Opening Reception | Photographs by Sharon Ya'ari
Sharon Ya’ari’s photographs are intimate depictions of moments in life. His work seeks what Urs Stahel calls “the morphology of everyday life”; a gesture, a moment, an ordinary site. Taken with hyper-sensitivity to the common and the familiar, Ya’ari’s images manage to transform the mundane into an open-ended question; one that calls for a suspension of the gaze and invites the viewer for a new type of observation. Followed by an artist's talk.

Concert | Gen Ken Montgomery's The Infinite Loop: Music Made from Decaying 8-Track Tape Cartridges
Gen Ken Montgomery (b. 1957) performs music made from all-natural artificially processed analog sounds conjured from decaying 8-Track tape cartridges, designed for playback in Lear jets and cars.
From the artist: "In 1994 I saw a dilapidated Led Zeppelin IV 8-Track tape caked in mud in a box under a table of cassettes at a yard sale. The cassettes were selling for 10¢ but the 8-Track tapes, despite being in terrible condition had a price tag of 25¢. I knew there must be something special going on, but at the time I didn’t know it would be Magic.”

Opening Reception | Photography: Candice Yates' What Is Present
The exhibition illustrates a duel between a man and himself. The duel is an internal struggle between who he feels he is and what he wants, versus whom he is “allowed” to be and what he is deemed eligible to possess. The work unfolds much like a narrative, with a beginning expressed through violent physicality by which the character is at war with himself. The body of the story is depicted by a moment of submission followed by a brief sense of solemnity. The next stage is an attempt to return to his façade; however, this façade is tainted and unbalanced which creates yet another layer with which he grapples.
