Centralia is a photography exhibition by Travis Roozée. The project is named after a town of the same name located in Pennsylvania and it documents an ongoing catastrophic event happening there. Centralia is the site of an underground coal mine fire that has been burning for nearly five decades. The fire started in 1962 at the town dump which ignited a vein of coal connected to the mine. It is estimated that the uncontrolled fire could burn for hundreds of years. Its intense heat burns the ground from below, charring rocks and bleaching vegetation. As of May 2010, Centralia consisted of five homes and nine stubborn residents. Press Release

You Are What You Eat, is a photography exhibition by artist Mark Menjivar. He created a series of portraits made by examining the interiors of refrigerators in homes across the United States. The more time he spent speaking and listening to individual stories while traveling across US, the more he began to think about the foods we consume and the effects they have on us as individuals and communities. Each fridge is photographed “as is”. Nothing added, nothing taken away. A refrigerator is both a private and a shared space. Menjivar’s hope is that we will think deeply about how we care for our bodies, for others, and for the land. Press Release

For more than forty years, Henry has been carrying a small camera around the streets of New York, randomly taking pictures of people.

It is the artist’s intention to document the infinite variety of people, styles, races, ages and expressions that inhabits this city. Press Release

In Made in China the artist uses her camera as if it were an archeologist’s tool, searching for proof of human signs on mass produced items manufactured abroad and shipped to the US. Turner buys these mundane goods in US department stores and bodegas, dusts them for fingerprints and photographs the objects under black lights. This process allows the evidence of ‘someone’s touch’ to emerge, perhaps even that person involved in making and packaging the item. Press Release
