Artists Talk with Sally Apfelbaum - Aug 18th

On Saturday, August 18th at 5:00pm Bennington,VT photographer Sally Apfelbaum will be giving a public artists talk about her current images on exhibit at VCP.

In this 25-year retrospective at The Vermont Center for Photography, Bennington/NYC, Sally Apfelbaum exhibits 30 photographs, photograms, and paintings made between 1987 and 2012.

With subjects that range from New York’s Ellis Island and upstate forests to Monet’s garden in Giverny, France, Apfelbaum uses multiple exposure techniques in her photographs that isolate and recombine basic elements of color, focus, horizon line, motion, and distance. Her process of mingling layer upon layer of information creates the suggestion of shifts in perception, memory, and time—and spaces that are at once believable and engaging, yet ephemeral and invented.

Sally’s work is shown and represented in collections internationally.  She has received several French Cultural Services Grants, the Giverny Grant to live and work in Giverny, at Monet’s garden, a Percent for Art Commission from the General Services Administration, Wash. D.C. to create a series of mural prints for the Veterans Affairs Building in Lower Manhattan, and, Arts in Transit commissions from the Metropolitan Transit Authority, NYC, and Metro, St. Louis, MO.

She has taught as a Visiting Artist at Middlebury College, at Cooper Union, Parsons School of Design, and the School of Visual Arts, NYC.

The talk will be FREE and open to the public. Please come out and show your support for this magnificent artist!

See you all then!
