Gallery East- Half Awake | Michael Borek | Bethesda, MD

Canadian by Michael Borek

"I took these photographs with my eyes closed. By that, I don't mean that I lowered my lids over my pupils to prevent light form transmitting the images to me. Rather, these photographs were taken through an imaginary filter that reveals what is there to be seen in addition to - or in spite of - the bare images themselves.

Although I took these pictures mostly during the day, they contain nocturnal elements that suggest the sensation of simultaneously being awake and asleep. They document my encounters with scenes that felt intense, sometimes even and strange, yet also oddly familiar. Perhaps they capture dreams that I have yet to experience. Or maybe they seen familiar because I have dreamed of them before. I am not entirely sure about the meaning of these pictures; my subconscious may be trying to get the upper hand." -- Michael Borek                                               

Gallery West- Secret Hours | Alison Overton | Raleigh, NC

BoyGirl by Alison Overton

Secret Hours is a series of photographs showcasing North Carolina artist Alison Overton's new foray into the digital photography medium. Created in 2009 and 2010, this  body of work reveals a great departure in subject matter, style, and size for her. The new subject matter of the photographs consists of antique dolls and curious objects juxtaposed with unusual flora and fauna. The dolls and other objects are items which Overton found this past year while clearing out her childhood home in Vance County, North Carolina. Her parents collected a variety of things obsessively for decades. For Overton, the objects attracted her as she came to realize that they represented both real and imagined childhood memories, for both her and her parents.

Gallery Centre- Waiting | Lynn Limon | Richmond, VA

Waiting by Lynn Limon

"Waiting is a universal and ubiquitous. Ranging from the mundane to the profound, we wait for a phone call or we wait for freedom. For Roland Barthes, in A Lover's Discourse, the waiting for his lover is simultaneously an enchantment and a delirium.  For Vladimir and Estragon of Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot, after an existentialist wait, Godot never arrives.

This series of images captured in the Paris Metro encompass waiting for me. On the one hand, in the Metro one simply waits for the train. On the other hand, the benches and chairs can be a metaphor for something more philosophical. In the Concorde station, for example, blue tiles behind the seating spell out the Rites of Man; this is directly under the plaza where French Revolutionaries rioted for their freedom." --Lynn Limon

12 12 Gallery, South Richmond's Fine Art Gallery, is located at 12 East 12th Street, in the John B Anderson House, just east of Hull Street. Gallery hours are Thursdays and Fridays 12-4, Saturdays 11-6, Sundays 12-5, and by appointment.

National Juried Photography Exhibition 2009 Finalists

 

Performer | Henrietta Near

Julian Cox, Curator of Photography at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia has selected 50 works by 49 photographers for 12 12 Gallery's National Juried Photography exhibition.

Of the work chosen Mr. Cox writes:

"The photographers selected for this exhibition employ diverse creative strategies.  What they share in common, however, is a desire to test the descriptive and expressive possibilities of the photographic medium in novel ways. I find in their work a curiosity for subject matter, beauty, vision and wit - which are some of the essential ingredients for a memorable photograph".

At Last | Drake Logan & Jean-Claude Nino

We hope you  can join us Sunday, October 4th from 2-5PM for the Artists' Reception and Exhibition opening. A gallery talk and award announcements will be made by the director during the reception.

An online gallery of the images chosen for this exhibition will be available soon!

How Not To Cookbook

To most people, a cookbook is more like a museum than a gallery. Take Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” Beneath the red jacket is enough information to stew over for hours and hours, just as you could spend days studying the American Painting wing at the Met.

But apparently a cookbook can be art, too. Until Sept. 27, the Collective Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland, is exhibiting “The How Not to Cookbook: Lessons Learned the Hard Way.” The gallery’s white-walled rooms now house row after row of identical black-bound books — a comforting sight in the post-encyclopedia age.

The rooms are only a fraction of the Polish-born artist Aleksandra Mir’s intended work. The book is the artwork, a social project open to anyone who wanted to give it meaning. In “The How Not to Cookbook,” Mir, whose fake postcards of Venice were a big hit at the recent Biennale (scroll down to the bottom of the page here to see them on The Moment), compiled words of wisdom from 1,000 people — lessons they’ve learned through their own mishaps in the kitchen — and arranged them in chapters like Bread, Eggs, Erotica and Mexico. Some of the advice is serious; some is odd. Several are obvious; others yield surprising discoveries. (“Do not boil avocado. Tastes like soap.”) This nontraditional exhibit expresses Mir’s style, which combines her interests in anthropology and interactive art.
