What started out as a personal documentary on friendship and environmental portraiture has turned into an exploration of American culture, relationships, technology and travel in the 21st Century.

Anna Fox’s documentary of contemporary British holiday culture, Resort I, gives us insight into a cultural phenomenon that has 75 years worth of history. Fox’s documentation of Butlin’s resort, in the seaside community of Bognor Regis, West Sussex, assures us that the thriving seaside resorts whose heyday was in the 1970’s are alive and well in British culture today. Taken over a 2-year period of time, Fox was able to document the absurdities and ironies of this unique microcosm. Her somewhat comedic narrative also provides the viewer with a sense of continuity to the past.
Fox’s ability to story-tell provides a unique point of view. While acting primarily as a documentary photographer, her own experiences as a youth visiting Butlin’s , infiltrates her images by adding a sense of mystery. With a 4×5 camera, a lighting system, and assistants, Fox is eager to preserve the documentary spirit and succeeds in recording the magic that is still permeates throughout this popular vacation spot.
Resort I is a brief look into a unique subculture whose character is alive and well in contemporary society. Fox succeeds in preserving the documentary style of photographing while using highly theatrical sets and super saturated colors—a feat that is not easy to do. Her stunning images capture the awkward nature of people naturally interacting with one another in a space that reeks of artificiality.

Studio Physics: A Photographic Exploration into the Nature of Time, Light, Space and Gravity
November 29, 2013- January 5, 2014
Evening Occasion – Friday, December 6, 6-8pm
wall space gallery is pleased to present this exhibition of photographs by the nationally recognized photographer and physicist, John Chervinsky. The exceptionally clever and stimulating images in his recent Studio Physics series explore changes in light, space, and gravity over a period of weeks. In Chervinsky’s inventive and provocative process, he sends a cropped still life photograph to China to be turned into a custom oil painting, which he then inserts back into his decaying studio still life to rephotograph. The results playfully induce double-takes and encourage the viewer to consider the grand and small scales of changes in the physical world. These digital color photographs build on Chervinsky’s previous black and white series, An Experiment in Perspective. Against a sumptuously printed blackboard with chalk diagrams, arrows, and formulae, Chervinsky used objects to apply the laws of nature to more ambiguous realms of faith and emotion. Boldly working at the intersection of professional science and art, John Chervinsky’s work culminates in an elegant and intelligent look at perception.

Brooklyn based photographer and long time instant film master, Patrick Winfield continues to produce and experiment with analog materials to create unique composites. An expert of composition, he fuses Impossible instant film in vivid ways to produce stunning large scale composites. Winfield blends a diverse range of techniques and alternative processes in his collages, from photograms to macro photography.
These composites create a fractured universe where focal structure is not always aimed to a single point. Instead it is spread out over multiple viewpoints, causing the eye to dig deeper into the image. The beautiful images transplant the viewer’s imagination, and have the power to transform how they see reality, split yet focused.

The change in alpine landscape through human activities is a permanent feature of Niedermayr’s artwork. In his work, Walter Niedermayr weakens the ideal of an untouched natural landscape, and brings the effects of winter tourism in focus. Mostly done in polyptychs, his photographic series forbid the usual point of view of a landscape as a panorama and forces the recipient to a new perception. Niedermayr regards his work not merely as a criticism of the handling with landscape. It`s up to the recipients to express their criticism.
