OAKTOWN OAKTOWN is a multiyear survey of the visual environment in transition or emergence, as generated by Oaklanders. Its scope ranges from expressive public or commercial ruins to cultivated private and personal grounds, and from the intentionally avoided to the indifferently unnoticed. It favors the vernacular and rejects the judgmental. ​ ​ ​ ​ In an ongoing re-envisioning of Oakland, Ryder appropriates the aesthetics of ephemeral landscapes to create unique images of sites before they are gone. ​ ​ May 2023 Adeline Graffiti Palace SHOW CATALOG >> See the show online here

Now, and Again - it is said that history may not repeat itself, but it rhymes. California, Tennessee, and other locales are stricken again with the terror of ethnic hate crimes, both systemic and personal. In light of these atrocities, forgetting the past is not tolerable. This gallery of visually documented resistance to being ignored or forgotten is dedicated to not letting the summer of BLM disappear along with the loss of its extraordinary street art installations from their places in downtown OAKTOWN.

THE SEASON FOR HEARTS OAKTOWN POSTCARDS & NOTECARDS THEMED EDITION NOTECARDS: ​ Individual cards highlight “alt-Oakland”—a place as unseen as Oaklanders themselves. They feature the vernacular of the town’s inhabitants, as opposed to the commonplace images of the media, or of civic institutions or business districts. The urban landscapes are at once emerging and short-lived, morphing and metaphorical, ephemeral and poignant. The pictures also hold those manmade artifacts in rigorous compositions with a high priority on color. Each 6-card pack of 5.5-inch by 4.2-inch notecards includes four or more images in a theme. Individual images are also available in bulk quantity as a print-to-order request. Holiday Series: Be Mine SHOP For those who love Love, but rue the hallmarkization of February 14, Malcolm Ryder has come up with unsappy Valentine’s Day cards. Each image was found and framed by the Oakland photographer on the byways of the East Bay. Romance with a touch of grit, passion leavened by wit, hearts rendered not in lace but in metal and paint.

ABOUT MALCOLM RYDER BIOGRAPHY Virginia native Ryder came to Oakland, CA, by way of Norfolk, Atlanta, New York, Washington DC, and San Francisco. He was born into a family of activist artists and university professors. After becoming one of the first Black graduates of the elite Westminster Schools in Atlanta, he pioneered and completed a new degree of his own design in Visual Arts at Princeton, becoming one of its first photography graduates. Beginning in the mid-1970s, he co-founded a student-run theater at Princeton, exhibited as a member of the City Without Walls artists' collective in Newark, then later he developed and ran the jurying system used for making grants directly to visual artists by the National Endowment for the Arts, the NY State Council on the Arts, and the NY Foundation for the Arts. In the SF/East Bay Area he joined boards for the Julia Morgan Arts Center and the Center for Critical Architecture. PRACTICE Ryder had first photographed extensively in the performing arts and sports, while also doing work for designers, documentarians, and marketers. He left this conventional professional activity however, to do tech and strategy consulting, augmented by advisory or board positions with arts organizations, for over 25 years. In 2016 he resumed steady practice as a photographer. When not photographing, he works with other artists primarily in a curatorial or editorial mode, or in collaborative projects fusing camerawork with other vehicles ranging from digital magazines, books, or galleries, to multimedia performances. ​ His current audience and co-creators include historians, journalists, other visual artists and curators, and the communities of the landscapes seen in his photographs.
