JUROR MARK CHAMBERLAIN
In 1973, Mark Chamberlain co-founded and still operates BC Space Gallery & Photographic Art Services.
For over 35 years, Mark Chamberlain has used photography and other art vehicles for social and political commentary. Artist, author, educator, ardent environmentalist, and self-proclaimed arteologist, his work has brought widespread attention to regional issues and global concerns. Most notable was The Tell, a collaborative non-profit public art project in Laguna Canyon in 1989. This 636-foot-long photographic mural, created with art partner Jerry Burchfield, served as the focal point and catalyst for the defense of the canyon and ultimately drew thousands of people to the Laguna Canyon site, national attention to the issues, and facilitated the public purchase of that land for preservation.
Other work includes Dubuque Passages, an intimate b/w documentary of Chamberlain’s hometown region created over a 10 year period; Future Fossils, a similar endeavor in larger scale color incorporating images collected in California over another 25 year plus period; and Looking for 2001, an ongoing companion color series of photographic images reflecting on our evolution into the 21st Century. Current activities include the long-term documentation of the El Toro Marine Base as it undergoes the transition from military air base to regional park and an ongoing video & still documentation of the Mississippi River and its byways, and a video history of the Artist Elders of Laguna Beach.
Along with an extensive exhibition record, Mark Chamberlain’s work is included in numerous public & private collections, including the Laguna Art Museum, Orange County Museum of Art, the University of Dubuque, the Polaroid Collection, and the Cincinnati Museum of Art.
BC exhibitions include the controversial & highly acclaimed Pretty Lies/Dirty Truth show, which addressed issues of war & peace in our time; My Father’s Party is Busted!; Banned & Barred which dealt with the practice of censorship in art; Water Works, addressing concerns of water use, misuse, and abuse; and Urbanscapes, a lyrical depiction of man’s impact and legacy on our planet.
