  Bio
  Glen Scheffer uses the language of photography to describe the world around him. Whether using the studio to create photographs linking science and art or photographing indirect social connections made within the landscape, Glen strives to make art that will stir conversation about how we interact with each other and the world. Glen uses large- and medium-format cameras to construct his interpretations and cultivate his vision. Glen’s work is finished through the darkroom as gelati silver prints, digitally as large archival pigment prints, as well as published books. Glen has exhibited his work regularly locally and nationally. Most recently, his work was part of a traveling exhibition of film-based artists. The work traveled to the Polygon Gallery in North Vancouver, Canada; SF Camerawork in San Francisco; and The Reference Gallery in Seoul, South Korea. Glen’s work is also part of Everything Is Narrative, a publication of landscape photographers. The book is an anthology of contemporary photography exploring the open-ended nature of photographic storytelling. Showcasing images from 162 artists, this book was published in the spring of 2021.

  Bio
  Born in Jerusalem, Israel, Yoav Horesh’s photographs have been concerned with the intersection of memory, history, conflict, ethnicity and multiculturalism. Using large- and medium-format cameras, his work, research, and projects have taken him to the American Southwest, Germany, Laos, Israel, the Gaza Strip, Bolivia, Vietnam, Mongolia, Cambodia, and more—places where history still shapes and influences current events and daily life.

  Horesh has exhibited his photographs in museums and galleries internationally, including at The Israel Museum, The DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Gallery Kayafas, and Erarta Museum of Contemporary Art in Saint Petersburg, Russia. His second monograph “Aftermath” was published by SPQR Editions in 2016 and followed with exhibitions in Israel and the United States. His photographs have been featured by Amnesty International and publications including The Atlantic, The Boston Globe, and The Wall Street Journal. Horesh’s work is in the permanent collections of The Addison Gallery for American Art, The Museum of New Art, Fitchburg Art Museum, and the Ashdod Museum of Art.

  He has received awards, commissions, and grants, including the Agnes Martin Award, Projektraum-Bahnhof25 Residency Award, HAWAPI, and the Mortimer Frank Grant.

  Since 2005, Horesh has taught in universities and colleges in the United States, Hong Kong, and Israel.
