Opening reception: Thursday\, Novemb er 5\, 6:30-9:00 p.m. Gallery walkthrough with the artists: Thursday\, Nov ember 5\, 6:30 p.m. On view November 06\, 2009 &ndash\; February 07\, 2010 .\nAustin-based photographers Anna Krachey\, Jessica Mallios\, and Adam Sc hreiber are fascinated by the transformations that occur when the visible world passes through the camera's lens. Capturing an image on film\, they believe\, is always an uncanny process because the photograph inevitably d iffers from what the artist perceived at the moment of its making. Using h ighly manipulable\, large-format box cameras and a wide range of architect ural\, technological\, and household subjects\, they create images that ac knowledge the mysterious slippages\, distortions\, and blendings of real a nd unreal inherent in photography. The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is pleased to present Perspectives 168: Anna Krachey\, Jessica Mallios\, and Adam Schreiber\, the first museum exhibition for these artists. \n\nKrach ey\, Mallios\, and Schreiber&mdash\;friends and colleagues who work indepe ndently but share interests and approaches&mdash\;are aware that\, because of the instantaneous nature of exposures and the architecture of cameras with origins in Renaissance camera obscuras\, all photographs distort appe arances as they record light reflected from three-dimensional objects on a flat surface. By employing unusual framing\, extreme close-ups\, and idio syncratic points of view\, the artists seek to remind us of the artificial \, enigmatic nature of photographic images. &ldquo\;We're more interested in how the medium of photography invents something than how it records som ething\,&rdquo\; says Schreiber. Subtle disturbances of perception and cog nition pervade the artists' work. Likening their images to mirages\, Krach ey\, Mallios\, and Schreiber make photographs that evoke heightened or est ranged versions of the visible world.\nAnna Krachey concentrates on her do mestic sphere\, making images of oddball objects she purchases on eBay or finds in ignored corners of her house and neighborhood. Creating a homespu n Surrealism\, Krachey's work is filled with arresting juxtapositions of p laces and things that suggest a personal hall of mirrors in which question s about intentionality and accident\, play and seriousness\, abound.\n\nJe ssica Mallios studies collisions of the natural and artificial. She record s architectural junctures where simulations of natural forms meet mundane industrial surfaces\, and where faux finishes designed to evoke emotional responses collide with cold functionalism. Mallios also stages tabletop ex periments that poetically replicate many of the dynamics of the process of making photographic images. \n\nAdam Schreiber draws much of his imagery and inspiration from the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the Un iversity of Texas at Austin\, a library and museum dedicated to the humani ties. There\, he has photographed cultural artifacts ranging from the firs t known photograph taken in 1826 to a variety of other industrial and hist orical oddities. \n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nAnna Krachey\, born in 1979 in Nas hua\, New Hampshire\, holds a B.S. in studio art from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs\, New York\, and an M.F.A. in studio art from The Univers ity of Texas at Austin.\n\nJessica Mallios was born in 1976 in Austin\, Te xas\, and graduated from Pratt Institute\, New York\, with a B.F.A. in pho tography and from Bard College\, Annandale on Hudson\, New York\, with an M.F.A. in photography.\n\nBorn in Milwaukee in 1976\, Adam Schreiber recei ved a B.F.A. from Colorado State University in Fort Collins\, and an M.F.A . from The University of Texas at Austin.\n\nKrachey\, Mallios\, and Schre iber have participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions at galleries and alternative spaces in Texas and the United States.
