fotofoto gallery is proud to present an exhibition of photographs by student photographers from Long Island and New York schools. Of the Gallery’s twenty-one artists, eleven are photography teachers representing The International Center of Photography, Long Island University CW Post, Nassau Community College, Suffolk County Community College, the Knox School, and Wantagh High School. Each teacher selected two students to be included in the show. Students and their mentors reviewed portfolios making sure to select the very best possible imagery for this exhibition. Students were asked to prepare one framed piece for the month long show. As the semester draws to a close, dedicated students look forward to showing their work in a beautiful gallery space and sharing the excitement of an opening reception with family and friends. In addition to our invited student photographers, fotofoto will feature work from our 6 resident student artists. They are: Mickey Aloisio, Geng Jie, Ali Neisen, Melissa Pelliccia, Susan Sandoval, and Jessica Venier. Prizes for winning images will be selected by the Gallery’s non-teaching artists.
The reception is free and open to the general public. Visit fotofotogallery.org for additional information.

In Whisper Loudly, Patricia Beary presents compelling images from European cemeteries. Narratives are exposed in the artifacts and architecture of memorials often in ruin. Each image solicits inquiry. Questions will outnumber answers as the viewer interprets incongruous relics. In a setting honoring the dead, life is revealed.
Tulips….the flower that is fun to kiss and the bulb that uses no electricity yet lights up your garden and your spirits is the subject of this photography exhibition at fotofoto gallery in May 2014. No wonder fine art photographer, Holly Gordon, has been so focused on this photogenic garden favorite throughout the decades. This upbeat exhibition exalts the glorious tulips that have been photographed throughout Holly’s worldwide travels from Monet’s garden in Giverny to our Long Island flowerbeds and places in between.
Public reception is free on May 3, 2014 from 5 – 7pm.

Youmans - Feuerstein - O'Connor
2014-02-28 - 2014-03-31
Lois Youmans: In her recent work, Vitreous Humor, Lois Youmans returns to photographing dolls. However, the battered antique dolls are now accompanied by medical illustrations from 1916. the illustrations are brightly colored, simple to understand, and unintentionally funny. The pairing of these objects results in strangely whimsical imagery without any pretense of having a deeper meaning.
Barry Feuerstein: In Waiting for Godot Feurerstein states, “Abstract Art is the essence and an intrinsic part of all art. A painting or photograph may appear to represent something tangible and “real,” but the nature of Abstract Art is to go beyond the real to depict an object as a combination of color, texture & form. The spirituality and transcendence of the images are but a fleeting moment in time, an existential experience.”
Thom O’Connor: Hung Out to Dry is a colorful, playfully-engaging series of images of shadows of pedestrians, informally assembled on a clothesline. Shadow People, hung out to dry.

Richard Gardner & Michelle Carollo - SPARKBOOM Kick Off Event
2013-04-05 08:00 - 2013-04-26 17:00
New York Underground
Photographs by Richard Gardner
The main objective of the artist/photographer Richard Gardner is to translate explicit reality, that which is perceived by the naked eye, into a new personal truth – a reality implicit through the subconscious.
New York City and especially its subway has always been a gritty, blurry tableau. This artist bears witness to urban humanity struggling to avoid eye contact and striving to remain autonomous within a densely populated and unnaturally constricted space. The imagery is inherently grainy and strikingly high-contrast, and the complexity of this theme begs the use of the black and white medium.
All of the images for this exhibit are printed on aluminum plates. In each photograph, where the artist excludes imagery, crafting white space, the space is replaced and reality subtly altered through the introduction of an inorganic material. Through this medium, a biomechanical energy is imbued thus enhancing the artist’s vision of a consciously disconnected, present-day dystopia.

In A Split
Installation by Michelle Carollo
In this exhibition, Carollo presents In A Split, a work which functions as both installation and wall hanging, with numerous elements of aluminum, plastic, metal and wood protruding out into the gallery space. The piece primarily abstract in vein, is meant to highlight questions of boundaries both literal and figurative asking viewers to navigate contours of the edge.

April 6, 2013 is the kickoff event for SPARKBOOM held at the fotofoto gallery. fotofoto gallery is one of twelve partners committed to highlighting the high level of innovative artistic and cultural resources surrounding the Huntington hub. SPARKBOOM is a collective initiative to create vibrant events and opportunities that foster Long Island’s emerging creative talent. April – September, 2013
