First Friday May 1: Galen Rowell Retrospective!

On Friday, May 1, 2009, the G2 Gallery celebrates the life of renowned adventure photographer Galen Rowell. Galen Avery Rowell’s oeuvre blurs the lines between art, photojournalism, and personal record. His passion for mountain ranges and vertical spaces inspired ascents that resulted in a body of work rooted in beauty and self-discovery as much as his desire to share knowledge of rare and compromised places with the world.

Live music by cellist Hope Easton.

6 PM - 9 PM
1503 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA

April/May Exhibit: Galen Rowell "Retrospective"

Known as a prolific writer and adventurer, Galen Rowell's emergence as an internationally recognized photographer is marked by his first appearance in National Geographic in 1974. In the years to follow, Galen would make numerous contributions to the publication, as well as publishing 18 books of his own. His works document his travels, offering keen insight into the societal and environmental impact being wrought on people and lands around the globe. In 2002 Galen's life was cut short when a private plane carrying him, his wife Barbara, and two friends crashed near the town of Bishop, where the Rowells made their home.
