"Recent Acquisitions"
Through January 7, 2007
Comprising about three quarters of a million photographic items, The UCR Museum's collection is the most comprehensive in the Western States. Acquisitions that were donated in 2005/2006 are on view within the Underground Gallery. The eclectic mix of objects goes far beyond simple 2-dimensional photographs—take, for example, an Ansel Adams panoramic photograph printed on a Hills Bros. coffee can, or a Zeiss Stereo-Telemeter that was used by German naval artillery in World War II. “Recent Acquisitions” is an opportunity for visitors to experience some of the bounty before it is tagged, bagged, and permanently sheltered in the museum's storage rooms.

"Ruby Satellite"
Through January 7, 2007
Inspired by the bizarre real-life case of Russell Eugene Weston Jr., who in 1998 stormed the U.S. Capital building in search of the Ruby Satellite (what he percieved as an all-powerful device capable of destroying an alien disease), killing 2 police officers. "Ruby Satellite" brings together a group of national and international artists who examine the complicated drives of the paranoid mind in a mixed presentation of photography, video, and installation works.

"Samurai"
Mark Stockton and Edgar Endress
Through January 7, 2007
A collaborative project by Chilean artist Edgar Endress and U.S. artist Mark Stockton, "Samurai" comprises a series of large-scale anaglyphs—stereo photographs printed in different colors, viewed through a chromatic lens, or 3-D glasses. The images depict members of a Japanese animation club in Trenton, New Jersey. Inspired by Japanese anime and culture, and dressed in costumes of their own design, the participants role-play and act out mini-dramas.
