Artist talk with Nathan Vass, interview by Quinn Hallenbeck

Artist Nathan Vass‘ chosen medium, analogue color photography, will be remembered as one of the shortest-lived art forms; it came of age in the ’70s, the populist sibling of B&W (itself the awkward stepchild of painting) and part of a medium invented too late to be taken seriously. It died out in large part on August 30th, 2018, when the last large professional-grade, public-access color darkroom in the US closed its doors. The timing is unfortunate: film, though no longer the norm for image-making, remains the premier avenue of approach for fine art photo work and is the fastest-growing trend in photography today. After two decades of experimentation with digital cameras, there can be no arguing that film yields a better image. In so doing, what else does it tell us? Nathan Vass' solo photography exhibition, "Present Perfect", will be on display at Gallery 110 from July 6 – 29, 2023. Gallery hours are Thursday – Saturday from 12pm – 5pm and by appointment. Gallery 110 will be hosting an artist talk (interviewed by Quinn Hallenbeck) with Nathan Vass on Saturday, July 15 at 2pm. Free. https://www.gallery110.com/events/
