Exhibition Opening: Kelli Connell's Double Life

photo-eye Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of photographs by Kelli Connell from her series Double Life. The exhibition runs May 8th through June 30th with an artist reception on June 1st from 4:30-6:30pm in photo-eye Gallery, 376A Garcia Street, Santa Fe. This will be Connell's first exhibition at photo-eye Gallery.

Kelli Connell's series, Double Life, appears to document the evolving relationship between two women. By combining multiple negatives of the same model, Connell uses digital imaging techniques to create constructed realities. The model acts out various fictional scenarios, with the characters' body language and clothing changing in each image. The work represents Connell's investigation of identity, sexuality, and gender roles, as they shape and are expressed within intimate relationships. Through her photographs she addresses complex issues about visual rhetoric and the self.

Purchase a signed copy of Double Life.

And if you missed our last exhibit, Steve Fitch's Highway Culture, a selection of the work is now on display at the New Mexico Museum of Art. View installation photographs of the exhibition here. Fitch's work from the past photo-eye exhibit can be viewed here.

Contact Anne Kelly, photo-eye Gallery Associate Director, for further information on Kelli Connell's work. Visit photo-eye online Galleries.

Photographs Not Taken

"Photographers live with a multitude of missed moments and photographs that escape the click of the shutter. Equal parts voyeur and hoarder, photographers stereotypically collect moments and images. Anything that escapes is cause for at least a little temporary sorrow if not haunting regret. While they don't possess a monopoly on this ever-present sense of loss, photographers are trained to be vigilant for such moments and feel this loss all the more acutely." — Adam Bell from the review of Photographs Not Taken

Watershed by Jeff Rich

"It was refreshing to see Photolucida's coveted Critical Mass Book Award go to only one recipient in 2010. Jeff Rich certainly deserved it. His poignantly important body of work Watershed is presented in a simple format with a design both elegant and appropriate. Complete with stunning printing, Rich's work is allowed to be seen for its full significance. The wisdom of Photolucida's conclusion to publish one book for this year can be seen in the quality of Watershed as an object, and for this decision my hat goes off to them. " — Antone Dolezal from the review of Watershed

A Closer Look - A New Kind of Beauty

"I've been familiar with Philip Toledano's A New Kind of Beauty series for several years, but having only seen the images online, the new elegantly produced book from Dewi Lewis made me feel like I was seeing it for the first time. The book is large at 14-3/4x11-1/2 inches, and while not outlandishly big, the scale creates a notable presence." — Sarah Bradley
