Backwoods Gallery is proud to present ‘NY/LA and other American Adventures’ a retrospective journey and a portrait of contemporary American society, telling a story that is both fact and fiction.
This abstract portrayal of the American way of life weaves together day to day experiences and encounters that span two decades.
LA’s gaping wide roads and obscurely narrow footpaths confirm the dominance of the motor vehicle. The city is shrouded in smog, but the bright sunshine makes you forget. In New York, a different pace and feeling. A city of people and interaction. Faces all day on the crowded footpaths, vibrant and engaged.
Events | Where: Melbourne, VIC
The contrast between America’s two largest cities feeds a desire to look beneath the surface at the fringes of American society for further understanding.
Shot over numerous trips from 1990 – 2010, Josh Robenstone’s NY/LA and other American Adventures will be on display at Backwoods Gallery from Friday the 20th of August until September 1st 2010.
Please join us for the opening reception of ‘NY/LA and other American Adventures’ by Josh Robenstone on Friday 20th August 2010, from 6pm.
