The Viewpoint Photographic Art Center and the Appel Gallery will join together in January to present a major joint exhibition on the dramatic changes that are transforming China. Opening on January 4, 2008 and continuing through February 2, 2008 at both galleries, the exhibit, “China: Rivers of Change” explores the transformations currently underway in China, as epitomized by the massive Three Gorges Dam project, the largest hydro-electric complex ever built. The exhibit will feature photographs by Linda Butler, James Whitlow Delano, Kathya Landeros and Bill Zorn. The compelling images of these western photographers reveal the wrenching and often poignant details of the enormous changes now taking place in a timeless land.
In addition, Linda Butler and Bill Zorn, two of the photographers participating in the “China: Rivers of Change” exhibit, will give a special Sacramento presentation on their experiences photographing in China. The event will take place on Saturday, January 12 at 3:30 pm. at Viewpoint Gallery. The public is invited. An artists reception will follow at 5:30 pm. |
