RIVERSIDE, Calif. ñ (June 1, 2009) UCR ARTSblock's Digital Studio develops an array of engaging collaborative art projects for the local community of Riverside and surrounding region. The Digital Studio then showcases the final works on plasma screens in the gallery at UCR California Museum of Photography. The most recent effort, Joshua Tree Photo Excursion 2009, brought together over eighty amateur, emerging, and established photographers for a weekend of workshops, lectures, and fun. The final exhibit of classically styled landscapes and abstract floral renderings opens June 1 with a reception during Riverside's First Thursday ARTSwalk on June 4th @ 6:00 ñ 8:00pm at the UCR California Museum of Photography.
This year, Joshua Tree weekend actually began in Palms Springs with a conversation between Colin Westerbeck, director of UCR/CMP, and photo collector David Knaus at his home, sharing a diverse collection of desert photographs from around the world. After a provocative presentation highlighting formal concerns, the assembled group made its way to Twentynine Palms for a workshop on night photography led by photojournalist Carlos Puma. Participants were able to train their lenses on a brilliant full moon that shone over Joshua Tree during the entire three days. Finally, in between forays into the park to snap pictures, photographers gathered at the Tumbleweed Gallery in Morongo Valley for a local photo show.
Photographers represented in Joshua Tree 2009 include: Alma Lopez, Ami Flori, Andrea Price, Angelique Galvan, Anthony Rosales, Barbara May, Beatriz Mejia-Krumbein, Bruce Miller, CR Steyck, Carlos Garcia, Carlos Puma, Corinne Cardenas, D'Arcy Curwen, Debera LaFave, Diane Calder, Doug Buckley, Michael J. Elderman, Eszter Delgado, Geno Lopez, Geoff, Shaw, Isabel Delgado-Betz, Jacalyn Lopez Garcia, Jason Ejercito, Jim Belsley, Jose Beruvides, Julia Buckley, Julian Cuevas, Justin Kenward, Katelin Johnson, Laura Araujo, Mary Maurry, Mateo Delgado-Betz, Memo Cuevas, Pat May, Peter Krumbein, Rex Bruce, Reggie Woolery, Rhoda Lewis, Susanne Melanie Berry, and Thom Cameron.
