Photography & Art by: Chris Leombruno, Pierre Letulzo, and Kenyan youth.

A curated exhibition titled Between the Surface, a photographic exchange in response to the use of beauty within contemporary image making. Among other participants, Calvin Lee both reveals and dismantles constructs present within imagery found in daily life, resulting in photographs that are not so readily consumable. In her piece from the series Nami, Kelly Kleinschrodt re-photographs images of waves, engaging with the photographic surface while simultaneously denying the viewer's ability to dismiss its status as a reproduction. Also joining this conversation are Allie Carr, Greg Hayes, Alexis Hudgins, Ivan Iannoli, Ian James, Laura Kim, Sidonie Loiseleux, Lakshmi Luthra, Joanne Mitchell, Job Piston, Maria Schriber, Katie Shapiro, April Totten, Lindsay Tunkl, and Katrina Umber.
