Through these images he shares his feelings, weighs the value of nostalgia and celebrates the staged, the fictitious, and the performed. Real to Me is also a sincere, peculiar, joyful, delirious, and real family portrait. Hernease Davis: Recapitulation Sep 2–Oct 23, 2021 Brooklyn based artist Hernease Davis will present new multi-media work with silk cyanotypes, sound installation, and silver gelatin prints. Recapitulation refers to an element of musical theory, where a musical theme is presented again later on, after its initial appearance. It can also mean an act of summarizing, restating the main points of an idea or event. Fusing these notions of restarting and renewing, this exhibition looks to personal modes of processing, calming, and coping as a means of confronting personal experiences of trauma. Radial Survey, Vol. II Nov 4, 2021–Feb 19, 2022 Radial Survey is a biennial exhibition of the preeminent emerging and mid-career photo based artists working within 300 miles of Pittsburgh. Our goal is to highlight work and support artists from places that are sometimes overlooked in the national photography conversation. After dozen studio visits and working with curatorial consultants from across the radius, for this second iteration of the biennial we have identified a group of eight outstanding artists from across the radius whose work explores how their personal identities intersect with the histories of places they are from, and where they work.  Save the date for an opening gala on Thursday, November 4th, 2021!  Copyright © 2021 Silver Eye Center for Photography All rights reserved.
