Spring has arrived early with the much anticipated opening of MFA Photography student Emily Rooney. Being the first show of the season is not only a daunting task, but it is also a grand opportunity to lay the framework of expectations for what follows. With "Naked Night" Rooney presents her viewers an intimate (almost foreboding) expression through solidified artifacts, a transcendental video piece, and a few photographs to help compliment our intake. Making use of all three spaces in the Temple Gallery, Rooney keeps her work grounded making room for breath and reconciling eastern ideals for a mellow (almost affectionate) interaction. Before the opening, Charlie and I were lucky enough to take our time with each installment slowly deducting and reflecting our opinions with each other. It was clear to us, with Rooney's vast openness, that we had to take everything in slowly and attentively. This was beneficial to our understanding and left a profound emotional impact on both of us. I would advise anyone to do the same.
Emily's show will be on display the weekend of March 18th to 19th. Not a lot of time, but I'm hoping this show will emerge into other galleries in the coming future.
CONGRATS ROONDOG WOOOO!
much love XOXO,
George and Charlie
Fine Art Photographer Katie Ames presents "Distressed", a series now showing in the lobby of Weiss Hall at Temple University. Each photograph challenges the viewer and puts them in the restless place of the observer/culprit hovering over these women in distress. It's a haunting series that not only comments very strongly on the roles within the domestic space but also on the roles of a photographer as a subject.
Ben Chetta's MFA thesis exhibition will be up in Temple Gallery from March 23-26th
