The exhibition features William Arnold's mixed media pieces from The Anlix Expedition: Stage One which focus on the provisions from the onset of the journey and the transformation during the course of the expedition; Artemisa Clark's 3-channel video explores the ability to endure physical stress in order to maintain an ideal; Alexandra Diczok's color photographs explore the alienation, longing and comfort that grows from the experience of watching others; Megan Fingleton's Cambodia: Casualties of War explores the landmine crisis in Cambodia post-Pol Pot's regime with the Khmer Rouge; Ashley Fischer's photographs of the Applegate Valley in Oregon depict the poetic relationship between man and nature in a small rural community; Catherine Gargan's large format photographs of zombies, in the style of "B Rated" horror movies from the late 80's early 90's, question the labels of good and evil; Elena Getto presents color photographs of women in dynamically lit environments; Benjamin Jarosch's black and white documentary photographs depict the edginess and intimacy of New York City's BMX subculture; Laura Kaltman's images draw inspiration from readings in Zen philosophy and depict various women within a sparse, surreal world somewhere between the realm of fantasy and reality; Sophie Lvoff's color photographs call attention to airplanes in the landscape and shows the beauty regarding these man-made machines; Veronica O'Hern's gathering of assemblages show that big things don't matter without little things; Veronica Torres' large format portraits stem from her fantasies and portray individuals who are about to embark on voyages of self-reflection and awareness, amidst symbolically infused circumstances. And lastly, Abraham Zimroth's black and white photographs show the more subtle moments of nature often miss or overlooked by most and focus on a moment in time and the life of a tree.
