Works by John Opera will be on view at the Renaissance Society in Chicago as part of the group exhibition 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘳, opening tomorrow, Saturday, May 2nd from 4–7PM, with a curator talk at 4PM.⁠

𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘳 is a group exhibition about watching the sky, something that is deceptively simple at first. It unfolds in two parts, featuring twenty-eight artists. As it reflects on different forms of observation in everyday life and in a scientific register, the exhibition gradually spills over into a sense of life that is more layered and complex. Part 1 introduces certain celestial rhythms and cycles, and it draws out experiences of time. Part 2 brings into view evolving relationships with technology and militarization of the skies. It turns out there is a lot at stake in the space above us. Visit the Ren's website for details on the exhibition's public program, which includes an exhibition walk-through, workshop, and performances.⁠

𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘳 Part 1: May 2 – June 7, 2026⁠
𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘳 Part 2: June 10–July 12, 2026⁠

Returning to some unfinished work from 2014, made using a telescopic camera obscura lens.

Part of Palomar, a two-part group exhibition this summer at the Renaissance Society. The title references both an observatory on a California mountaintop and Italo Calvino’s Mr. Palomar—“a seeker of the cosmic in the everyday who shares his name with that place.”

May 2–June 7 and June 10–July 12.

We are pleased to announce that John Opera, Solar Eye, 2024-2025 has entered the collection of the Burchfield Penney Art Center!

Originally exhibited in Opera’s exhibition When the Sun is Done this January, the exhibition meditated on the threshold between visibility and vanishing, drawing inspiration from philosopher Jean-François Lyotard’s notion of “solar collapse”—the eventual dissolution of the sun’s energy and the cosmic shifts that follow. At the heart of the exhibition were montaged images of diffraction patterns, captured through custom-built photographic apparatus, shot on film, and printed using the gum bichromate process on canvas. This method imparts a painterly tactility and material presence to each image. These intricate visual fields, formed as light interacts with physical obstacles, suggest a universe in flux. Stop by to grab a copy of the exhibition catalogue, which features an essay by Nancy Weekly, leading authority on Charles E. Burchfield, and curator at the Burchfield Penney Art Center here in Buffalo, NY. Congratulations John!

비밀리에 인스타그램 스토리 보기

인스타그램 스토리 뷰어는 인스타그램 스토리, 비디오, 사진 또는 IGTV를 비밀리에 보고 저장할 수 있는 간단한 도구입니다. 이 서비스를 통해 콘텐츠를 다운로드하고 언제든지 오프라인으로 즐길 수 있습니다. 인스타그램에서 나중에 확인하고 싶은 흥미로운 콘텐츠를 찾거나 익명으로 스토리를 보고 싶다면, 우리 뷰어가 적합합니다. Anonstories는 신원을 숨길 수 있는 훌륭한 솔루션을 제공합니다. 인스타그램은 2023년 8월에 스토리 기능을 출시했으며, 이 기능은 흥미롭고 시간에 민감한 형식으로 빠르게 다른 플랫폼에 채택되었습니다. 스토리는 사용자가 텍스트, 이모지 또는 필터로 보강된 사진, 비디오 또는 셀카를 공유할 수 있게 해주며, 24시간 동안만 표시됩니다. 이 제한된 시간 동안 높은 참여를 유도하며 일반 게시물보다 더 많은 반응을 얻을 수 있습니다. 오늘날 스토리는 소셜 미디어에서 연결하고 소통하는 가장 인기 있는 방법 중 하나입니다. 그러나 스토리를 볼 때, 제작자는 자신의 뷰어 목록에서 당신의 이름을 볼 수 있으며, 이는 개인 정보 보호에 대한 우려를 일으킬 수 있습니다. 만약 스토리를 아무도 모르게 탐색하고 싶다면? 그때 Anonstories가 유용해집니다. 이 도구는 신원을 드러내지 않고 공개된 인스타그램 콘텐츠를 볼 수 있게 해줍니다. 관심 있는 프로필의 사용자명을 입력하면 해당 프로필의 최신 스토리를 확인할 수 있습니다. Anonstories 뷰어의 특징: - 익명 브라우징: 뷰어 목록에 나타나지 않고 스토리를 볼 수 있습니다. - 계정 필요 없음: 인스타그램 계정에 가입하지 않고 공개 콘텐츠를 볼 수 있습니다. - 콘텐츠 다운로드: 스토리 콘텐츠를 직접 다운로드하여 오프라인에서 사용할 수 있습니다. - 하이라이트 보기: 24시간 제한을 넘어서 인스타그램 하이라이트를 볼 수 있습니다. - 리포스트 모니터링: 개인 프로필의 스토리 리포스트나 참여도를 추적할 수 있습니다. 제한 사항: - 이 도구는 공개 계정에서만 작동하며, 개인 계정은 접근할 수 없습니다. 장점: - 개인 정보 보호 친화적: 인스타그램 콘텐츠를 보면서도 눈에 띄지 않습니다. - 간단하고 쉬움: 앱 설치나 등록이 필요 없습니다. - 독점 도구: 인스타그램에서 제공하지 않는 방식으로 콘텐츠를 다운로드하고 관리할 수 있습니다.
