Here is the press release for our exciting new Gallery VCR located inside Village Coffe Roaster. Come check out some of Bills' great work and enjoy your favorite VCR drink!
For Immediate Release:
January 28, 2009
Who: Gallery VCR (New, inside Village Coffee Roaster)
What: Grand Opening Reception with Fine Art Photographer, Bill Tondreau
When: February 6, 2009, 5pm – 8-m
Where: 519 Central Ave. NW @ 6th St., Albuquerque, NM 87102
Gallery VCR, a “tasty” new art gallery, has opened at 519 Central Ave. NW, (6th St.) in Downtown Albuquerque. It’s located inside the Village Coffee Roaster (VCR), a gourmet coffee/espresso house fast becoming known for its delicious estate grown, micro roasts, French pastries, freshly made soups and deli-style sandwiches. Gallery VCR’s Grand Opening is being held in conjunction with the citywide Artscrawl on Friday, February 6th, from 5pm – 8pm. Gallery VCR joins a growing renaissance along Central Avenue’s “Gallery Row.” This downtown stretch of Route 66 is becoming an important art center.
The premier exhibit will feature the fine-art photography of Bill Tondreau. Bill’s unique images record Albuquerque landscapes in the classic tradition of panoramic photography. He seeks to allow New Mexico's special Encanto to shine through his images by presenting them as clearly as possible.
Each photograph is a composite of from 10 to several hundred individual exposures joined together to form a single, high-resolution image. In some cases various parts of the image are photographed at different times of day, compressing the daily narrative of a location into a single statement. The final result is a sprawling, richly detailed representation of a location that invokes the experience of being in the place. The viewer is invited to explore the multitude of objects and stories within the large-scale prints much as he would the original environment.
During the 60's and 70's Bill developed his photographic skills while working at the legendary design studio, The Office of Charles and Ray Eames. During his 10-year association with the Eames Office many of Bill's photographs were displayed in places such as the New York Metropolitan Museum, the Paris Louvre, and the British Museum.
Since 1978 Bill has been involved in the development of software, equipment, and techniques now widely used in feature films. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has honored him with three Academy Awards, most recently with an Oscar in 2004. The results of his film related work can be seen in hundreds of films ranging from the original "Star Wars" trilogy to the latest releases. Most recently Bill worked as a visual effects cameraman on the "Terminator Salvation" feature film shot here in Albuquerque.
