Almanac: Annual Member-Run Exhibition

19 Jul, 2024 - 03 Aug, 2024

An almanac brings to mind seasons, celestial cycles and terrestrial forecasts鈥攁n assembly of disparate pieces of information, once seemingly disconnected, converge to bring new patterns to light鈥攑resenting observations of the past with anticipation for the future.

In this survey of images, there is something suspended between them鈥攕omething that is just out of reach鈥攐ur eyes looking for patterns, our minds wanting to rest on a theme to bind them together鈥攁 satisfying mystery: in obscured faces and hazy silhouettes, in glowing orbs of light, in abstraction and in eerie portals that beckon us in.

But what truly connects these images is the fact that they were chosen. Each contributing Gallery 44 member chose an image鈥攖hey are proud of, interested in, working with, or working through; a visual compilation of observations, thoughts, themes, inspirations and curiosities鈥攖o represent the past year. It is a record of seemingly tangential pieces that coalesce into a greater whole to describe our collective past, to help us understand our present, a premonition of what may come based on what has been.
