Adrienne Moumin will be exhibiting her handmade gelatin silver photo collages in “Architextures,” at The Great Hall of First Presbyterian Church, 5th Avenue at 11th Street, New York, NY 10011. The show runs from February 3 through March 1, 2010. An opening reception will take place on Sunday, February 14 from 12:00 to 2:00PM, and an artist’s talk with wine & cheese will be held on Thursday, February 11, at 6:30PM. Gallery Hours are Mondays 11-2, Wednesdays 11-1, and Fridays 12:30-4.

Moumin’s hand-cut-and-assembled gelatin silver photo collages reveal her fascination with architectural landmarks and landscapes. While at first the works may appear to be digital montages, closer inspection reveals the texture and layering inherent in the handmade pieces. Moumin hand-prints multiples of each photograph in a traditional wet darkroom, then cuts and rearranges pieces of the paper prints. Each collage represents a memory or impression of an architectural landmark or landscape as Moumin experiences it.
