The Longing

Josh Quigley
Karolina Karlic - "Dear Diary"
September 19th – November 8th, 2008
The lush large scale prints of Josh Quigley and Karolina Karlic radiate a sensuality revealing everyday lives longing for meaning and connection.

Josh studies what he calls the contemporary domestic, staging moments of family experience utilizing the styles and techniques of cinema, neorealism and commercial photography. The resulting images show an amplified intensity of everyday domestic events energized with an undercurrent of sexuality and desire.

Intrigued by the motivations of those that post Internet classifieds through “Missed Connections” on Craig’s List, Karolina Karlic sought out the posters to create her images. Perhaps by helping to complete their need for connection she was able to draw them into collaboration to make photographs of vulnerability and longing in our contemporary world of impersonal Internet communication.

Opening Reception: Friday September 19th, 2008 from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm
Exhibition: September 19th – November 8th, 2008
