We are pleased to announce "Wistful Thinking", an exhibition of found and original photography by Robert Fougère.
Artist Statement:
In this installation, Fougère continues his exploration of the photographic image as an aesthetic object and cultural artifact. A collection of obscure found, collected and original photographic negatives, provide the source material for a glimpse of post-war optimism, values, furniture and hair-dos, calling to question current post-silicone cultural values, norms and aesthetics. The exhibit aims to acknowledge the ability of the analog photograph to both figuratively and literally outlive the intentions—and subjects—of the original photographer, establishing a haunting undertone hidden beneath nostalgia for old-fashioned ideals.
Curated by Graeme Berglund & Polina Bachlakova
