PART II

29.01.09 - 30.03.09

Opening Reception, Thursday, January 29th, 2008, 7 pm

In this solo exhibition, the artist Janet Zeugner (1977- ) shows a selection from her complex “photographic” endeavors of the last three years. Zeugner’s experimental methods, her contrary relationship with photo paper and photographic chemicals- with almost a disregard for the camera, lens, and fixative- as well as the painterly components, set her work apart from standard photographic practices. On a base of black and white templates, the artist develops and then transforms images with their very own sensual qualities.
