Brand New: Feb 1 – 29, 2024

Online Group Show
Treat Gallery, treatgallery.org, 2/1 – 2/29/24.

From the Treat Gallery Website: “Reinvention is no stranger to the contemporary art world. Artists have had to pivot repeatedly, most recently; during the recession, the coronavirus pandemic, and the rise of artificial intelligence. To reinvent is to change (something) so much that it appears to be entirely new, or to take up a very different job or way of life. To re-establish something as new is to begin a process, or make significant changes or improvements to (something.) Words commonly associated with reinvention are: transform. disrupt. redesign. experiment. modify. reclaim. Artists were challenged to create and submit new work following these visual or conceptual guidelines.”

Exhibitors include: Alina Andriushchenko, Allen Morris, Amie Hollmann, Blaine White, Cheryl Safren, Daria Burobina, Farras Abdelnour, Jia Hao, John Romi, Luke Woodford, Marni Mutrux, Matt Perrin, Michael N. Meyer, Randall Steinke, Sabrina Skinner and Susan Bowen.


The below two images from my spills series are included in the show.

Times Square Susan Bowen
 
This was my first exhibited print, which was accepted into Soho Photo Gallery’s annual national photography competition exactly 20 years ago!

Interesting note: When I submitted to the competition I submitted slides I took of contact prints… as at that point I had not yet made my first print (well since college anyway). And I was accepted.

The print I ultimately made for the exhibition was this gelatin-silver print done using an 8×10 enlarger.

This was amongst my first overlapping exposure Holga pictures, a Times Square image shot for a four-week class at the New School (where I was first introduced to the Holga).

I will be exhibiting 2 pieces from my New York Walking series: “Shot at various busy street corners in New York City, I like to record the swirl of activity around me. The vantage point is low; I am often sitting on the ground with a small tripod and rapidly capturing people as they walk by.”

This will be a gallery-wide group show of New York City images, celebrating Soho Photo Gallery’s 50th anniversary.
