Join us on Thursday, August 14, 5:00 to 7:00 PM ET, for an Artist talk with Fran Forman beginning at 6:00 PM

Fran Forman will share the inspiration and process behind Theatre of the Absurd, her haunting new series that examines the illusion of normalcy under authoritarian rule.

Blending original source material, photography, AI, and a personalized dataset, Fran layers symbolic elements—mimes, clowns, ominous skies, and musicians playing to no one—into richly textured visual narratives. “This is not mere historical reflection,” she says, “but a visual warning.”

We invite you to join us for what promises to be a thought-provoking conversation about the state of the world—and the evolving role of AI in art.

We look forward to seeing you, but for those who can’t make it to the gallery, Theatre of the Absurd is available to view online at the Workspace Gallery web page.

At the WORKSPACE GALLERY, please join us on Thursday, July 10, 5:00 – 7:00 PM  for the opening of Theatre of the Absurd: Images by Fran Forman.

In Theatre of the Absurd, Fran has created these images using a combination of photography and AI. Inspired by the history of post–World War II Eastern Europe, the series explores the tension between individual freedom and authoritarian control.

Through symbolic figures, surreal settings, and quiet, ambiguous moments, the images reflect how fear, isolation, and distraction can shape a society. Clowns, mimes, and deserted performances suggest a world where appearances conceal deeper truths. Theatre of the Absurd invites viewers to reflect on the subtle forces that shape our perceptions—and the importance of staying vigilant, engaged, and connected.

I had the opportunity to print 60 images for By the Tide, a new exhibition by Edward Boches now on view at WELLFLEET PRESERVATION HALL.

For the past six years, Edward has been photographing Wellfleet’s shellfishing community—documenting the people, the place, and the process behind raising, growing, and harvesting oysters and clams. The result is a powerful and deeply respectful portrait of a working community that connects us to the tides and traditions of Cape Cod.

The Opening Reception & Community Celebration will be Wednesday, July 16, 5:00 – 7:30 PM, for this tribute to the people who make a living from the sea—and help sustain a vital part of Wellfleet’s identity.

I look forward to seeing you at the openings—and sharing these remarkable exhibitions with you.

We added a gallery of our new show, Good Trouble: To the Streets. This show is a powerful photographic exhibition documenting the visual legacy of protest in today’s America as captured by photographer Kevin McKeon.

With raw urgency and striking intimacy, these images bear witness to the collective resistance of our time—Black Lives Matter protests, Women’s March, LGBTQ+ pride movements, and the rising surge of “Hands Off” demonstrations. In every frame, we see people rising—fighting injustice, demanding dignity, and, as the late John Lewis urged, making Good Trouble.

Each photograph is more than a snapshot; it is a testimony. These are the signs, faces, and streets that shaped a movement—and continue to inspire.

Please join us on Saturday, December 7th & 14th, 2:00 – 5:00 PM ET, for our Open House and Smalls Print Sale.

Interested in how photography can connect us to each other, Inspired by Place, is a collection of images by documentary photographer Edward Boches.

The exhibit brings together three distinct projects, Women of Wellfleet, a collection portraying women shellfishermen and foragers who make a living off of the tide and the land; Postcards from Allston, documenting the change and gentrification transforming a gritty Boston neighborhood; and Somewhere Along the Curve, that recall the emptiness of Boston during the Covid lockdown of 2020.

“What attracted me to this combination,” explains gallery owner Bob Korn, “is that all three projects are about what happens or is happening in these places. They’re incredibly different, in both style and execution, but place is an important subject in each of them.”

“I liked Bob’s idea when he approached me,” said Boches. “He saw a unifying factor I’d never really thought about. Place wasn’t the driving idea motivating me, but it was clearly a constant presence.”

We look forward to seeing you on Friday, November 8, 4:00 – 7:00 PM ET, at the Workspace Gallery, 3 Main St / Unit 16, Eastham, Cape Cod, MA, for an inspiring evening of photography, community, and an opportunity to talk with Edward  about his creative processes and inspirations behind the imagery in Inspired by Place.

Our current show Places is open Monday thru Thursday, 11:00 am – 4:00 pm.

Featuring the works of Justin Garvin and Robert von Thaden, Places invites us to explore familiar sentiments through their photography. Justin Garvin’s focus on lesser-traveled corners of the US illuminates the lives of its inhabitants, offering narratives often overlooked. In contrast, Robert von Thaden’s journey captures the essence of homecoming, reflecting the comforting familiarity of Cape Cod after time spent in California.
