YOU AND YOURS

Posted on 2021-01-18

Any age would feel daunted by the challenges posed by a global pandemic. You and Yours counts our blessings as it emphasizes the power in connectivity. Designed to cast a wide net and bring new artists and ideas into our fold, this large group exhibition also harmonizes with the idea of viral spread.

The gallery asked a core group of represented and previously exhibited artists to contribute work and extend the invitation outward by proposing a colleague for inclusion. Over 20 artists have been selected for exhibition. Included artists were not limited by media, and their works may but are not necessarily attached to their “regular practice.”

ANNE BERRY – BEHIND GLASS

Posted on 2021-01-18

Behind Glass is a series of portraits of primates made in small zoos throughout Europe. Alone, patient and silent, in these monkey houses I establish a more than passing connection with my subjects. I makes portraits that reveal the unique personality of each of these animals; it is clear that they are posing for me and that there exists a human-primate bond. My goal is to motivate people to feel compassion for primates and an obligation to protect them. Most of the primates I photograph qualify as endangered, and all of them are facing stress from loss of habitat and human activity. The plight of primates on earth is urgent; our indifference will condemn them to extinction, and we will follow.

MARTIN PARR – WORLD TOUR

Posted on 2021-01-11

Parr has compiled images from various locales throughout the world, from Paris to Moscow, from Marrakesh to Dubai. Gatherings at horse races, art fairs (they’re remarkably similar,) concerts and ski slopes, provide Parr with extraordinary opportunities for his observations. Parr is a formally sophisticated, humorous, and astute documentary photographer.

Parr’s essential tropes, including a cacophony of colors and a keen appreciation of the absurd, are on view in these photographs. The daylight flash, the dressing up and partying, the coincidental matching of patterns and colors in unlikely places, all commingle in this body of colorful and witty work. In a world limited by pandemic and economic concerns, these photographs are all the more revealing and poignant.

Exhibition runs through to January 30th, 2021

SZE TSUNG NICOLÁS LEONG

Posted on 2021-01-11

Sze Tsung Nicolás Leong’s artistic practice focuses, he has previously written, “on how we see, understand, and belong to the world.” His Horizons, begun in 2001, are a series of photographs taken throughout the globe of the line of sight separating ground from sky, and at the same time, on a more cognitive level, they are “an exploration of the horizon as the limit of what we can see and know, that questions the boundaries separating the present from the past, near from far, familiar from foreign.”

Opposite – Indian Ocean, 2007

Exhibition runs through to January 6th, 2021

OMER KAPLAN – POTENTIAL SPACE

Posted on 2021-01-11

Potential Space is a collaborative project to create an intimate and safe space for self-validation and discomfort. I met the women in my photographs in online forums and invited them to my home. I always started with me photographing them. Then, I would ask them to take a self-portrait without me in the room. I would tell them that they were free to change their clothing and pose however they would like. Afterwards, I would ask them to write about their experiences. This way, I let each subject’s voice be heard through collaborative texts and imagery. Inspired by the women and the atmosphere left in the room, I started to photograph myself after they would leave.

Exhibition runs through to February 6th, 2021
