Listening to the Silence
Exhibit by Stephen Greenberg
Jan 13th - March 5th
Opening Reception at Photoworks:
Saturday, Jan 14th, 5-9pm
This exhibition, with its images and verse, is an attempt to differentiate between History and Memory. “History” is defined here as the more-or-less “official” account of the world, as given to us by some external authority. It is represented here by images of oddly anonymous war monuments, all within 75 miles of the Photoworks Gallery. In contrast, “Memory” is made up of the signposts and benchmarks we find or make for ourselves. Again, the images are local; all were taken within 30 miles of the gallery.
