This major survey exhibition of more than 120 works by artists shown at Blue Sky will demonstrate the critical role that the gallery has played in the reconsideration and establishment of photography as a fine art medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the gallery\u2019s start in 1975, Blue Sky\u2019s founders endeavored to bring the most dynamic contemporary photographers working in the United States and eventually throughout the world to the Pacific Northwest. The gallery has introduced more than 700 emerging and established photographers to the region, providing a direct and immediate means to consider the latest in documentary, conceptual, and formal artwork. The Center\u2019s early support of now-renowned photographers including Nan Goldin, John Divola, Mark Klett, Robert Frank, and Larry Sultan, among many others, established Blue Sky as a preeminent West Coast venue, where emerging photographers engaging with 21st- century technologies continue to find their voices and eager audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An accompanying full-color catalogue features essays by Julia Dolan, Ph.D., the Museum\u2019s Minor White Curator of Photography, and Todd J. Tubutis, Executive Director of Blue Sky Gallery, as well as an interview with the institution\u2019s four surviving founders. The exhibition and publication demonstrate the gallery\u2019s meaningful contribution to an international dialogue about the meaning of photography in modern society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Organized by the Portland Art Museum and curated by Julia Dolan, Ph.D., The Minor White Curator of Photography.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n\t<lite-youtube class=\"lite-youtube-embed pam-youtube-embed\" videoid=\"ntMrc0CKKMA\" playlabel=\"Play Video\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/ntMrc0CKKMA\/maxresdefault.jpg);\" params=\"controls=1&#038;modestbranding=2&#038;autoplay=1\"><\/lite-youtube>\n\t<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Blue Sky Preview with Curator Julia Dolan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acknowledgments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>MAJOR SPONSORS: The Ford Family Foundation; Jim and Susan Winkler; Anonymous.
