Andrew Moore "Detroit"
Yancey Richardson Gallery
This event has ended.
Yancey Richardson Gallery presents Detroit, the gallery's fifth solo show by New York-based photographer Andrew Moore. The exhibition, the result of seven trips made to Detroit over the past two years, continues Moore's use of architecture as a way to explore the themes of history, culture and time.
Several of the gallery exhibition's photographs are characterized by a hint of Surrealism, with things jarringly out of place or come alive. The ruined ornamental architecture of a former movie palace, the UA Theater, suggests the fantastic labyrinthine structures of Piranesi, an early influence on the Surrealists.
Moore's previous projects include colonial and modernist Havana, the war-damaged buildings of Sarajevo, post-Cold War Russia, the old theaters of New York's 42nd Street and the consumer-laden vertical landscape of the new Times Square.
