Photographer and digital collage artist Paul Berger is the featured artist at Everett Community College’s Russell Day Gallery from March 31 to April 25.
The “Photographic Arenas” exhibit will feature a sampling of Berger’s work from the past 38 years.
“The format of my work from early on involved combining both photographic and non-photographic material,” Berger said in a statement from the college gallery. “These groupings of photographs with text or graphics — or other photographs — struck me as both straightforward and consistent with the way photographs both exist in the world and relate to it.”
A reception for the artist is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. April 3 in the gallery.
Berger, from Whidbey Island, retired in 2013 from the University of Washington’s School of Art, where he co-founded the photography program in 1978. Although trained in a classical photographic tradition, he has been primarily involved in digital manipulation of electronic images since the early 1980s and initiated a sequence of digital imaging classes in the UW photography curriculum beginning in 1985.
Berger has exhibited his photographic and digital artworks nationwide and in Europe. He had a retrospective exhibition, “Paul Berger: 1973-2003,” at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago.
His work has been reproduced in numerous publications.
The Russell Day Gallery at Everett Community College, 2000 Tower St., is open 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays, noon to 4 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays. It is closed Saturdays and Sundays.
