Artist Reception: Saturday, January 16, 6-8 PM

Electric Works proudly welcomes Jim Haynes into the project room, presenting "Another Short History of Decay." Each image in the exhibition is a corroded photograph that begins its life as a silver gelatin print and acquires its bruised surface through a series of chemical reactions that embed stains into the surface of the print. At times, Haynes obliterates the photographic image through this process; and at others, he allows the imagery of those photographs to creep back through the network of residual markings.

Jim Haynes (b. 1972) lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area. Recent solo exhibitions have been hosted by The Lab in San Francisco and Jack Straw Productions in Seattle. Haynes' work also includes composition and performance through which he has collaborated with Steven Stapleton, Loren Chasse, Keith Evans, and M.S. Waldron. His recordings have been published by The Helen Scarsdale Agency, Intransitive Recordings, Elevator Bath, and Seal Pool. He is the Vice President of 23five Incorporated, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development and increased awareness of sound arts within the public arena.
