Curated by:Serrah Russell & Rafael Soldi
Featuring current and previous members of Society for Photographic Education - Just Visiting is a collaborative exhibition, curated by Rafael Soldi and Serrah Russell, connecting photographers based in Washington, Oregon and B.C.300 miles is a long way, but from where Seattle is sitting— halfway between Portland and Vancouver B.C.— it is too short a distance to house three major art hubs that rarely interact. Just Visiting presents photographic works by 14 artists residing in these cultural centers, paired together into seven collaborative couples. As curators, our act of pairing artists provides a framework for visual conversation and conceptual exploration as we seek to connect artists whose work plays off of each other’s and who would benefit from being introduced. We are seeking sponsorship from Amtrak to fund travel to allow for artist pairs to participate in mutual studio visits and lead each other through the art of their city. By experiencing each other’s work, discussing their practice, and critiquing each other’s progress, each artist will create a new work specifically for the exhibition.
Just Visiting will function on a macro and micro level, offering a snapshot of contemporary photographic practice in our region, as well as overlapping narratives triggered by the conceptual framework set forth by the curators. Our cities are connected by train tracks, but also by artistic tracks that are invisible to us… This exhibition aims to uncover them.

Graduated at the prestigious INSAS (Institut National Superieur des Arts du spectacle et des Techniques de diffusion ) in Brussels, he started his career in the film industry, before working as an independent press photographer. From 1995, his photographs featured in national and international newspapers. JC Moschetti, through his travels specially to Africa , started a more personal project around the theme of traditional West African secret societies. His series explore the supernatural influences in the daily lives. Sacred masks, postures, costumes create the bridge between the spiritual powers and the natural world.

James Harris Gallery
Amir Zaki: Survey 1999-2015
October 15 – November 19, 2016
6-8 Thursday.
James Harris gallery is pleased to present Amir Zaki, Survey 1999 – 2015. The gallery has represented the artist since it was established in 1999. This comprehensive survey show presents work from ten series created by the artist during the past 16 years. His photographic practice engages with Southern California landscapes, from urban settings of Los Angeles to architectural structures in suburbia to portraits of its natural elements. Zaki is interested in how the camera translates the physical environment into two-dimensional representation. The core of the artist’s practice is focused on the often peculiar vernacular of the Los Angeles Basin and how the strangeness of its natural and man-made elements lend themselves to be perfect subjects for the medium of photography. Zaki creates digitally manipulated photographs, a practice he calls “hybrid photography”, posing questions around the authenticity of images and the impossibility of a physical, spatial relationship to these landscapes.
