Our new show, The Beauty Ritual, is a project by Phyllis Ewen, who began exploring the neighborhood beauty salon in the 1970s as a place where women could be cared for—a respite from the care they so often provided for others. What began at a salon called Dee’s grew to include similar places in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and California.

Looking at these photographs today, the work feels particularly relevant. We talk more openly about caregiving, emotional labor, and the need for connection, but the need to be cared for has not changed. Made nearly 50 years ago, these photographs show how an ordinary neighborhood salon could offer something essential: a place of care, connection, and respite.

I hope you’ll come by to see this work and consider how something photographed nearly 50 years ago can still speak so directly to our lives today.

The Beauty Ritual will be on view through November, with an opening and artist talk on Thursday, October 8, from 5:00–7:00 PM ET.

Do You See What I See? brings together 20 photographs from six very different projects: Andy Epstein’s While Walking, Coco McCabe’s There Is No Mending the Beechwood, Edward Boches’ From the Ground Up, Lee Cott’s Riverview, the Last Days of a Building, Margaret Lampert’s The Way Light Falls, and Elliot Schildkrout’s Dancing with Art.

The subjects and approaches are different, but the process behind them is shared: make photographs, put them in front of people you trust, listen, reconsider, and go back to work. The goal isn’t to make everyone see the same way. It’s to help each photographer see their own work more clearly.

OPENING is on Tuesday, August 25, 5-7 PM

I recently had the great pleasure of being interviewed by Jeff Larason for his podcast, The Crit House.

The Crit House features engaging conversations with photographers about their artistic and creative influences, while exploring the importance of critique and an awareness of the great images and photographers that continue to shape the medium. It was a thoughtful and enjoyable conversation, and I’m grateful to Jeff for the opportunity.

Here’s the link to my interview, along with more information about The Crit House.

Currently showing, UN-Finished, brings together four ongoing photographic projects; Here We Are by Sally Bousquet, Seeking Glory by Edward Boches, Wandering by Jeff Larason, and Transitional Spaces by Dan Weingrod. While distinct in subject and approach, each project reflects a commitment to observation, exploration, and the evolving nature of photographic practice.

Opening for UN-Finished is Tuesday, June 16, 5 – 7 PM.

Because of last week’s nor’easter, we had to postpone the opening of Marc Hauser’s Faces exhibition. These photographs are too meaningful to miss, so please join us for the rescheduled opening on Tuesday, March 10, from 5:00–7:00 PM ET.

Marc Hauser: Faces is an exhibition honoring the work of acclaimed portrait photographer Marc Hauser (1952–2018). Please join us on Tuesday, February 24, 5:00–7:00 PM for an evening of photography, and conversation as we celebrate a remarkable body of work spanning decades of portraiture.

Marc Hauser was widely recognized for his striking, psychologically direct portraits of cultural icons, artists, performers, and everyday people. Working with elegant restraint, he favored simple settings and carefully shaped light, allowing expression, gesture, and presence to define the image. The result is portraiture that feels both immediate and timeless—photographs that invite viewers into a quiet but powerful encounter with the subject.
