C.J. Pressma is one of our local greats. His photography is not a passive endeavor; even reading the long title of this show, “Dream Diaries: dreams I can never remember and the people who inhabit those dreams,” takes some work. “It is perhaps the most interesting [show] I have done,” he said. Pressma’s surrealistic style is recognizable — a flash of light exposing an otherwise darkened world. He calls the series “DreamScapes — Evidence & Inhabitants.” He asked several local artists to choose a photograph from the series and “to write their response as if they were waking up from a dream and writing it in a diary … a diary of the dreams I have never been able to remember.” The opening reception is Thursday, June 7 from 5-9 p.m. There will also be an artist talk on Saturday, June 9 at 11 a.m.
