Rerun: Book Review: Contact by Jake Shivery

Jake Shivery, Contact by George Slade

The camera salesman Mr. J. Shivery reveals his meditations on vision and community in this eloquent commingling of first-person text and second-person imagery. Contact, the book’s title, assumes both literal and metaphoric implications. Literal, in the sense of contact sheets: these pages reproduce 8x10 inch negatives, the photographer’s choice medium, at a 1:1 ratio. Metaphoric, in the extraordinary way in which his vision contacts spiritual essence that speaks of both individual and communal truths. Qualities of place and relationship flow between people, photographer, and final image.

Kindred: 4 day sale

“We came together to not only create an extraordinary exhibition, but also to be the very epitome of a movement that calls for artists to not only take full ownership of one's own creative life and career but also, to lift and support one another in doing so.

We feel changed by the experience of this collaboration and by those who have shared their sentiments about the installation, the individual works, and the connectedness of a vision seen to fruition.

We are grateful.”

—Tobia Makover, Dawn Surratt, Sal Taylor Kydd & Lori Vrba
