Gallery Opening: America Unfiltered: Portraits and Voices of a Nation

Sat, Feb 14 | 3-5pm

Wanting to understand a fractured country with a rancorous election underway during a wave of gun violence, two immigrant filmmakers, one from Panama and the other from Russia, journey across the United States revealing an unfiltered, unflinching portrait of America. The filmmakers traveled for nine months in a Mini-Cooper listening to people and recording their stories about what it’s like to live in America today. America Unfiltered draws from a series of raw and emotional encounters on topics ranging from politics and gun control to race and immigration. Learn more.

Gallery Opening: PRINCETON?UNEXPECTED

Sat, Feb 14 | 3-5pm

Alan Chimacoff perspective as a photographer is shaped by his knowledge, as an architect, of real and illusory space, and a love of materials. Seeking abstraction in the constructed, natural and ordinary, Chimacoff’s photographs explore the explicit geometries as well as the faceted, ambiguous spatial characteristics of cubism—confounding the obvious in a push toward the non-objective. A unique underlying geometric structure unifies each photograph. Learn more.
