About this Event
We are thrilled to invite you to "Photography," The exhibition, showcasing the work of Lithuanian photographer Romualdas Požerskis and New York photographer Geoffrey Berliner.
While differing in the focal length of their gaze – Berliner is a master of the close-up and Požerskis’ lens is more macro - they both explore intimacy, time, abstraction and documentation through black and white analogue photography. This show includes 19 photographs from Požerskis’ work documenting his subjects against the background of small town life in Lithuania during the Soviet /post-Soviet Era and 18 of Berliner’s portraits of photographic artists and abstract works utilizing the wet plate collodion process.
Curated by Francine Rogers and Julia Rothenberg, the exhibition will be on view from November 2nd to November 30th, 2023.
Opening reception taking place on November 2nd from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.
Gallery hours Thursday and Saturday 4pm-7pm.
