"Rust Belt" Solo Exhibition of Photographs by Sean Hemmerle February 15, 2013

In Sean Hemmerle’s poignant photographs of theatres, banks, factories, and dilapidated houses in the “Rust Belt” the architecture becomes symbolic of societal issues that have been ignored for decades. Hemmerle’s stunning photos create a visual language—the texture of flaking paint, broken windows and the shiny reflections in pools of frozen water inside of vast industrial buildings— that instills in us a feeling of loneliness felt for these neighborhoods that have all but been forgotten. On view through March 10.
