In contrast, the images in this exhibition, which were made in Sun Valley, Rhode Island, and New York, are more spontaneous. But like her later photographs, these early works illuminate the subtle interactions and psychological tensions that occur among family and friends even in moments of leisure – at weddings and on squash courts, at the beach, waterpark, or a ski race. Born in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1970, the artist Rob Davis has spent the past six years making paintings that mine his childhood memories – specifically those from ages five to …

Gallery Walk: Flavia’s Junquiera – The Absurd and the Grace
Brazilian artist Flávia Junquiera’s poetic photographs pay homage to monumental architecture and the ephemeral essence of childhood. Dreamlike and playful, Junquiera creates carefully staged site-specific installations and then captures them on film. Imagine grand theaters filled with balloons, a lone and riderless carousel horse intruding upon an ornate library, balloons and bubbles littering the grounds and floating above Rio de Janeiro’s Parque Lage. Infused with a sense of wonder, Junquiera captures a nostalgic vision that dwells in the magical realm of childhood. Each photograph not only commemorates an installation but also celebrates the lightness and brightness of the unexpected.
