Dear Friends,

Please join us on Thursday, April 2 for our upcoming exhibition Inside/Out by photographer and visual artist Libby Rowe.

Inside/Out will be on view at the United Photo Industries Gallery from April 2 through to April 24, 2015 and an artist reception (open to all) will be held on Thursday April 2 from 6pm - 9pm to celebrate the work and meet Libby Rowe.

We are truly excited to have Inside/Out as our final exhibition in our current space at 111 Front Street, before we move to our new ground-level location later this spring (stay tuned for THAT announcement next week!)

Hope to see you all next Thursday, to raise a glass to Libby and to our beautiful space that has served us all so well these past 3.5 years.

The Waiting

Inside/Out is made up of images of domestic structures digitally created from multiple image files. The elaborately constructed sets act as stages upon which short stories unfold. These facades are fallacies that are carefully constructed, but would not hold up to the rules of physics or reality. Some carefully manicured and maintained, others neglected and forlorn, these facades represent the emotional status of the people within.

At first glance viewers are willing to accept the structure of each house. The architecture seems plausible. Further inspection reveals the structural flaws as well as scenes from daily life played out through the windows and doors. Each character is completely consumed by their own immediate experience, seemingly unaware of the others in their home. Open-ended narratives invite the viewer to join in completing each story, determining the narrative that will unfold.
