The Nocturnes: 20 / Ten December 2010

Welcome to our sixth biennial celebration of the original exhibition from which this show (and the Web site) takes it name: The Nocturnes - now closing out our Nineteenth Year! Installed at Gallery Sanchez, in San Francisco in 1991, that critically-acclaimed show brought together TEN intrepid San Francisco Bay Area Night Photographers, to show 50-plus pieces, and was curated by our own Tim Baskerville! It is in the spirit of that original show - a spirit of discovery, experimentation, and mystery - that we initiated these biennial shows, and indeed, the Web site itself!

This show introduces a little diferent format than seen in our previous biennials, in that the final selections by the Jurors was limited to Twenty pieces by Ten artists - "Twenty/Ten" - two (2) pieces by each artist. We think this made for a "tighter" presentation of mysterious, riveting nocturnal imagery. We hope you enjoy it!

Also, be sure to visit The Nocturnes Blog and let us know what you think of this exhibition. We will be posting an annnouncement for the show there in the next few
days - feel free to comment!
