Current Exhibition - Malka's Place: A Journey into a Surreal World
A solo exhibition of photographic montages by Joyce Wilson
July 16th - August 27th
Architectural Foundation Gallery
The Architectural Foundation is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition Malka’s Place: A Journey into a Surreal World by Joyce Wilson. The opening reception with the artist and Malka Belzberg, the inspiration for this exhibition, will be held on Friday, July 15th from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at the Architectural Foundation Gallery.
The photographs in this exhibition were inspired by a visit to Malka’s Place. Joyce stepped into a world of unearthly delights like nothing she had seen before. As Joyce explored, she began to dance with her camera, discovering textures and light on weathered walls, capturing abstractions, and documenting stories. Combining her photographs of textures and patterns and portions of Malka’s artworks, Joyce created photomontages to create art that transcends the descriptive. Her images are intended to challenge viewers to focus on provocative and unsettling truths present in Malka’s life and art and in today’s world. Stories accompanying the art appear in the book Malka’s Place which will also be on display with copies for sale in addition to the art.
