MAP Show at Indian Hill

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!

 
Indian Hill Art Reception Memorial Day Weekend
 
Indian Hill Imageworks is pleased to announce a reception celebrating the newest body of photographic artworks by artist Stephen M. Schaub on Saturday, May 29 from 4 to 6 PM. “MAP: the Mobile Art Project” will feature a selection of over thirty exciting artworks springing from a controvertial and wholly unexpected source: the camera cell phone.
 
Can a camera be a person? Can a camera be an extension of our physical being? We are one with technology more now than we have ever been, which begs the question: is the camera phone too utilitarian for such a lofty goal as the creation of art, the very idea akin to trying to make art with your toaster, or your travel alarm clock? Or, does this “new” medium which is always with us- as much as our eyes and ears are- inspire a new manner of artistic perception and working?
 
“MAP” continues Schaub's emotional exploration of our natural environment, the effects of time and the fragmentation of memory. Rich, micro-contrasts and colors couple with unique, in-camera overlapping techniques and manipulated aspect ratios to form an elaborate parallel universe of intense color, light and life.
 
“I love to push at the boundaries of this medium- in different ways of image taking, in developing new, untried ways of processing, in inventing ways of printing on unusual materials,” explains Schaub, “For me, that is part of the creative act: seeing how far we can take a given photographic technology to a new, unexpected place.”
 
This event is free and open to the public; light refreshments will be served. All works on display will be available for purchase, each offered as an edition of one.
 
Indian Hill Imageworks is located on River Road in Pawlet, just off Route 30, three miles north of town center. In addition to the reception, the gallery will be open that day beginning at 10 AM and Sunday by appointment.
