The opening for June Gloom - Memories from the Past, at the Porter Butts Gallery at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, on June 4th went very well. The exhibit took two full days to install. There are 172 postcards individually hanging from the ceiling of the gallery. Visitors walk through the aisles to view the fronts of the images. All were photographed between May and October of 2009 along the coastline of Southern California. They can then read the back of each card, which contains memories from growing up on the beaches of Southern California.

Dave Barton, of OC Weekly wrote about Gina's work in the Laguna Art Museum: "The Pack Rat and Lives Lived In Cubes, Gina Genis' voyeuristic photos of isolated senior citizens seen through their kitchen and balcony windows, are at once chillingly immediate and distancing, forcing us to acknowledge the subjects’ solitude."

Gina has been juried in to the show "Revisiting Beauty" by Peter Frank, Senior Curator of the Riverside Museum. Its a mixed media piece involving a photo of a dead baby bird, beautiful hand made paper, twigs, leaves, and feathers. The exhibit will take place at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art from May 1-29, 2010. Opening reception is May 1 from 6-10 pm.

Work from Gina's June Gloom series will be on display at Gallery SKART in conjunction with Month of Photography LA. Stop in between April 3-27 to see the group exhibit that will include members of Group 09. Location: 2324 Michigan Ave
Santa Monica, CA 90404
