Published by Datz Press, Chris McCaw: Marking Time reflects work the artist has made with solarized paper negatives in the last ten years, with beautifully reproduced images from his Sunburn, Heliograph, Poly-optics, and Tidal series. |

Chris McCaw's artistic practice is firmly rooted in the history of photography while pushing the medium in new directions. The lenses in his handmade cameras function as magnifying glasses, allowing the sun to literally burn its path across the light-sensitive negatives that are often solarized in the process. His work is held in the collections of the Berkeley Art Museum, CA; Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, CA; George Eastman Museum, Rochester, NY; Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Philadelphia Museum of Art, PA; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC; Victoria and Albert Museum, London, UK; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY, among many others.
Maggie Dethloff serves as Assistant Curator of Photography and New Media at the Cantor Arts Center. With a focus on 20th and 21st century American photography, her research is concerned with ways photography and digital media reflect and shape contemporary life. Maggie is deeply invested in exploring questions about photographic materials and techniques, approaching them from historical, theoretical, and practical perspectives. Most recently, Maggie curated the exhibitions Más Allá | Beyond Here: The Judy and Sidney Zuber Collection of Latin American Photography; A Change of Scenery: Photographs of Leisure in the Landscape; and At Home/On Stage: Asian American Representation in Photography and Film at the Cantor. |
