Opening Reception | Borders, Dreams & Beauty: 6 Solo Photography Shows

Peter Agron: melancholia - This is a selection of black and white gelatin silver prints. All images created from 35mm film negatives on Ilford Art paper and toned in tea.

Lawrence Gottesman: How to Disappear Completely - "There are no people visible, but their traces are everywhere: in a basement light left on; in a locked gate; in each orderly and oppressively constructed structure. These artifacts tell us more than images of people possibly could, but essential gaps remain. These absences are critical, as much as rests are needed for a series of notes to go from mere tones to music. Listen carefully."

Alain Licari: Both Sides (pictured) - "In Both Sides, several diptychs compare two spaces: the beaches of San Diego (United States) and of Tijuana (Mexico) separated by a wall. On each side of this physical border, I searched out correspondences and differences of these geographically continuous spaces. This comparison inaugurates a series of reflections, spawning realizations that play at the edge of this unsettling frontier."

James McCracken: American Beauty - "All of my pictures --- whether involving some planned effort or simply taken 'on the fly' --- reflect my immediate environment and a particular social relationship or multiple, interwoven relationships. And, the pictures represent --- are synonymous to --- my emotional response to this environment/social sphere. Each picture has its own backstory, based on my relationship with the subject(s); the relationship spawns and nurtures the image (or series of images), forming its emotional core."

Fernando Sancho: African Dream - "These pictures were taken in March 2016 while I was on assignment in Monrovia, Liberia. The optimism, hope and resilience I experienced was overwhelming. I learned much from watching daily life. I experienced grace and joy. The ordinary was extraordinary. Welcome to West Africa."

Richard Wilcox: A Portfolio of New York Photographs - "Living in New York for most of my life has afforded me the opportunity to explore and experience the city's rich architectural heritage, which is the primary resource for much of my work. The purpose of this portfolio is not to document architecture but to observe and record tightly framed views and geometries I find in the built environment."
