In addition to student exhibitions, significant contemporary and historical photography is shown at Northlight Gallery. Entry to all Northlight Gallery exhibitions is free and open to the public.

Northlight Gallery is located in Matthews Hall, at the southeast corner of Tyler and Forest malls on ASU’s main campus in Tempe. Gallery hours are Monday from 7-9 p.m., and Tuesday – Thursday from 10:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Northlight Gallery’s exhibition schedule for spring 2004 follows.

Identity
Feb. 2-29, 2004
Reception: 7-9 p.m., Feb. 9 
Identity is a group exhibition of photographs exploring issues of identity. The show will include a giant-sized pinhole camera for which gallery patrons can sign up for one-hour-long sittings and a spectrum of photo-based processes including straight black and white, digital, nonsilver and sculptural works.

Water
March 8 – April 13, 2004
Reception: 7-9 p.m., March 8 
An exhibition of photographs by Steven Benson, David Taylor and William Wylie, whose works deal with issues related to water, its use and conservation, and our experience of it. Benson’s photographs address the building of the Three Gorges Dam in the Yangtze River Valley. In Wylie's luminous works – which use straight black and white photography – the play of light and shadow on the surface of the water seduces the eye of the viewer. Taylor's photographic constructions masterfully combine aerial photography, personal imagery and public documentary photographs.
