The Promega Fall Art Showcase will feature the rephotography
work of Mark Klett and Zane Williams. Kletts’ photographs focus
on the landscape of Western United States, including Yosemite
and San Francisco. Zanes’ photographs are Madison-based.
Re-photography involves reshooting scenes found in original or
historical photographs and comparing the images after time has
past. The show opens Tuesday, September 12, 2006 and continues
through November 30, 2006 at the Promega BioPharmaceutical
Technology Center in Madison. An art opening reception, Tuesday,
September 12 from 4:30pm - 6:30pm, is open to the public.
Mark Klett, a Regents’ Professor of Art at Arizona State
University in Tempe, has received three National Endowment for
the Arts fellowships. In the past 25 years of his photography
work he has published over 12 books including Third Views,
Yosemite in Time, and After the Ruins. His work has been
exhibited in museums and libraries in California and other
western states. Kletts’ photographs at the show include: “After
the Ruins, 1906 and 2006”, Yosemite in Time” and Third Views,
Second Sights”.
Zane Williams has photographed many Wisconsin historical
sites along with many farm scenes, including the USPS
Sesquicentennial postage stamp. Williams’ “Double Take: A
rephotographic Survey of Madison, Wisconsin” will be featured at
the Fall Art Showcase.
Promega Corporation has sponsored the artist’s showcase since
1996 as part of the company’s commitment to creativity and
innovation in the arts, cultures and sciences. The
Biopharmaceutical Technology Center, located on 5445 East Cheryl
Parkway two miles south of Highway 12/18 (Beltline) off Fish
Hatchery Road, was developed, in part, to provide Promega
employees and community members a place to pursue these goals.
The exhibit is open Monday – Friday 8 am - 4 pm from
September 12, 2006 through November 30, 2006. Daniel Swadener,
in conjunction with Promega, is the producer of the art exhibit.
