Curated by Samuel Fogarino
June 20- August 2, 2008
Opening reception and artist's talk: June 20th, ( 6-9p)
This collection of photographs span twenty-one years of life spent in New York, NYC, and Georgia. Carl Martin's unique awareness and sensitivity to the world around him resonates in the loose comic geometry of this snapshot based body of work. The range of subjects is not limited to a particular typology but, as he describes, is simply what was being seen and the "visceral way things just are". Curated by musician and writer Samuel Fogarino, this massive installation of imagery offers a contemporary view of the living connection to those who have created a life before us. Filled with aliveness, each individual photograph is evidence of the continuation of a celebration composed of many incongruent components.Carl Martin received his degree from The School of Visual Arts in New York. He has exhibited nationally. His work is exhibited in numerous private and public collections including the Museum of Modern Art in NYC, New York and Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, GA. He lives and works in Athens,GA.
