Paul Meleschnig "Spar: Photographs from Cuba"
Steven Kasher Gallery
This event has ended.
Steven Kasher Gallery is proud to present Spar: Photographs from Cuba by Paul Meleschnig Included in the exhibition are over twenty gelatin silver prints. In his recurring travels to Cuba between 1997 and 2009, Meleschnig captured boxers and their everyday life of physical training. Gymnasium, ring and street collectively unfold the lives of young men in a sort of visual poem.
Through Spar we are offered a viewpoint from which to contemplate contemporary Cuban life. There is an unveiling of restless, frustrated, and resilient youths exercising their voice and fist. One theme is sport as distraction in a suppressive culture.
Paul Meleschnig lives and works in New York. He received his Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree from Rhode Island School of Design and he has exhibited his photographs in Cuba and the United States.
