Is there an elegant way to eat on the ground? Where do a woman's
eyes go when she puts a cup to her lips? In his new show,
Entanglement - Strange Interaction at a Distance, photographer Lee
Kilpatrick freezes moments we mistakenly think too mundane for film.
A bride eating Cheese Nips looks both strange and commonplace as she
squints into the sun; a woman at a picnic bench seems not to notice
the body sprawled on the grass behind her. Kilpatrick's subjects
seem unaware of each other and of the photographer. Their
preoccupation amid universal settings or activities highlights both
the absurdity and familiarity of expressions we all use. Whether
depicting a man eating a banana or a couple flirting at a party,
Kilpatrick shows us how much we reveal when we think nobody's looking.

Kilpatrick is the Director of the Washington Street Art Center in
Somerville. He has shown his photos at the Willoughby & Baltic
Gallery, Somerville Open Studios, and Diesel Café. The Mary Baker
Eddy Library chose him in 2005 as a panelist on photography in
everyday life, and in 2006 Arts Somerville voted him an "Artist of
the Month." He received his BA in Computer Science at MIT in 1991,
and has since been bridging the gap between art and science.

The Washington Street Art Center houses Gallery 321; hosts studio
space for more than twenty visual artists; and presents exhibitions,
concerts, film series, and other art initiatives. The Center
participates in Somerville Open Studios each May and an annual open
studios craft fair in December.

The Washington Street Art Center is located between Union Square and
Beacon Street-a five-minute walk from Union Square and a ten-minute
walk from Harvard Square (two blocks from Beacon Street). Accessible
on the #86 bus. Parking is free and ample.
