Month: January 2025

January 3–February 28: Lisa Dimondstein, Julie Parker and Sandra Shenk in Abstract^2. These photographers are dedicated to radicalizing the photo as image. They abstract from an existing abstract sculpture to capture the properties and relationships of the original abstract concept, and in doing so they remove themselves from any context or representation. The photographs are inventive abstractions of sculptures by David Stromeyer. They utilize an in-camera multiple exposure technique to explore the relationship between color, texture, movement, line and form. Reception: Saturday, January 18, 5–7 p.m.
