ASTORIA — LightBox
Photographic Gallery will
hold a second reception for
the exhibit “Remnants” from
5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8.
An exhibit of photographic
art made using historical
processes, “Remnants”
opened Sept. 10 and has
been extended until Nov. 5.
As photography moves
forward in the 21st century
and advances with modern
technology, some artists
have intentionally chosen
to return to the roots of
photography, incorporating
antiquarian processes to
further their artistic expres-
sion. “Remnants” includes
the work of 45 photogra-
phers with 72 pieces, using
over 20 different historical
alternative photographic
processes. Eighteen college
professors of alternative
photographic processes from
around the world have work
featured in the show.
Jurors Kaden Kratzer and
Nadezda Nikalova-Kratzer
are modern day alchemists
practicing heliograph pro-
cesses of the 19th century
and the handcrafting of im-
age-objects. They live in the
Bay Area of California.
“For ‘Remnants,’ we
wished to put together an ex-
hibition that showcases the
experimental and innovative

possibilities in antiquarian
photography, while placing
an emphasis on the craft-
ing of the physical object,”
Kratzer said.
“The artists in this
exhibition have each made
a deliberate choice to step
into the obscure and exciting
world of analog photogra-
phy in pursuit of their own
artistic vision. A vision that
is distinctly contemporary
and avant-garde even as it
revisits the past. A vision
that rises above process (for
process sake): Where the
artist integrates historic tech-
nology into the narrative and
uses it to shape the experi-
ence of the viewer.
“It is evident that artists
featured in this exhibit know
their craft. The investments
in time and the appreciation
for the handmade photo-
graph are palpable in each
image,” Kratzer continued.
“These artists are also eager
to experiment in order to
construct a personal vo-
cabulary from a palette of
artifacts, as a painter might.
Each unique art piece em-
bodies the tension between
chance and control, entropy
and order – as if relecting
on the very nature of life.”
LightBox directors Mi-
chael and Chelsea Granger
have held over this exhibit
in order to allow more from
Astoria and the Northwest to
see the show.
“When juror Kaden
Kratzer told me that this
show would never be able
to happen in New York
or San Francisco, that the
independence and focus
of our gallery allowed us
to conceive and host the
‘Remnants’ exhibit, and
that he had never seen such
a broad and technically
proicient show of alterna-
tive photography, I knew
that we needed to extend
this show and allow more
people to see this work,”
Michael Granger said. “We
hope that the community
will take that opportunity
and come in to see this
amazing exhibit.”
