...CLIK,  A TRIGGER HAPPY PHOTOGRAPHY SHOW
Project Room: Tribute to Carlos Gallardo (1944-2008)
January 31st - February 28th, 2009

In this exhibition we are exploring photography as a medium and as a way of expression. Through this selection of photographs we can see how each artist approaches the medium from a different point of view and how each of them sees a dissimilar image through their lens. Some artists offer an intimate view of their lives while others take on political overviews and social themes. The list of photographers includes an international roster with outstanding names such as Alfred Jaar and Vick Muniz to gallery artists such as Gory, Gian Paolo Minelli, Santiago Porter and Pablo Soria; to young locals like Rickee Mahoney.

In the project room we will present a tribute to the late Carlos Gallardo (1944-2008).  He was a very well-know Argentinean artist whose work reflected themes such as displacement and migration. His oeuvre had an intimate and personal quality, created mostly by his use of mementos such as letters and personal objects. Gallardo’s extensive artistic trajectory included his participation in prestigious biennials and significant solo exhibitions in prominent institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires and the Art Museum of the Americas, Washington DC, among others. Gallardo was represented by Pan American Art Projects, where he held a solo exhibition in 2007.
