Beatrix Reinhardt: Members Only ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beatrix Reinhardt's photographs open the doors to a private life
that is inaccessible to all but a few people. It is almost
forbidden to see, and Reinhardt had to
knock on many doors until she was granted access to these
places. Prestigious or not, social clubs
by definition are exclusionary. They are frequented by people
who want to be with others of equal social rank, interests,
backgrounds, or ages, and always at the expense of shutting
out everybody else.
Reinhardt deliberately chose to depict the clubs without showing any people. The images guide the viewer through barren rooms and empty hallways after hours. Neither the club members nor the social activities these institutions are known for are part of this photographic series. Reinhardt instead describes this reclusive world through the environment club members have created, but not through the members themselves.

Judy Natal: The Hermetic Alphabet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The exhibition The Hermetic Alphabet
showcases Judy Natal's photographic alphabet. Natal created
the images with found letters and
images photographed over a 10-year period. Twenty-six
photographs grace the walls at Light Work's Community
Darkrooms. The artist created an image for most letters in the
alphabet. Some images are without letters, which the artist
included as a visual pause in the series.
Natal completed the alphabet while she participated in Light Work's Artist-in-Residence program in 2004. In the same year, her EarthWords was featured in our main gallery, accompanied by an exhibition catalogue (Contact Sheet 126).
