The one-person exhibition of works of Jack Sal’s non-camera photographic works/ Clichè-Verre from the 1970’s & 1980’s will open on Friday April 8, 2011 at Roonee Gallery 247 Photography in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo

These unique photographic prints, made from Sal’s own drawings on translucent papers and other supports are from Sal’s production that began in 1977 and includes works on printing-out-paper, which have a beautiful tonal scale, and rich color. Clichè-Verre, a Greek phrase meaning “glass picture” is a photographic technique in which the photographer draws onto a piece of glass or another transparent/translucent support. The drawing is placed onto a piece of light-sensitive paper and left it in the sun where the image is printed onto the paper. The photographic paper turns darker where light is able to pass through the hand made “negative” and color the photosensitive paper. During the mid 19th century, French landscape painter Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot made the Clichè-Verre a popular combination of art and photography.

Jack Sal was born in 1954 at Waterbury, Connecticut (USA) and lives and works between New York, Roma and Todi. A minimalist and conceptualist artist he began his artistic career with Clichè-Verre. The photographic vocabulary has remained a constant in his evolution as an artist. His first one person museum exhibition was at The Museum of Photography/George Eastman House in Rochester, New York in 1981, followed by many other institutions including Museum Ludwig in Cologne (1995). In 2006 he created White/Wash II, permanent monument for the victims of the pogrom of 1946 in Kielce (Poland), sponsored by The United States Commission for The Preservation of Americas Heritage Abroad. Among his most recent exhibitions: De/Portees (in collaboration with l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Osaka) Kyoto Museum for World Peace, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto – 2011 (one person exhibition); SoHo Art Gallery, Osaka – 2011 (one person exhibition); Steel/Particles, Edicola RaRa, Terlizzi (BA) – 2010 (one person exhibition); De/Portees, Istituto Italiano di Cultura, New York and Casa della Memoria e della Storia, Roma – 2010 (one person exhibition); Re/Vision, Zone:Contemporary Art, New York – 2009 (one person exhibition); The Edge of Vision, Aperture Foundation, New York – 2009; Jordan Festival Amman (Jordan) – 2009; Chiamata All'ARTE - Museo Villa Pignatelli, Napoli – 2009; An Austrian Walk/March, MIR/Museum im Rathuas, Gleisdorf (Austria) – 2009; Installazione Permanente/Permanent Installation Sala 1, Roma - 2009; East/West, Caffé Quadri, Venezia (performance 53.
