Rambling around the finite physical world, photographer’s visions are bound to cross paths, intersecting across time, space and intent at touchstone subject matter. We've called a group of 20 photographers back to 5 such seminal subject crossroads. A chair, a flower, a window, a tree, and the road; these are subjects we have found our way to, in our own way, on our own way.
“I Got 5 On It” seeks to celebrate the overlapping moments of individual creative trajectories, to examine these common subjects as expressed by a variety of photographers, and to create an opportunity to study photographer’s styles as evidenced across these subjects. Our hope is that by presenting these 5 subjects as captured by a diverse group of photographers side-by-side, we can coax the magical quality of the images, the extra something we’re really getting at, aside from the physical subject, to the fore.
We’re playing with what we have in common to get at what sets us apart.

I have a few pieces in the upcoming debut show at KrowsworK, 'As X Approaches Infinity'. The show is filling out pretty video intensive, which is unusual and exciting. Roll on through this new Oakland art space and peep you some works , including one "from the eyes of a clown-shaman"? Why not!murmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmur

Krowswork inaugurates its program with “As X → ∞” (As X Approaches Infinity),* an exhibition of videos and photographs that explores ideas of the infinite, divinity, and the leap between reason and faith as a natural expression of the mediums themselves. Because they are “reality” based and poised at the intersection of the mechanical and the conceptual, video and photography are uniquely suited to emulate and traverse these philosophical pathways. In “As X → ∞” the artists record their specific engagement with the infinite as either direct references to spiritual or ritualized experiences, abstracted allusions to cosmic forms, or playful, elliptical manifestations of the paradox of attempting the approach at all, affirming Kierkegaard’s belief that “the only thing that can save [man] is the absurd, and this he grasps by faith.”

In the screening room, we will feature a 20-minute looped program of videos ranging from 21 seconds to 4 minutes with works by Usuna & Kristie Alshaibi, Animal Charm, Nate Boyce, Torsten Zenas Burns, Volkan Ergen, Sabine Gruffat, Kaliptus, Jason Livingston, Austin Muller, and Aaron Oldenburg. Though conceived individually, the works are curated to be seen together, presenting a complete meditation on the show’s subject. Visitors to the gallery are welcome to a cup of tea or coffee while they watch. Hundred-year-old oak pews with velvet cushions serve as seating and set the tone for a unique experience.
In the project room are an installation and video by RKDB which explore divination and ritual from the eyes of a clown-shaman. Also on view in the exhibition space is the work of five photographers: Gigi Gatewood, Adam Wier, Paula Catao, Walker Dukes, and Lauren Orchowski, whose works approach infinity from the perspective of the sacred, the profane, the fanciful, the ritualized, and the cosmic, respectively.
*The title is borrowed from an expression in calculus where the value of a function is determined by solving for the limit of the function as x approaches infinity. One might extrapolate that as X Approaches Infinity, the function (art) = ∞, therefore this is not an indeterminate form. It has meaning. Thus, the limit does not exist.
