Join us for the Opening Reception and for a special Artists talk between Christopher Churchill and curator Michael Itkoff  on the exhibit 'FAITH'

At Fovea, we often initiate dialogues through our exhibitions on gravely serious topics inherit to social issues.
‘FAITH’ is a physically and emotionally uplifting exhibition and our goal is that ‘FAITH’ will reinforce a sense of community optimism at the close of a difficult economic year.

Presented through black and white photographs and audio interviews, our November exhibition will present an exploration into the different perspectives of faith in America. Every flavor and manifestations of faith is examined, from the mainstream and cult beliefs and culture, to the concept of faith in the existence of aliens, Elvis, and nature.

In producing this work the photographer Christopher Churchill traveled throughout the country without any specific route. He shot black and white with an 8"x10"field camera. His reliance on unrelated events was his guide to different destinations and encounters, placing faith in this process.

The photographs, writings, and audio recordings were made through out the United States from 2004-2009 and show the diversity of our nation and the ways in which we manifest a human need, and faith as a way that we understand our place in the world.

The latest generation to be misunderstood by their elders, according to author Steve Appleford, is the largest in the history of the United States. Numbering twice as many as GenX, the iGeneration, who are now aged 18 to 24, are often characterized, says Appleford, as “spoiled cry-babies and fashionable zombies, plugged into the virtual unreality of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace, BlackBerry, Blu-Ray, Bluetooth, PlayStation 2, Wii, Xbox 360, the iPod, iPhone, iBook, etc.”

Appleford and the photographers of Redux Pictures seek to explore and overturn those cliches in a book and traveling exhibition, American Youth, which opens this Saturday at Fovea Exhibitions in Beacon, NY. Read more from this article on  DART ONLINE.
