The distinction we make about race must be some primal system that forgot to grow up. We’ve all heard ourselves at one time or another claim to be color blind and mean it and be both surprised and ashamed of our private thoughts about people who are not like us. In the last two years we’ve heard people say some of the most outrageous things about the President of the United States and his family and before taking a single proclaim “I am not a Racist”. I’ve wondered were our meanness comes from, what its purpose and when if ever will it end. It is painful to confront ourselves.

New at SAM / Seattle Museum of Art*:
“Everything Under the Sun: Photographs by Imogen Cunningham “ – until 8/29/10 
“Imogen Cunningham (1883–1976) was one of the most well-known photographers from the Northwest. Working at a time when women photographers were few, Cunningham dedicated her life to her art. Drawn entirely from the Seattle Art Museum’s permanent collection, this exhibition of 60 photographs from 1915 to 1973 reveal Cunningham’s inquisitive eye—from portraits of Frida Kahlo, Alfred Stieglitz and other well-known artists of her time to portraits of her husband on Mt. Rainier, considered some of the first known photographs to be published of a male nude taken by a female photographer (in 1916) and much more. Spanning the artist’s career, the photographs on view demonstrate the breadth and range of Cunningham’s artistic vision and showcase one of the strengths of SAM’s photography collection.” –Marisa Sánchez, Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has always supported the idea of Photography as art.
“SFMOMA was one of the first museums in the country to treat photography as an equal to painting and sculpture. In celebration of the museum’s 75 years of engagement with the medium, this exhibition explores the variety and vitality of California‘s photographic tradition from the 1840s to the present.”
