This Friday! Outer Sunset Exhibition Opening
Richard Sexton
Outer Sunset 1977 -1978
Join us and photographer Richard Sexton on Friday, May 30th from 7-9pm at Black Bird Bookstore and Café & The Last Straw Gallery for the opening reception of OUTER SUNSET 1977-1978. The evening will include an artist talk moderated by Nora Lalle & Western Neighborhoods Project.
This historic work was Sexton’s first serious color photography project while studying at the San Francisco Art Institute in the late 1970s. Shot on Kodachrome and Ektachrome color transparency film with a Leica M4 camera, Sexton captures one of San Francisco’s most beloved Western neighborhoods at a very unique moment in time.
The exhibition will be on view at both Black Bird & The Last Straw Gallery across the street from May 27th - July 7th. This is the first time the images have been presented publicly since a brief mini exhibition at the Ciné Cafe at the Surf Theater in 1979. This is an incredible opportunity to remember the neighborhood as it was, or experience the Sunset as you’ve never seen it before.
