Andrea Schwartz Gallery: Tina Vietmeier and Catherine Dudley - New Work.
Comment by AB: Tina Vietmeier's abstract mixed media works, incorporating bits and peces of realistic imagery, focus on global warming, particularly with respect to the melting of the polar ice caps. Catherine Dudley works collage, silkscreen, paint, and occasional nails into abstract representational blends.

RayKo Photo: Landscape, Other - Views Outside Convention.
Photographers: Tom Hawkins, Chris McCaw, Elizabeth Mellott, Kristopher Stallworth, Charity Vargas, Clay Harmon, Melissa Fleming, Noah Beil, Hendrik Paul, Pernilla Persson, Kelli Knack, K. Features, Bryan Alberstat, Meghann Riepenhoff, Arthur Cohen, Daniel Grant, and Steven Hight, David Eisenlord.
Comment by AB: All kinds of takes on landscape photography festoon RayKo's perimeter. Of note is a 3-D slide presentation in the back room-- you put on these special viewing glasses (not your old fashioned orange lens/blue lens ones, but high tech ones) which transform flat images into pure 100% three dimensions-- with true colors. It's like you're really there. Meanwhile, in the "you can have your cake and eat it too" department, Steven Hight shoots digital images through the lens of a circa 1950s twin lens reflex camera, connecting the two with a handmade wooden periscope-like contraption. The upshot? Uniquely vintage feel, well composed, visually engaging.
