In Review’s 10 photographers seem deeply immersed in thoughts about the fragility of the human condition and the slipperiness of reality. The photographers are also into taxonomies – groups of barns, humans, animals, buildings, teenagers and more. The show, at Gallery 339, is full of quirky and sometimes hallucinatory imagery.
Gallery 339’s 10-artist summer show, In Review, doesn’t quite come together as a statement about contemporary photography—the fluffy press release extols the work’s “lively, complex, and intelligent dialogue about meaningful issues.” Nonetheless, the uniformly polished work is attractive and occasionally insightful.
