Run From View | Chuck Kelton The exhibition "Run From View" represents the newest photographic explorations of Chuck Kelton. Drawn from autobiographical experiences, the work celebrates the chaos and fragmentation of life. Kelton constructs abstracted images which become narratives saturated with metaphorical structure. Inspired visually by landscapes these images tend to be more mythological than temporal. The work clings to classical black and white techniques, Each photograph will be executed as editions of three with the prints within each edition having slight variations.
Chuck Kelton is the owner of Kelton Labs in New York City. For the
last twenty five years Kelton has worked as a master printer producing
exhibitions, and advertising campaigns for photographers worldwide. His
clients have included Lillian Bassman, Danny Lyon, Helen Levitt, Mary
Ellen Mark, John Loengard, as well as museums and publications. His
photographs are included in the collection of the Bibliotheque
Nationale de France. When not in the darkroom, Kelton teaches workshops
throughout the country as well as an intensive Independent Projects
Seminar at the International Center of Photography.
Day For Night/ Sheldon Walsmith The exhibition Day for Night features three distinct new series of
paintings by artist, Sheldon Walsmith. The series, La Perambulati, Ill
Corallo and The New Phonetic each play with polarity. Sheldon feels
it is the artist's task is to extend the expanse between black and
white; between opposing forces. The paintings in Day For Night
represents thispractice; like a waking dream these paintings are the
fractaling seconds between dawn and dusk, fact and fantasy,
experiencing and remembering. Shelton Walsmith is a multi-media artist working in the Gowanus Canal
area of Brooklyn. His work has been published by The ParisReview,
Knopf, Vintage, Rizzoli Books, Unsaid Magazine, New York Tyrant and
others. He has exhibited in New York, San Francisco, Prague and Austin.
Walsmith is the founder and host of the event series Yardmeter Editions.
