Berkeley artist bringing "Things That Look Like Art" exhibit to Dominican University

Bay Area photographer Victor Landweber will present “Things That Look Like Art,” a free exhibition featuring Landweber's photographs to be shown September 5 through October 25 in San Marco Gallery in Dominican University of California’s Alemany Library, 185 Palm Avenue, San Rafael.

There will be an Opening Reception for “Things That Look Like Art” at Alemany Library from 6-8 p.m. on September 12 and an Artist's Talk at the library on September 23 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

The exhibition will include three sets of works: Photographs That Look Like Art, Photographs of Art, and Photographs of Things That Look Like Art. Landweber says that these projects address his perception about art and its representation in a photograph. Landweber’s work has been exhibited in more than two dozen one-person shows and numerous group exhibitions. His photographs are in more than 80 public collections including San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, Norton Simon Museum and Oakland Museum of California.

Born in Washington, D.C., Landweber now lives in Berkeley. His photographs are available from Steven Wolf Fine Arts, San Francisco.
