They looked on while it happened.
Galleri Image is proud to present a collaboration between
Gianluca Maver, Barak Reiser and April Gertler
2nd March 7th April 2007
Objects, places and people as they
appear at night, in darkness and artificial light, is the common
theme for the group exhibition They looked on while it happened.
Gianluca Maver (Italy), Barak Reiser (Israel/Germany) and April
Gertler (US), work with this theme from individual perspectives.
However, with their current exhibition the artists have created
a cohesive series of narratives which examine notions of time
and place.
Using a flashlight, Gianluca Maver
collects information and evidence like a detective. He searches
in dark and empty suburban streets to uncover possible clues
to events that might suggest social disorder. Barak Reiser uses
long exposures and seeks to show the in-between moments before
or after an event takes place. Therefore he is focusing on spaces
where a simple action might take place. Although April Gertler
also works with long exposures, her images reference cinematic
film-noire stills, emphasizing unclear meaning within each image.
She photographs possible actors and objects for her landscapes.
She pictures a city or place that is everywhere but no where
at the same time.
It is in this exhibition that the
artists will be bringing their work together for an exhibition
that includes 28 images which have been made especially for
Galleri Image.
Galleri Image is arranging a seminar
in relation to the exhibition on Saturday 3rd of March at 14:00.
Here the artists will talk about their work.
