Christopher Rauschenberg about his show Sidewalk Storisechris r

On Tuesday, Feb. 20, at 11.30 a.m. Joseph Gallivan interviews photographer Christopher Rauschenberg about his show "Sidewalk Stories" which is on now at the Nine Gallery inside Blue Sky Gallery through March 2.

Rauschenberg talks about his travels in the quiet side roads of Japan, last October, his way of inviting the viewer to read a space, and why he prefers the workflow of digital photography and printing.

This show was recorded on an iPhone 14 with a Rode mic on Feb. 17 and edited by Joseph Gallivan.

FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: 

Sidewalk Stories - Japan

Nine Gallery was founded in 1987 by nine artists interested in working periodically outside the context of the commercial gallery. It is an artist-run cooperative and is administratively and financially independent from Blue Sky, funded solely by its members. Each member of Nine Gallery is in charge of the gallery for one month each year. Usually members show their own work, however, they are also welcome to curate shows of other artists’ work. Periodically the members of Nine Gallery, present work together in group exhibitions, and at other times they collectively invite other artists to show. Beyond the general interest in creating a largely non-commercial exhibition environment with a minimum of bureaucratic and institutional structure, the members of Nine Gallery have no collective ideological program or philosophy.

Nine Gallery shares the same hours as Blue Sky.

An exhibition of Sidewalk Stories - Japan will be presented in Nine Gallery in Portland from February 1 through March 2.

I have added two pages of 18 years of my photographs taken of store windows, Window Shopping, in conjuction with publishing a two volume 11 x 17" book of that work. I also have produced a two volume book of 18 years of my photographs made in museums, but I haven't updated the Museum page of this website quite yet to include those.

I've added a page of newer Studio Photographs, taken in artists' studios from 2013 to 2021, in conjunction with publishing an 11x17" catalog of that work. While I was at it, I updated Studio Photographs 1 and Studio Photographs 2 and Marché aux Puces and Hold and Turkey and Pushtogethers and Angkor to 11x17" format.

India pushtogethers was on display at Nine Gallery in Portland in June, 2021. I did an 11x17" book of this work too.

Looking at India was on display at Elizabeth Leach Gallery in Portland in January, 2021. (Viewing room) (interview)

As is true of all my work, none of the things in these images have been set up by me. Everything is photographed as I find it.

My Paris Changing book is now available in paperback.

There is an interview with me about my approach to photography here.

I’ve been a full-time artist photographer since 1973 and this website will eventually cover that whole time period.  So far I’ve done the 70's and the 21st Century. I'll get the 80's and 90's up sometime.

I am proud to be represented by Elizabeth Leach Gallery in Portland since 1985.

3500 images by 20 photographers from my Portland Grid Project were shown in April 2007 at the Portland Art Center and those and more can be seen at www.portlandgridproject.com

12x18” and 12x16” Archival inkjet prints of my non-panoramic images are $800, by the way, 22x33” prints are $2400 and 18x27” prints are $1600.  Panorama prices on request.  Email me if you’re interested.
