SUMMARY:Taylor Camp 1969-1977: A Photographic Exhibition by John Wehrh
 eim
DESCRIPTION:\n\n“IMPRESSIVE! The photos are a real time capsule of a
 n era and a place — humane and atmospheric — and news to most peop
 le. I love the faces and bodies, and the theme of violated Eden, or Af
 ter the Fall…” — PAUL THEROUX\n\n>>>OPENING RECEPTION 15 DECEMBE
 R 2009, 6:30pm. Meet John Wehrheim.\n\nIn 1969, Howard Taylor, brother
  of actress Elizabeth, bailed out a rag-tag band of thirteen young Mai
 nlanders jailed on Kauai (an island 90 miles northwest of Honolulu) fo
 r vagrancy and invited them to camp on his oceanfront land. Soon waves
  of hippies, surfers and troubled Vietnam vets found their way to Tayl
 or Camp and built a clothing-optional, pot-friendly tree house village
  at the end of the road on the island’s North Shore. In 1977, after 
 condemning the village to make way for a State park, government offici
 als torched the camp — leaving little but ashes and memories of “t
 he best days of our lives.” Powerful photos from the seventies revea
 l a community that rejected consumerism for the healing power of natur
 e while the story of Taylor Camp’s eight-year existence is documente
 d through interviews made thirty years later with the campers, their n
 eighbors and the Kauai officials who finally got rid of them.\n\nPubli
 shed and exhibited here for the first time more than thirty years late
 r, John Wehrheim’s evocative black-and-white photos are a time capsu
 le of the Woodstock Generation’s “back to the garden” dream. An 
 important piece of American history beautifully captured on film.\n\nS
 ent to Hawai‘i by the Sierra Club in 1969, John Wehrheim did a serie
 s of articles entitled “Paradise Lost” and then never went back to
  the mainland. He began photographing Taylor Camp in 1971; then in 197
 5, after two years living with both refugees and villagers in Asia, Jo
 hn began to seriously document this tree house community, seeing it as
  both a traditional village and refugee settlement — a “hippie” 
 refugee camp next to a crystalline stream in a tropical forest along a
  beach in paradise. Photographer, writer and filmmaker, John lives on 
 Kauai with his wife JoAnn Yukimura and their daughter Maile. His most 
 recent film is also titled TAYLOR CAMP.\n\n==============\n\nTaylor Ca
 mp by John Wehrheim, a new book, will be released during the exhibitio
 n. Beautifully illustrated with rich monochromatic photographs through
 out. Includes fascinating stories and interviews of Taylor Camp reside
 nts, then and now. 28 x 28 cm, 258 pages, 108 illustrations, map Hardc
 over ISBN 978-193247646-0\n\n\n\n\nFor more information visit http://w
