Beyond Boundaries: Contemporary
Photography in California
January 27 - March 25, 2001

This project began with an innocent question, casually asked: "What is the most compelling photography made in California during the last five years?" Beyond Boundaries: Contemporary Photography in California, is one answer to that question. The sixty-four artists represented here have been selected from a pool of over 300 photographers, nominated by museum curators, gallery directors, art publishers and critics, specialists in small non-profit organizations and large metropolitan museums, working across the state. Developed through a year of meetings with the artists involved, Beyond Boundaries is arranged as a loosely thematic collage which echoes their crisscrossing threads and transcending differences of generation, gender, and artistic training. This exhibition is accompanied by a catalog, distributed by D.A.P.
