<\/a><\/p>\nAperture Foundation held a Spring Fundraiser — the first annual, they said (though later it was determined that Spring Fundraisers may have\u00a0occurred in the past). Anyway, this one was centered around a Penelope Umbrico project called Moving Mountains<\/em>, which, is likely best explained in her words:<\/h5>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mountains, Moving, 2012 \u2013 ongoing, considers an analog history of photography within the digital torrent that is its current technological manifestation. I steady my focus on the mountain: oldest subject, stable object, singular, immovable landmark, site of orientation, place of spiritual contemplation. I employ smartphone camera apps to make new photographs of the images of mountains that appear in canonical master photographs. I find them everywhere: in books, magazines, advertisements, online. Pointing my iPhone down at these mountains, the hallucinogenic colors of the camera app filters blend with the disorienting effects of the iPhone\u2019s gravity sensor. Photo grain, dot-screen, pixel, and screen resolution collide, often performing undulating moir\u00e9s. My mountains are unstable, mobile, have no gravity, change with each iteration, remastered. <\/em>Here is the biggest distance, the longest range. I present a dialogue between distance and proximity, limited and unlimited, the singular and the multiple, the fixed and the moving, the master and the copy. I propose an inverse correlation between the number of photographs that exist of mountains at any one time, and the stability of photography at that time.<\/em><\/h5>\n <\/p>\n

What she didn’t say was that there were 350 pieces in this project (and we printed ALL<\/em> of them for a one-night event!). It was easy though … Penelope is super-together and terrific to work with.<\/h5>\n <\/p>\n

That’s a mere 84 out of 350 Moving Mountains<\/em> right there …<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
As usual, it was a booming fun party with lots of people and food and music … and an open bar that didn’t seem to disappoint anyone involved.<\/h5>\n
