Gary Duehr, "Erasure," pigment print, 24" x 36", 2017

Gary Duehr: The “Erasures” photos are taken from trains or elevated subways; these photographs capture glimpses of the urban cityscape streaming past: a patch of roof, some shrubbery, the smear of a highrise. In a way, the speed can be thought of as erasing the scenery, smudging its tones, blending together the land and sky. "Erasures" is less about what’s out there than what flies past the corner of the eye.



Jennifer Liston Munson, Malecón, archival pigment print mounted to dibond, 30" x 20", 2017

Jennifer Liston Munson: Her allusive imagery is captured in motion while traveling in cars, trains, boats, and motorcycles. Though they begin by fixating on a particular location, the focus becomes an interior space as the camera wonders to the periphery—distracted from the assigned subject to create invented landscapes and architecture. This filmic movement within the picture evokes a sense of transition making the background a subject in itself instead of a screen against which significant things can be seen.



Ted Ollier, "Park Street Southbound Interval Adjusted”, composite video, 0:30 seconds, 2012

Ted Ollier: An “icosacomposite” is a 20-layer video that uses transparency and overlay to create a dreamlike, ghostly version of everyday scenes. Fifty minutes of footage become one hundred and fifty seconds of composite. Traffic melts into pedestrians, bikes blend into baby carriages, and the sound merges into a melange of occurring and recurring honks, roars, beeps and mutterings. These particular icosacomposites show the stations on the north side of the MBTA Red Line as dreamy representations of themselves.



David Palmquist, "Laguna Cliffs," oil on canvas, 36" x 108", 2017

David Palmquist: Much of his work has either originated from satellite imagery or from photos that were captured in motion.  In each there is a distance from the subject, whether the miles of space between the earth and satellite, or the separation created by having quickly moved past it in transit.  These works are intended to convey the temporary and changing nature of surroundings, but to also preserve these observations of place in a suspended state for further examination.
