Gary Duehr
“People, Places, Things”
This retrospective skims across several decades of making photos, from People on the streets and squeezed in elevators; to Places behind the scenes or blurred by speed; to Things including messy car interiors and handwritten notes in public.
A woman cradles flowers on a city street. Sunset sweeps across an LA intersection. A Panama hat and tiger-striped seat covers suggest a safari in Provincetown.
There is often tension between the camera’s nailing of details and an expressive vision that grabs moments flitting by. The choice of subjects is expansive, even whimsical. To the typical question asked of photographers what they take pictures of, the answer here is: “Anything that catches my eye.”

Nomads Art Collective
”Rio: Flow”
"Riu" is a curated group exhibition spotlighting Asian-American artists and their friends with diverse backgrounds and heritage working in painting, fiber, sculpture and ceramic. The group includes not only the artists who carry genetic traits from the geological Asia, but also those who embrace their influential connections with Asian culture through their life experiences.
The project explores themes of identity, migration, spiritual human connection, and cultural influence through tactile forms. The exhibition will feature 8-10 artists and include 2 artist talks, sharing personal stories and creative processes.
This exhibition will create intergenerational dialogue around diverse American life experiences and engage the public with interdisciplinary artistic practices.
