CELLAR IN THE ATTIC IN LOS ANGELES AND FORT COLLINS
I am happy that my photographic series will be showed at two places this summer. Opening on June 2nd, and on display through July 1st, Danielle Sommer has curated my piece into the show “Pop-Up Library: The Collectors” at Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles, California. 42 of my photographs will be represented.
To investigate an experience, we often turn to its physical detritus. We collect it, savor it, fetishize it, or even reproduce it. If none exists, we will go so far as to create it. Pop-Up Library: The Collectors features artists working with the idea of collecting or archiving. Each artist or group featured has been struck by a particular moment, place, experience, or event. Each artist has found his or her own way of attempting to return to the moment, to freeze or expand it, to critique it or reproduce it.
12 photographs from the same series will be on display in the show “illusions” at The Center for Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins, Colorado. The show will be up between August 3rd to September 1st and I am proud to be the recipient of the “Director’s Selection.”
Illusion: A false idea or belief, a deceptive appearance or impression, something that betrays by producing misleading impressions of reality. Synonyms: delusion – hallucination – phantasm – phantom – mirage.
