Byron Brauchli: River of Life - Roaming the Rio Grande

August 28 - October 09,2021

From the Flatbed Center for Contemporary Printmaking: "Announcing an exhibition of new work by Byron Brauchli titled Rios de Vida (Rivers of Life). This exhibition and Brauchli’s soon-to-be-released book with the same title are the fruits of a photographic project that has occupied the view and lens of Brauchli over the last years. Brauchli deployed multiple techniques in his investigation including photogravure, cyanotype, platinotype, and more. His images are drawn from the Rio Grande River from its source in Colorado to its finish at the Gulf of Mexico. His lens captures images warning us of the contradictory processes of modernity and its impact on natural and social environments. Brauchli (Boulder, Co. 1960) specializes in Mexican-American visual studies and Nineteenth-Century photographic processes. He holds an M.F.A. from the University of Texas at Austin. He has taught at such institutions as the University ofTexas at Austin, Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City, among others. Currently, he is a researcher at the Institute of Arts at the University of Veracruz. His current project, Rios de Vida, is on exhibit at multiple venues around Mexico, the USA, and Spain. Call Flatbed Center for Contemporary Printmaking for more information. The gallery is open Wendesday through Friday 10 until 5 pm and Saturdays from noon until 5 pm."
