A.I.R. Gallery is holding is 11th Biennial Exhibition, Making and Taking: "Pictures" Reconsidered this December. Curated by Nancy Princenthal, this is an exhibition of thirty-three artists of diverse backgrounds, from the United States, Canada, and Israel. The exhibition will be on view from December 4, 2014-January 3, 2015 during the A.I.R. Gallery's open hours Wednesday-Sunday from 12pm - 6pm. There will be an opening reception on December 4th from 6-9pm.

Nancy Princenthal writes: I found, in (the artwork selected), a widely shared pleasure in mixing the digital and the analog and in violating technical protocols; in reversals, inversions, and shadows, and the representation of things that are not quite there. Photography, for these artists, is often a tool of introspection and of memory; painting a way of gorging on photography, of chewing it up and spitting it back out.

Artists participating in the exhibition are: Temme Barkin-Leeds, Kristi Beisecker, Susan Carnahan, Sophia Chai, Melissa Cowper-Smith, Erin Kyle Danna, Torrie Fox, Margery Freeman Appelbaum, Rose Frisenda, Kristin Furbeck, Karine Giboulo, Shohreh GolAzad, Susan Hambleton, Jasmine Higbee, Monica Hopenwasser, Donna Anderson Kam, Kharis Kennedy, Jessica Maffia, Erika Mahr, Kate McCammon, Ali Miller, Yasaman Moussavi, Josefa Mulaire, Ilona Pachler, Caroline Parks, Rebecca Shavulsky, Amy Swartele, Sarah West, Amanda Wild, Jeanne Wilkinson, Suly Wolff, Greta Young, and Mary Zompetti.

*Please note the gallery will be closed for the holidays 12/23/14-1/1/15
