| Los Angeles: Women In Photography International (WIPI) and Pierce College Art Gallery present the juried kitsch & klick (the art of the toy camera), at the Pierce College Art Gallery in Woodland Hills, March 23 - April 25, 2002. The exhibition includes 17 photographers based in the Los Angeles area, including Lauren Gabriele, Elizabeth Kenneday, Juanita Richeson, Jill Specht and Cassie Tondro to name a few. Guest lecturer, Patrick Miller will present a gallery tour explaining the toy cameras used and insights of how the results were produced. Jurors, Scott Canty, Curator at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Jean Ferro, President of Women In Photography International and Mary E. Oliver, Director of the Pierce College Art Gallery, selected 51 unique images produced with toy cameras such as the LOMO and the Holga cameras. According to Jean Ferro, the images are fun, spontaneous and often a delightful surprise to the photographer along with providing entertaining results for the viewer.
Sponsored in part by generous support of the Friends of the Art Gallery/Pierce College Foundation, many of the photographs will be available for purchase, with a percentage of the proceeds going to both Friends of the Art Gallery and WIPI. Additional sponsorship is provided by the Lomographic Society / USA (www.lomography.com) and Freestyle Photographic Supplies / Los Angeles (www.Freestylephoto.biz).
