11th-graders at Los Angeles High School have partnered with 826LA, the J. Paul Getty Museum, and acclaimed photographer Jo Ann Callis to learn formal art analysis, to shoot their own photographs, and to develop artist statements. The result is Attention to Tension, a photography exhibition open May 31–June 13 at The Golden State Cafe. The gallery captures implied tension in skylines and off-kilter domestic spaces, as well as overt tension in an operating room, a flexed forearm, a cat's eye, and a staged showdown.
You'll have the chance to celebrate with the young photographers at the gallery opening—2:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 31. Please follow this link to RSVP: http://attentiontotension.eventbrite.com/.
