 x106 / Fax: 415.512.7109\n\n\nJoin us to celebrate the opening of three new 
 exhibitions that will be on view from \n\nJune 4 – August 22, 
 2009\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday, June 4th  5-8 PM\n\n\nErsatz Group 
 Exhibition\n\nErsatz Group Exhibition uses the aesthetics and mechanisms of 
 the postal service as means for an exhibition of artwork created by mail. 
 Mail art has evolved as an artistic genre since the mid 20th century and 
 remains a popular form of expression due to its egalitarian, free form 
 structure. Keeping within an egalitarian framework, the exhibition is 
 co-curated by UPS professional Dennis D’Ambrogio, with assistance from 
 co-curators Chris Fitzpatrick and Chuck Mobley.\n\nCurators Larry Rinder 
 and Evelyne Jouanno have been invited to tour the exhibition in advance of 
 the opening and respond to the work in the exhibition catalog that will 
 accompany the show. The catalog will serve as a directory of international 
 artists, and beginning in July will be available in book form from 
 print-on-demand company Blurb, as well as a downloadable PDF on SF 
 Camerawork’s website.\n\n\nLeaving a Mark: Cutter Photozine\n\nCutter 
 Photozine is a Bay Area-based documentary photo magazine dedicated to 
 featuring people telling their own stories and documenting their own 
 existence. Cutter seeks to undo a traditional voyeurism of the "other" and 
 place the power of sight in the focused home of the author. This special 
 exhibition celebrates the launch of the second issue: Leaving a Mark with 
 more than 25 artists featured. The exhibition Leaving a Mark: Cutter 
 Photozine is organized by Cutter editors, Jesse Rose Roberts, Heather Renee 
 Russ and, Rachel Styer.\n\n\n2009 James D. Phelan Art Award in 
 Photography\nDoris Jew Conrath and Jim Stone\nThe James D. Phelan Art Award 
 in Photography is administered annually by SF Camerawork for The San 
 Francisco Foundation, and is given in recognition of artistic achievements 
 by California-born artists. The 2009 award recipients are Doris Jew Conrath 
 and Jim Stone. Jurors for this year’s award were: Allan deSouza, artist 
 and SFAI professor, and Cathy Kimball, executive director of San Jose 
 Institute for Contemporary Art.\n\nAward recipient Doris Jew Conrath’s 
 panoramic images are created out of several photographs. The artist 
 explains, “Instead of wide views of a physical space taken by pivoting 
 from one point, I record while walking around a structure and unfold the 
 space in a manner similar to a world map created by using a cylindrical 
 projection method.  The individual photographs are then digitally stitched 
 together, forming a new space that shows all sides, allowing the viewer to 
 take in multi facets at once.”\n\nThe photography of Jim Stone explores 
 facets of America’s unusual and complex character, including such 
 sub-themes as obsession and its public display, the mixing of religious and 
 military iconography in a peaceable secular society, and the ironic 
 difference between intent and achievement. Ultimately the artist sees his 
 work as framing “an organized set of graphic and sociological 
 concerns.”\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/05/27/18598677.php
