On view in in OMCA’s Gallery of California Art, the exhibition is the first of an ongoing series exploring contemporary topics in California through photography. In the tradition of great partnerships such as the iconic collaborations such as Dorothea Lange and her husband, Paul Taylor, the Lights provide a fresh, contemporary view of both the beauty and the callous truths in this important agricultural region in California.
The second exhibition, Beth Yarnell Edwards: Suburban Dreams (January 19 – June 30, 2013) features large-scale color photographs of domestic scenarios revealing how people behave in their homes. Coinciding with the opening of the new Bay Bridge span, the third exhibition, Peter Stackpole: Bridging the Bay (July 20 – December 2013), features stunning black-and-white photographs o the original San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge construction by one ofLIFE magazine’s first staff photographers.
