City Streets Serve as Muse For 200 Yards Photography Project
Release by Peter Wilke
(San Francisco, CA; May 24, 2011) – 200 Yards, the photography project that focuses on San Francisco neighborhoods 200 yards at a time, has put together its 4th show set to open on June 24, 2011 and launched a call to photographers for its 5th show to take place in the Tenderloin.
The 4th show, exhibiting at Dickerman Prints Photo Lab, showcases 22 images taken by 15 different photographers within the 200 yards circling the corner of 17th St. and South Van Ness. It’s an area that brings together vibrant art studios and ODC with car repair shops and industrial buildings. This collection is one of the most abstract and richly textured exhibitions 200 Yards has put together.
This August the photography exhibit will turn to the Tenderloin as a muse. The 5th show, to be held at Café Royale, is currently accepting submission of photographs taken within the 200-yard radius around the corner of Post and Leavenworth. Genevieve Robertson and Shelly Kerry, creators of the 200 Yards project, are extremely excited about this upcoming show. “Not only have we been wanting to do a show in the Tenderloin since we started, it will mark the one-year anniversary of our first exhibit,” says Robertson. “We hoped the project would continue, but we really had no idea it would catch on the way it has. People are constantly coming out of the woodwork to tell us how much they love the idea.” One of those supporters is The Tender, a blog that is all things Tenderloin. They’ve joined forces with 200 Yards to help spread the word about the August show and the opening reception on Thursday, August 4, 2011 will also be a TenderNights neighborhood party.
With plans to continue doing at least 4 shows a year, the project will continue to explore new neighborhoods and will hopefully venture across the bay to Oakland next year. Kerry and Robertson are also putting more effort into building a community around the project. The guidance, inspiration and support they’ve provided emerging photographers has been extremely well received. In an attempt to provide more resources and structure they will be looking toward collaborations and organizing group events that get photographers together and capturing images.
200 Yards @ Dickerman Prints Photo Lab, 3180 17th Street @ South Van Ness, opens Friday, June 24th with a reception from 6-9pm. To be a part of the 5th show at Café Royale, read the rules and download the map.
Announcing The Ten

Announcing the launch of The Ten:
a highly curated monthly online exhibit of ten photographic images for sale
Atlanta, GA. Jennifer Schwartz Gallery is proud to present The Ten, an online venture launched June 10, 2011. The first Ten features the work of gallery photographer Rachel Barrett.
Jennifer Schwartz Gallery’s mission is to go beyond the traditional gallery model and explore the new contemporary photographic landscape to help our artists move their careers forward and introduce their work to a larger audience. We want to marry the opportunities for exposure online with the ability to acquire limited edition fine art photographs in order to help photographers reach a large audience and make money to finance the creation of future work.
And so we have created The Ten.
The Ten is a highly curated monthly online exhibit of ten photographic images. Each image is available at a 13x19 size in an edition of 25 for $250. Whether a photographer makes a new body of work for The Ten, a guest curator selects images from different photographers, or a photographer self-curates from within his or her existing bodies of work, The Ten is an opportunity for photographers and curators to explore the creative possibilities of pulling together a selection of work with a strong statement and a tight edit.
The uniqueness of The Ten comes from its curation and its exclusivity. Images on The Ten cannot be sold in any other size in any other location. Once an image has been included in The Ten, it must be retired from sale. The only opportunity to purchase that image is on the website for The Ten, and once 25 are sold, it is sold out forever.
The Ten puts up a creative challenge to photographers and curators that we feel is important to keep the medium fresh and relevant.
The first Ten features the work of Rachel Barrett. Born in 1981 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Rachel Barrett moved to New York City in 1999 to study at New York University and received her BFA in Photography & Imaging from The Tisch School of the Arts in 2003 and her MFA in Photography, Video & Related Media from The School of Visual Arts in 2008. Much of her work is deeply rooted in nostalgia, memory and identity and the act of making photographs fulfills her desires to collect the present and preserve the past. Barrett is currently an adjunct professor of photography at Kingsborough Community College and The College of Staten Island. A 2010-11 Tierney Fellow and 2011 PDNs 30, Barrett has received numerous other awards and honors for her personal work. She has shown nationally in both solo and group shows, including exhibitions at The Camera Club of New York, Clark | Oshin, Barbara Krakow Gallery, Sara Tecchia, The Minneapolis Center for Photography and The Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. Her work has been published in The Sunday New York Times, Photo District News, Russian Esquire and Next American City Magazines and acquired into several private collections.
Barrett’s intense focus on her subject, whether the landscape or the people who inhabit those areas, helps uncover the intricacies of an interconnected community. Barrett’s project Bolinas is an earnest look at a small, unincorporated and largely off-the-grid community in Northern California, resting precariously on the coast of the Pacific. Dirt roads with hand-painted signs mark the pathways between a notoriously reclusive population with a rich cultural and agricultural history dating back to the 1920s, with a flowering in the late 1960s after the Summer of Love. A collective effort to clean up after an oil spill brought the people of Bolinas together, and the desire to live an intrinsically shared existence with one another and closely to the land on their own terms is how they decided to stay. There are no longer any true communes in town but that same sharing mentality of perpetual exchange and engagement persists.
For The Ten, Barrett chose to curate a collection of images from within the larger Bolinas body of work. This “story within a story” focuses on the Murch family and Gospel Flats Farms. The Gospel Flats farm stand welcomes visitors to Bolinas and sets the mood for the entire community. A generational owned family stand which works exclusively on the honor system and provides the greater Bolinas community with bounties and arrays of vegetables, fruits, flowers and recently eggs. As long as the cycle of life continues and the land there grows, so will the legacy of the Murch family and their farm. For it is the land, the near religious connection to it, the need to take responsibility for it and give back to it, which inspires the entire community to choose to create this path in life.
The Barrett Ten provides a glimpse into the Bolinas community by focusing on one family’s connection to the land they inhabit and the neighbors that they support and who in turn support the farm.
The Ten is a project created by Jennifer Schwartz Gallery. Jennifer Schwartz Gallery is located at 1000 Marietta Street, Suite 112, Atlanta, GA 30318. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11 A.M. to 5 P.M. and by appointment.
