All Art Friday Spotlights
✦ Accompanying the exhibition "Light, Paper, Process: Reinventing Photography", at The Getty Museum through September 6, is a publication of the same title. Written by photography curator Virginia Heckert, the book examines the images, practices, and materials of seven artists and how they are innovating with light and paper. Some 125 illustrations are featured. (The exhibition page features a number of videos with the artists spotlighted in the book.)

✦ A solo exhibition "Rara Avis" (continuing through the end of the month) at The Athenaeum in Alexandria, Virginia, sent me to the Website of Beverly Ress, who creates structural and cut drawings that show Ress's strong affinity for forms found in science and mathematics, as well as highlight her technical skill and meticulous attention to detail. Her work, which can be found in collection of The Library of Congress and Amnesty International, among many others, rewards with every look.
✦ Can you guess which of these Richard Siken paintings and photographs I favor? Siken also is an award-winning poet (Crush and War of the Foxes) and a filmmaker. In this interesting interview with Kathleen Rooney at Poetry Foundation, Siken talks about both writing and painting and what each brings to his life.
✦ Cheesecloth might seem an unusual art material; in the hands of Canadian fiber artist Mary Pal, it becomes a unique and beautiful portrait. The internationally exhibited artist is found at Mary Pal Designs. Pal offers two-day workshops during which participants learn some of Pal's methods and techniques.
✦ Below is a short video introduction to the recently concluded exhibition of Hiroshi Sugimoto sculptures and photographs at The Phillips Collection, "Hiroshi Sugimoto: Conceptual Forms and Mathematical Models."
