在这个地方: Photographs by 莫妮卡Sosnowski and Carlos Loret de Mola features work by two artists who explore the intricacies of the quotidian. From minute details that capture intimate glimpses of events and locations to larger 'views' that more generously share their narratives, both artists bring a sense that they are observing from the outside.
在索斯诺斯基这次展览的项目中， 遗忘咒的现场指南(第一部分:隐藏的图腾), 她童年的分段时间线(出生在底特律), she moved with her family to Poland for several years and then back to the East Coast of the United States) seeps into and greatly influences the work. 她的拼贴装置呈现了现实的碎片, 想象中的, 旧的和新的就像一个故事, 可能忘记了, 等待被发现和展开，因为它被告知.
Like broken bits of history, Sosnowski's work does not tell a straight or complete narrative. Rather, it sets up a series of ever-shifting glimpses and moments that may or may not have ever happened. She states, "the concept of 'ars oblivionalis' (aka 'the art of forgetting') was essentially invented by Umberto Eco as a prank discipline in a non-existent university department. But the joke was on him as Eco considered in earnest if in fact techniques for immediate forgetting were possible using mnemonic arts. 在她目前的工作中, 莫妮卡Sosnowski poetically uses the idea of ars oblivionalis as means of exploring memory, 寻找个人意义的感知和认同. 充满渴望的，带有戏谑和有时荒谬的暗示, this field guide in keeping with its subject matter remains elusive offering clues and evoking experiences which feel strangely familiar yet still to be named."
“其他时刻”构成了洛雷特·德·莫拉作品的基础. 他为这次展览创作的作品《正规博彩平台》(v.TG) is, 不像索斯诺基的密集拼贴装置, spare and straightforward – it is installed "in such a way that the relationships between the images are as coded as the images themselves. 这里有让人遐想的典故, 以无常, redaction, narrative, 解体和观察的模糊性."
这些照片清晰无比. From images of a fly trapped on flypaper to an intriguingly awkward painted image of his daughter, 与这些脚印本身的大小有关, it is clear that Loret De Mola does not flinch before the less traditionally photogenic moments of life. These images possess a refreshing honesty and directness that actively challenge the viewer to keep going, 再看一个, to do the math and attempt to summarize all the visual information presented. That each viewer's summary will differ is, no doubt, part of the plan for this work.
As Loret de Mola states "Photography is a powerful means to preserve, select, manipulate, 利用和稀释内存. 它可以作为印象的容器和处理器.
Our often capricious relationship with memory is reflected in my approach to this project that I am calling a mix. I want it to be a distinct experience in response to its container, 是房间吗?, a box, a book, 一个网站之类的. One of my primary influences in this regard is Nan Golden's The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, her landmark slideshow/book/exhibition project that continued to evolve and was different in one way or another every time it was presented. I am very attracted to the role improvisation plays in performance and I would like to inject that mutability into my presented work and not just to my practice. It is not unlike a DJ preparing an ever-growing and ever-changing mix that takes on its own individual character each time it is presented in a venue or a recording."
Born in Detroit, Sosnowski grew up in Poland and the United States. 她的作品曾在国内外展出, 包括皮茨菲尔德的画廊, MA; North Hampton, MA; Bratislava, Slovakia; and multiple venues in New York City. She is a teaching assistant at the International Center for Photography in NYC and an instructor at IS 183 Art School of the Berkshires in Stockbridge, MA.
Sosnowski received both her BFA and MFA in photography from Hunter College, NYC. 她在布鲁克林和伯克郡生活和工作.
洛雷特·德·莫拉出生在哈瓦那, Cuba, lived and worked in New York City for a decade and currently makes his home and his work in Hudson.
Loret de Mola's work has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in Atlanta, GA; Houston, TX; New Paltz, NY; San Francisco, CA; Woodstock, NY; and Albany, NY.
