We’re very excited about October’s installation as our friend, James Ford, will be displaying a selection of his 6000+ Polaroid photographs, taken over a period of eight years. Narrowing it down to a mere 2000 (!), he’ll be displaying the photos on a wall-sized grid in chronological order in a way that not only proves his remarkable eye for photography but also his passion for both film and comics.

Please join us Friday October 2 from 5:00-7:00pm for the opening reception and check out James’ artist statement below:

“Cumulatively, the photographs represent an ongoing work which functions as both observation and autobiography; the work is both lyrical and documentary, and contains portraits, landscapes, personal moments, famous landmarks, nostalgic instances, puzzling obscurities, messy fragments, eye-catching distractions, humorous gags, bacchanalian mistakes, and a few brief moments of unexpected beauty. This utterly disposable, imperfect, impermanent (and now largely extinct) medium allows us to capture brief and similarly impermanent moments and preserve them for a little while longer, and to share the experience with others.”

Join us on Friday, September 4 from 5:30-8:00pm for the opening reception for “FOLLY.” The show features the collaborative work of Corey Kitzke and Dave Moore and will be on display this month at the Garage with a partner show happening at Chop Suey Books in Richmond

Aside from the many possible forms and implications of the word FOLLY, it is also an actual place; you can physically go there. This show, and it’s continuation in (Richmond/Charlottesville) is about that place and all those other forms and implications..
