Greenwich Resident to Exhibit at New Gallery in Black Rock
The work of longtime Greenwich resident and photographer Annika Klein will be featured in an upcoming exhibition at the Gallery at Black Rock, a new art space in Bridgeport's up-and-coming Black Rock area. The show, entitled "Connecticut Eye," will be a mélange of four Connecticut photographers, each with a very different vision. Klein studied photography in London and New York City before receiving her BFA from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2007.
In her work, Klein has focused on photographing subjects from real life, using photography as both an artistic and documentary tool. Language plays a large role in Klein's photographs, which often contain writing in the form of signs and billboards. As she puts it, "I am drawn to words, and I choose text that catches my attention because of its humor and ability to complement the visual image."
Klein will exhibit black and white photographs taken while living abroad in London, in an area called New Cross. As she explains, "Although London is a major tourist destination, most visitors stay within the central zone and do not venture to more remote areas like New Cross. I found the area of New Cross to be an interesting and exciting place to photograph, due to its low profile and abundance of language in the form of graffiti and flyers."
The opening reception for "Connecticut Eye" will take place on Saturday January 24 from 6 to 9 PM. The show will run through March 7th. For additional information call 203.814.6856.
