For Immediate Release:
Lane Meyer Projects is thrilled to present All the Time, All the Time, a 3-person immersive photography installation by artists Colby Deal, Juan Fuentes, and John Lake. Featuring photographs taken over the course of three decades, a sense of timelessness meets the unpredictable as each artist entrusts the crucial task of editing to his fellow collaborators. Carrying both deeply personal and universal histories, photographs printed on paper, silk, and other fabrics are mounted via tacks and staples onto the walls of the gallery in a maximalist site-specific experience.
Presented via experimental modes and photographic processes, this exhibition features both black and white and color images created in Colorado, New York, Texas, and Mexico, among other locales, allowing for unexpected connections to resonate between images. The subjects throughout All the Time, All the Time are connected by the invisible threads that connect the artists; tone and form create a visual rhythm as the play between images comes into focus.
Memory’s perfect imperfection is triply recreated as the installation takes the personal, intimate, place-based, and collaborative nature of each of the artists’ artwork into new directions. In All the Time, All the Time, Deal, Fuentes, and Lake frame the creative-interpersonal as substantive form, in hopes of transporting viewers into a womb of imaginative experiences, moments in time, and brushes with the surreal.

About the artists
Colby Deal is a photographic artist born and raised in Houston, Texas. Within his practice he explores the culmination of elements of the psychological environment as well as the physical. He shows the dynamic range of family, community and the individual by combining street photography and portraiture to capture vibrant communities.
Juan Fuentes is a documentary photographer born in Chihuahua, México and raised in Denver’s Northside neighborhood. His photography documents everyday life, capturing Chicano culture and telling intimate stories of Latino/a and immigrant experiences. Most often, Juan’s artistic practice takes a community-based approach. In the face of gentrification, Juan inspires recognition of human connection, dismissed narratives, and the identities of people and place. His photography examines the visual and emotional artifacts of memory, erasure, and family- creating records that affirm and center marginalized communities.
John Lake is a photo-based artist, curator, and educator. His art practice gravitates towards esoteric and psychological components of photography, while stretching the imaginative use of photography to new creative forms through questioning truth and knowledge, experimental methodologies, and emotional narratives.
