Join The HSCC, artist Johnny Nguyen of Songs of the Green Bird
and our sponsor MainStreet Oceanside, for a Pop-up ART Workshop inside the
Oceanside Farmers Market & Sunset Market on January 2, 2014 for Part I:
EDUCATE of the Supper Club Artist Project. ...
Learn
alongside your community as Nguyen shows how to approach photography with a
journalistic eye inside the market, then explore and take photographs of your
own. Instant-use cameras provided.
The workshop will involve
direct communication with local buyers and members of the Oceanside community.
Using Nguyen as a guide and inspiration, participants will be invited to use
their own cameras (mobile phone, ipad etc) or one of several disposable film
cameras available at HSCC booth located in Downtown Oceanside Farmers Market.
Participants will then be prompted to spend some time exploring and
photographing their own local market. Guests will be given instructions on how
to use the camera as well as a few tips and tricks from the artist himself on
how to photograph using a street photography/photojournalism technique. The intention of this
workshop is to provide a unique experience for our Oceanside community, access
to local art and introduce a new or perhaps unfamiliar technique. The HSCC will
encourage an appreciation and understanding of the dying art form of print
photography.
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC: FREE & FOR ALL
AGES.

9:00 AM –
1:00 PM inside the Farmers Market

Introducing The Hill Street Country
Club’s inaugural Supper Club Artist Project; a three-part series providing
community education & involvement in the Arts.
EDUCATE • APPRECIATE •
CELEBRATE
Take in art at the Opening Reception for Songs of the Green
Bird by Johnny Nguyen, PART II: APPRECIATE of the Supper Club Artist Project, on
Saturday, January 18, 2014 from 6:00 pm-10:00 pm at The Hill Street Country Club
Gallery inside Artists Alley. Songs of the Green Bird features a collection of
photojournalistic ...works taken by Nguyen inside a marketplace in
Vietnam.
Nguyen’s photographic work stems from an interest in
photojournalism and meshes with fine art through the use of film and darkroom
processes. In Songs of the Green Bird, Nguyen exhibits a photographic series
documenting a small, open-air marketplace supported by its surrounding
community. This market named “Cho Chim Xanh,” (translated to English as The
Green Bird Market) and other markets such as this, are prevalent throughout the
country of Vietnam. Not only do these markets supply the local population with
fresh meats, fruits and vegetables, this communal environment provides a
framework of stability for their respective neighborhoods by offering a central
venue for its citizens to converge and dialogue.
Nguyen embedded himself
within the community circles of The Green Bird Market to photograph these
intimate, photojournalistic, street-style portraits of the lives that give the
market its heartbeat. He hopes that this series of 16 classical, black and white
gelatin silver prints encourages the audience to appreciate the human value of
local markets, and to compare and contrast between the market culture observed
here in America and elsewhere throughout the world.
Alongside the Opening
Reception of Songs of the Green Bird by Johnny Nguyen, photographs taken by the
Oceanside community from the Jan. 2nd Pop-up ART Workshop inside the Oceanside
Farmers & Sunset Market will be on display.
