Fwd: Squint Invite

<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV></DIV>Squinting narrows our field of vision allowing us to see more
<DIV></DIV>selectively by excluding parts of the visible world. Having our eyes
<DIV></DIV>half closed heightens our perception of the world according to our
<DIV></DIV>disposition. The artists included in Squint visualize latent
<DIV></DIV>relationships to our surroundings. The resulting photographs are a
<DIV></DIV>fresh approach to the depiction of interior and exterior landscapes.
<DIV></DIV>The work probes our capacity to relate; how we place ourselves in
<DIV></DIV>the world physically and psychologically. The dichotomy between
<DIV></DIV>private/public, interior/exterior, body/mind creates tension as well
<DIV></DIV>as synchronicity. Whether looking at a nightscape, landscape,
<DIV></DIV>industrial wasteland, or domestic scene, we find that despite the
<DIV></DIV>visual boundaries, the images correspond to one another in an
<DIV></DIV>emotional and sensory way.
