Melinda Dahl ~ “Josephine”

Melinda_Dahl_POVevolving_WEB

POVevolving Gallery & Print Studio is very happy to announce our upcoming exhibition opening this Saturday, May 8th ~ from 6 – 10 pm.

The event is the first multimedia fine art exhibit from DahlHouse Productions, the independent production company run by Melinda and her twin sister Caitlin. Together they fuse photography, music, and film to present Josephine as both a corporeal and pastoral figure, captured in the bare shoulders and elegiac expressions of Dahl’s models and the vivid landscapes that they confront.

Calling out from shadowy cliffs, crouched in forsaken gardens, and suspended atop a turbulent seashore, the women and the stories in Dahl’s work command more than one of the onlooker’s senses. Accompanying her photography will be the debut of “Josephine,” the song written by Melinda and performed by the twins’ other production, The Dahls – the band that’s had them packing clubs around Los Angeles for the past year. The track also features Rocco DeLuca and is engineered by famed producer Mark Howard (Lucinda Williams, Tom Waits, Marianne Faithful).

The highly anticipated music video for “Josephine,” directed by Caitlin Dahl, will also be debuted at the event.

Joe Mckay

We are happy to present ‘As Serious of Your Life Is’ – the first one person show by Los Angeles artist Joe Mckay. Joe creates wonderfully clever and thought provoking collages with a bare bones aesthetic that, in many cases, guides the viewer just enough to a point of departure… to a place where the viewer is left with a playful curiosity and a need to read between the lines… sometimes quietly serious, many times funny, this will prove to be quite a fun show.

In the project room of the gallery, we are very happy to present ‘Sleep to Dream’ – five beautiful photographs by Claire Sloan. The photos are from a series in which she takes 6 – 9 hour exposures of herself sleeping. Its an amazing series, all done on medium format film, printed with a lightjet and mounted on sintra. Currently studying at UC Davis, she began shooting photographs at 14 years old and is now pursuing a degree in art. This will be her first show in Los Angeles.
