Description

The Glass House: A group photography exhibit exploring Identity

Avenue 25 Gallery presents an exciting group exhibit, The Glass House, featuring the work of fine art photographers from the Peninsula Photographic Arts Guild (PPAG). This exhibit, to be held at Avenue 25 Gallery runs from May 2 through June 27. There will be a reception open to the public on Friday, May 2 from 3-5pm.

PPAG is an organization consisting of photographers in the Bay Area who are dedicated to the promotion of Fine Art Photography, exploring and encouraging innovation within the medium.

The fluidity of identity may be more prevalent now than ever before with the inception of social media, security infringements, identity theft and challenging cultural identities. In all of this malaise, what constitutes identity? Is it clearly defined or a less translucent quality? The Glass House will explore these questions in the form of photographic narratives, theories and concepts in order to gain an understanding into the degree in which we are identified. In an impeccably clean windowed house we wear our identities exposed to all. However, sometimes the glass is fogged creating a mask that confuses or clouds one’s perception of self or other’s. When the glass becomes opaque identity is abandoned or forcefully taken, harmfully damaging.
Living in a vast web of social interconnections, identity is no longer expressed in simple terms. By considering each photographic narrative we are asked to reflect on the complexity of identities and to challenge our ideals and perhaps reconcile to coexist with the diversities.

Photographers participating in the exhibit are Linda Barsotti, Gino DeGrandis, Barry Fleisher, Martha Ketterer, David Massolo, Mary Scarpetti and Tom Watson.

Avenue 25 Gallery is located on the 2nd floor at 32 West 25th Avenue, San Mateo and is a part of the San Mateo Library System. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 9 – 5.
