William Christenberry:
Vintage Kodak Brownies

At the center of William Christenberry's working process is the Kodak Brownie Holiday camera. The diminutive photographs produced by the Brownie camera have become his most essential and succinct artistic statement. The exhibition provides a unique opportunity to appreciate the wonder as well as the rarity of Christenberry's vintage brownies.

Robin Rose:
Distortion, Delay & Sustain

Utilizing certain postmodern collage and installation strategies, Rose employs humor and playfulness, graciously avoiding any pretense. Working with various pieces of musical equipment such as guitar distortion effects pedals, a drum kick pedal and speaker cones, Rose reveals and revels in the meta-symbols and meta-myths that have sprung from late 20th Century popular music culture.

Donald Baechler:
Flower Studies

In Baechlerís recent black and white flower prints, the flower becomes the vehicle through which Baechler explores texture, line, color, form, and balance. The results are complex and engaging compositions that beckon the viewer to look beyond a recognizable symbol and consider the process of art-making.
