Tethered at the Spine: Photobook Exhibition at Blue Sky Gallery

Tethered at the Spine is a photography exhibition highlighting a collection of 23 unique photobooks, each made by a student in ART 360: Special Topics in Photography at Portland State University. The artists used a variety of photographic media, as well as a mixture of hand-made and digital printing techniques. These works are extensions of the artists, made using the form of a book to investigate what it means to bring images back from the digital landscape into the material. The opening reception is part of First Thursday at Blue Sky Gallery.

On view June 5-28, 2025

Opening reception June 5, 2025, 5:00-9:00 pm
