“Richard Ross Photography: Gathering Light”



SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA.- The Santa Barbara Museum of Art presents today “Richard Ross Photography: Gathering Light,” on view through September 28. From the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu to remote 12th-century pagodas in Myanmar, the photographer has gone in search of that transforming moment that envelopes time, space, and object. Ross takes the viewer to temples and tombs, ruins and churches, casinos and movie sets, and in each setting—sacred or profane—he photographs without artificial illumination.



Communicating a profound and expansive silence, these images of places seen are engrained with the past, with the traces and scars that form the memory of history. It is this history within a history that gives Ross’ images their particular resonance.



Gathering Light, one part of a three-part exhibition, is organized by the Speed Museum, Louisville, Kentucky. It is presented in collaboration with the Contemporary Arts Forum in Santa Barbara, whose exhibitions Fovea and Leelacyd are on view concurrently.



The exhibitions at both institutions and related events have been made possible through the generosity of Jill and John C. Bishop, Jr.
