The absence of the tipped-in photographs suggests the transient nature of all photographic representations and of their unstable material bases,” she says. "]"Country Gardens” by Linda Levinson [/caption]UW-L Assistant Professor of Art Linda Levinson’s photography aims to capture the tumultuous climate and uncertainty of the times we are living. Her nationally-recognized work will be part of the art exhibition “Transient States” Tuesday, July 10, through Saturday, Aug. 25, at SF Camerawork, 1011 Market St., San Francisco. The theme of the exhibit revolves around the transient times of today. The exhibition website describes the continuous state of transformation in society and photography. In the past year, countries have seen the fall of dictatorships and the collapse of weakened economies. Similarly, photography is also undergoing a dramatic evolution from analog to digital. SF Camerawork’s exhibitions are nationally recognized as a focal point for innovation, a pacesetter for new trends in the medium and a launching pad for artists’ careers. Exhibitions present contemporary work in the photographic arts, as well as digital, video and related visual image media. Transient States was organized by curator Lisa Sutcliffe, assistant curator, Department of Photography San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
