Exhibition dates: February 7 - March 7
Gallery hours: Tuesday – Saturday 11:00 – 17:00

Wyn Geleynse:

In our Viewing Room, we have curated and presented a few select works by Wyn Geleynse. Anchoring this part of the exhibition is the stunning film projection titled Aura (1991-1992): an image of what could easily be a hazy 19th-century landscape painting, dancing in the light, is projected by an old 16 mm projector onto a wall-mounted ground-glass gilded frame surrounded by an ebony velvet curtain.

Danny Singer: 

On view now in our Galleria is a breathtaking new work by Danny Singer titled Gainsborough Storm Sky (2019). Gainsborough is a village in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada; the village is located on Highway 18 in the southeastern corner of Saskatchewan, the corner-most community in the province. Working out of the tradition of documentary photography and using contemporary photographic techniques, Singer records places found in Canada’s western Prairie Provinces, and in the Great Plains of North America. Often composed of up to 80 or 100 sequential images digitally conjoined into seamless panoramas, Singer’s photographic works are eloquent, elegiac and nostalgic histories of small towns, villages, and hamlets.
