The Gold Coast Arts Center will host an opening reception for their new photography exhibition “Visions of the World” on Thursday June 12 from 6 to 8 p.m., which runs in their gallery through June 28. Admission is free and Refreshments will be served.
Artists represented in the exhibition are: Robert Scott, president of Adelphi University, Jean Timsit artist based in Paris, France, Emily Corbato, scholar of Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University, Fran Kaufman, internationally known jazz photographer, Orestes Gonzalez, NY-based photographer, artist George Adler and multimedia artist Annalisa Iadicicco.
“The work on view at the Gold Coast Arts Center, explores contemporary photography’s ability to describe and convey a sense of place and those that exists within it” explains Gallery Curator Jude Amsel, “Whether referencing an immediately identifiable location or one that is conceptual and abstract, each photograph encourages the viewer to contemplate or decipher the physical context in which the picture was taken”.
The photographers featured in this exhibition offer an individual and unique “Visions of the World” through their compelling images. The range of participating artists, and the diversity of their approaches, reflects the individualistic interpretation documenting our cultural diversity.
Jude continued “The tendency today to record pictures with iPhones, while giving instant gratification, does not reflect the intimacy between artist and subject that is achieved through the lens of the camera. The work in this exhibition expresses that creativity with camera in hand”.
The Gold Coast Arts Center is located at 113 Middle Neck Road in Great Neck. For more information, call (516) 829-2570 or visit www.goldcoastarts.org.
