To create this exhibition, curator and exhibiting artist Lukia Costello invited seven other photographers to photograph the same block of Elmwood Avenue in North Buffalo– filled with strip malls and abandoned lots. Examining the multiplicity of ways in which artists can portray a subject, the exhibition demonstrates the personal nature of photography and the uniqueness of each person's vision.
"I want to call attention to the unique perspective of the photographer and show how photography is completely personal due to the temporal and physical nature of the art form," says Costello.
In an unusual twist to the typical art exhibition, the public is invited to submit their photographs of this ordinary city block of Elmwood between Kenmore and Hertel avenues, for display at Gallery 141B on December 1 during Allentown's Gallery Walk. To learn more about submitting photographs email photography@lukiacostello.com.
Participating photographers include: Jay Costello, Lukia Costello, Jim Collins, Eric M Jensen, Ken Morgan, Ben O'Brien, Anna Olson and Gene Witkowski.
