Broadway Gallery is pleased to announce the two-person exhibition Space In-Between.
Opening Monday, March 16-31 2009
With an opening reception on Thursday March 19.
Handzo and Cotterell take exceptional interest in the awkward moments between the naïveté of childhood and the challenging foray into young adulthood. Each photographer has chosen a specific ‘structure’ or protagonist to illustrate the subtle nuances indicative of this subject; for Handzo, boy scouts in the forest; for Cotterell, a young artist and skateboarder named Noe.
In an approach both subjective and objective, the portraits in this show both render the two photographers’ personal experiences as viable influences while also portraying a telling document of what it means to be ‘boy’ or ‘teenager.’ Effectively, the delicate color palettes and lyrical sensibilities bring an ethereal quality that mirrors the fleetingness of the time period depicted. These portraits ultimately reflect a little bit of everybody’s personal experience, testing the boundaries of the world around them
