CCC Announces Art Exhibit “Work Spaces”

The Clatsop Community College Royal Nebeker Art Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of the exhibit entitled Work Spaces featuring over 100 photographs by Astoria-based artist Michael Mathers.  The show will run from October 28^th through November 27^th, with a reception scheduled for Thursday, November 7th at 6:00 p.m. The gallery reception and exhibit are free and open to the public. 

In his last year at Harvard, Michael discovered photography. He began to document the things he did, like sheep herding, riding the rails, circus life and traveling the country taking pictures of people he found interesting. Some of these projects made it into books.

After settling down, he became an architectural photographer and eventually he and his wife moved to Svensen, where he could row in the early morning hours. Soon he began to document the life of the river, going back to his roots, documenting the things he did.

After a final move to Astoria he has taken pictures of City Workers and the Views from Astoria Windows. He made a short movie of the Sunday Market and the Music Festival and most recently documented a year of the Columbia from his motor boat.

Of this exhibit Michael says, “This show is the result of two years of knocking on doors of different kinds of work spaces. Everyone photographed got a print in exchange for a referral to another work space. Once the project was underway I would show samples to a prospective subject and offer a free meal anywhere in Astoria if he or she could identify

60% of the spaces. No one could, which says so much about the unusual makeup of this historic town at the mouth of the Columbia. This is my thanks for the privilege to be part of this community.”

The CCC Royal Nebeker Gallery is  ADA accessible and is located at 1799 Lexington Avenue in Astoria. The gallery hours are from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on weekends and holidays by appointment only. For more information, please contact Kristin Shauck at 503-338-2472.
