Hidden in Plain Sight II: Unexpected Views of Gilcrease Museum

Exhibition Website

May 1 2018 - Dec 31 2018

During the first weekend of November, 2017, twelve Tulsa-area photographers participated in a masterclass with David Halpern.

The ultimate objective of the class was to help these already skilled photographers reduce the distractions and chaos that 21st century digital technology often presents, and to focus on making stronger, more compelling images. This exhibition, Hidden in Plain Sight II: Unexpected Views of Gilcrease Museum, is the result of those two days of classroom discussions, extensive fieldwork on the grounds of Gilcrease Museum, and of lessons learned.

Taking advantage of the weekend’s beautiful fall weather, brilliant colors and captivating light conditions, the class participants found new and unanticipated ways to utilize their cameras to more effectively express their creativity. The works presented in Hidden in Plain Sight II make obvious that photography, regardless of technology, is about bringing light to thoughtful compositions to create moving and inspirational art. With their unexpected views of what might otherwise have gone unnoticed, these photographers did exactly that.
