FIRST FRIDAY at Desotorow Gallery and TruSpace- a desotorow gallery

Desotorow and TruSpace will each be displaying MFA Photography Thesis Shows on Friday, November 7th. The artists, Bevin Valentine in Desotorow Gallery, and Kate Lewis in TruSpace Gallery will be hosting opening receptions Friday evening, 7-10pm. These First Friday shows will be held in conjunction with Starland’s First Friday events including Desotorow’s HOLIDAY Junk in da Trunk Craft Show, Back in the Day Bakery’s Cupcake Happy Hour, and Starland Café’s photo exhibit opening reception.

Kate Lewis’ exhibit, Mise-en-Scéne, explores the perception of identity as formed through the psychological impact of individual life experience. Through the signifiers of visual language and photography, Mise-en-Scéne questions the validity of one’s assumed identity received and projected, while suggesting that identity encompasses a multifaceted transient existence. Lewis’ carbon-pigment print photographs were taken using a 4x5 camera. One exposure represents the artist clothed, while the next exposure represents the artist naked attempting to align her body in the same position. The exhibition will run November 7-12 in TruSpace Gallery, 2423 De Soto Ave, Savannah, GA.

Bevin Valentine’s exhibit, in Desotorow Gallery, is entitled Who Knows How to Make Love Stay. Valentine’s photographs are a collection of self-portraits that reference literary heroines in an exploration of the portrayal of romantic love throughout the history of literature. On Friday, November 7 at 6:30pm, Bevin Valentine will lead an artist lecture in Desotorow Gallery, discussing her work with the community. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be followed by an opening reception at 7pm.
