BRANDON, Vt. — This Sunday April 12, Aleshire Gallery will present the opening reception for ANALOG 4 EVA, a group exhibition of film photographers from Vermont and beyond. The show, curated by Creative Director Benjamin Aleshire, brings together 10 photographers including Kevin Bubriski, whose stirring documentary portraits from around the world have been collected by Museum of Modern Art, Yale University, and the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.
In addition to traditional silver gelatin prints, ANALOG 4 EVA includes wet plate collodion tin types by Central VT artist Hannah Carpenter Pitkin, as well as polaroids, cyanotypes, vibrant prints made on hand-coated paper by Pawlet husband and wife duo EveNSteve Schaub, and even an experimental portrait taken on a hand-held scanner, by Rutland artist and musician Nick Grandchamp.
Located in the Granary building at 29 Union Street, Aleshire Gallery held a grand opening in September of last year. Both contemporary art gallery and working studio, the multi-use space has a full darkroom for processing C41 color negatives and printing black and white negatives in 35mm, medium format, and 4x5, as well as a digital media station for scanning, editing, and printing.
Every first Sunday of the month, the gallery hosts a film series called Film Club, which screens offbeat classics such as David Lynch’s “Wild At Heart” and Akira Kurosawa’s “Yojimbo” — and every third Thursday, the gallery hosts a figure drawing session with model.
Curator and Creative Director Benjamin Aleshire was born and raised in Rutland County, and has been awarded fellowships from the Vermont Studio Center and NYU, a Creation Grant from the VT Arts Council, and residencies at the BCA Center and the Generator in Burlington.
ANALOG 4 EVA opens April 12 and will run through June 19.
