Blink of an Eye is an exhibition of Bryce Lankard’s archival ink prints from film negatives which investigate the moments and places that one takes for granted, assumes will always be around… and then, in the blink of an eye, can disappear. The events surrounding both 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina brought this project into a deeper personal focus for the artist due to his long-standing connection with both of these unique cities.
This sense of apparent sudden loss can be applied to physical objects, such as buildings or cities, and even to concepts like summertime, mortality and youth. Lankard is drawn to quiet moments, childhood icons, off-seasons, and solitude, even amidst activity. By using the softer, gauzier perspective of cheap plastic cameras, these images contain a bit of that sense of nostalgia and sentimentality.
There will be an opening reception on July 10 from 5pm to 7pm, which is free and open to the public.
