Art Intersection

Art Intersection is a gallery/workshop space that opened in Gilbert last January. It's primary focus is on photography, but it also offers a variety of workshops dealing with book making, paper punching, and similar techniques. They have a large workspace, equipped with darkrooms for both film processing, digital processing, and alternative processing. I visited last week to attend a lecture hosted by Jim Hajicek, a retired ASU photography professor who is well known in the photography community. The lecture was a "walk through" style, where the attendees followed Jim through out the three galleries located at Art Intersection, as Jim explained how each photograph was made. There was a variety of techniques exhibited, including salt prints, tin types, ambrotypes, silver gelatin, and photogravures. It was incredibly interesting listening to how each process is different from the other. I would highly recommend checking this great location out, as it is growing fast and becoming a great source to learn everything there is to know about photography, including how to incorporate it into a three dimensional piece. The piece shown below is from a collection of tintypes made by David Adams, who is an ASU graduate student.
