Join artist Chris McCaw at SF Camerawork for a special behind-the-scenes look at the tools, techniques, and adventures that inform his extraordinary photographic practice.McCaw transforms photography's essential components--light, time, and photosensitive materials--into physical records of duration and exposure, revealing our place within a cosmos in motion.
The artist will discuss the works currently on view in Chris McCaw: Double Day, including a monumental twenty-five-panel piece that traces the continuous daylight of the Arctic summer. Widely regarded as one of McCaw's most significant achievements, the work is being exhibited on the West Coast for the first time.
During this program, McCaw will have one of his handbuilt, large-format cameras on hand, offering insight into the process behind his celebrated Sunburn photographs. Attendees will also have the opportunity to view the artist's custom expedition van, which serves as both transportation and base camp during photographic journeys to some of North America's most remote landscapes.
Part artist talk and part camera demonstration, this program offers a rare opportunity to experience the process behind one of contemporary photography's most distinctive bodies of work.
