Exploring the Art.

In "Extended Realities: The Language of Photomontage", each of the pieces are strictly photographs, altered through the artists' perceptions and ideals. Every photograph tells a story, and some are tied to one another in theme, or meaning, or both. They are meant to broaden horizons, allow for alternate thought process, and to capture the creativity stored within us all. It is artwork like the pieces we have in this show that allows us to stop and imagine.

With themes ranging from "Alice in Wonderland" to animorphic images of substituted objects and people, from upholstered chairs with a single stain to mushroom clouds replacing faces, and even to a simple progressional turn of the same lady's face at different angles, this new show allows for personal interpretation. How does the viewer take the piece, even after reading the plaques beside them for an explanation? How do they tie the photographs together, or see them as their own separate piece? How do they relate?

This is a show that allows pondering, imagination, and creativity to flow. We encourage everyone to come and check it out before it ends next month, in November. It is a wonderful installment unlike any other we've held at our Gallery before. Everyone is welcome, so bring your friends and family. Spread the word to visit and enjoy the show we have for you at our Gallery!

New Exhibit!

Greetings everyone! Apologies for the slight hiatus while the new show was installed. Thank you for your patience. The new installation is called: Extended Realities: The Language of Photomontage. It will run October 14th - November 16th, 2013. We encourage you to check it out!

Unlike all of our other shows, this installation takes a new approach to our Gallery. This is the first show where all of the pieces are simply photographs. However, these are not just ordinary photographs. Each one represents a different perspective and can allow the viewer an alternate look on not only nature and the world, but also society and the thought process. These photos are meant to challenge reality and twist it into new life. They express different ideas of conception while still holding a candle to the truth of human society. This show truly is remarkable in its expression and features wonderful and creative artists.

Our reception for this show took place last Friday, October 17, 2013 from 5:30p - 7:00p. We had a wonderful turnout of local art go-ers and students, so thank you for your support. The discussions on the pieces were great and we are glad to have had the chance to hear about each one and the artists who created them. The artists featured in this installation are:

- Paul Cava
- Francesca Danieli
- Fran Forman
- Stane Jagodic
- Catherine Jansen
- Duane Michals
- Joe Mills
- Frank Rodick
- Dominic Rouse
- Maggie Taylor
-Jerry N. Uelsmann

And the show is curated by: Stephen Perloff, Editor, The Photo Review.

Again, we encourage you to come and see the exhibit for yourself before it has run its full course into mid-November. Please don't forget to sign our Guest Book in the Gallery and sign up for our e-mail alerts, too!
