Exhibition Tour: Folklore by Jesse Rieser

Join us for the opportunity of a private tour and gallery talk from Internationally recognized fine art photographer, Jesse Rieser on his solo exhibition at Bentley Gallery. Jesse will be giving AZPA member’s a tour and discussion of the 28 Folklore photographs featured in his upcoming monograph published by PowerHouse Books. In addition, member’s will also be given a preview of a selection of works from Rieser’s collection,

In Jesse’s words, “By definition, hypnosis is the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction. These longterm works are the transmissions of a citizen who seems comfortable sitting with the knowledge that he is as excited by his home as he is alarmed by it.”

This is a limited event of 25 members and is free.
