In conjunction with CONTACT Photography Festival, the Alison Milne Gallery presents Anthony Macri’s Altered Perspectives.You are invited to the opening receptionWednesday, May 8th from 6pm-9pm.

Altered Perspectives is Macri’s most recent body of work, as part of his on-going investigation of the transforming landscape of North American culture. Beautifully toned lith prints and solarized photographs of air crafts, oil refineries, and remnants of the once proud automobile industry reveal the disregarded conduct of North American transformation as it endures economic strife and societal shifts.

This collection of photographs exhumes skeletons of eras passed, in an ecological survey of the landscape scarred by the passage of mankind. Anthony has been chasing bone yards across the United States for six years.

OPENING RECEPTION:
Wednesday, May 8, 6pm – 9pm.
RSVP to gallery@alisonmilne.com
EXHIBITION DATES:
MAY 8 – JUNE 22, 2013
GALLERY HOURS:
Wednesday – Saturday, 12-6pm.
