DESCRIPTION:Photographer Anthony Kurtz is set to exhibit It All Came So Close to Never 
 Happening, a pair of intertwined photographic stories where the outcomes of 
 human uprisings, or the lack thereof, result in a futuristic portrayal of a 
 world gone wrong. Dickerman Prints Gallery will be hosting a public opening 
 reception on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. at 3180 17th 
 Street, San Francisco, and the exhibition will be open on weekdays through 
 April 30, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.\n\nThrough romanticized, dark, 
 bold and evocative imagery, Kurtz blurs the line between fiction and 
 reality while drawing on themes of marginalization, conformity, 
 mass-privatization and environmental degradation.\n\nOne photographic 
 story, The Human Uprising, follows the mass mobilization of common men 
 becoming modern-day heroes in a struggle of ideals and power. It is a tale 
 of solidarity, resistance, revolution and of a common realization that the 
 future of mankind is at stake.\n\nConcurrently, The World of Tomorrow 
 presents a possible aftermath: a romantic and haunting vision of a 
 post-apocalyptic future seen through the lens of stormy skies, deserted 
 cities and abandoned industry.\n\nTaxi magazine said of Kurtz’s work, 
 “Distinct beauty can be seen in Anthony’s portfolio of wonderful 
 imagery that tugs on the human heart and gnaws on the human conscious, 
 calling for awareness of one's own existence, thoughts, and 
 surroundings.”\n\nTogether, the images presented in It All Came So Close 
 to Never Happening read like cinematic stills or panels from a graphic 
 novel: a hyperrealistic view of the world that contains a sense of mystery, 
 sadness, beauty and romanticism.\n\nTo create this alternate reality, Kurtz 
 digitally retouches his original photos by playing with shadow, light and 
 color to form a vibrant mix of documentary and fine art. The resulting 
 images challenge viewers to understand the human condition in modern times 
 and decide if they should be concerned or fascinated by this possible 
 glimpse into our society’s future.\n\nAnthony Kurtz’ Web site is
