Michael Huey "China Cupboard"
Newman Popiashvili Gallery
This event has ended.
Newman Popiashvili Gallery is pleased to present China Cupboard, the second solo exhibition of Michael Huey at the gallery. The exhibition includes images from China Cupboard, a photography series developed over the past decade.
The artist concentrates on themes of loss, legacy, and inventory by reviving found historical photographs and family snapshots, and re-evaluating heirlooms as raw material. Now, extending the practice of working from pre-existing images, Huey goes on to investigate "photography-ready scenes" - landscape views of cupboards and vitrines. He documents personal histories through objects that are at once precious, banal, and private; vistas usually hidden from public view become exposed.
