Untitled (Kapuzinerberg), detail
domogallery is please to announce Marisa Baumgartner as the next exhibition at domogallery at 447 Springfield Avenue, Summit, NJ. This will be the artist’s first solo show with domogallery.
Marisa Baumgartner’s images speak of the overwhelming diminutive yet expansive sensation of self that is caused by the vastness of space, society and history. A distancing is employed to speak of something deeply personal in a universal way, placing a screen between the subject and the viewer as a psychological apparatus. These images are also largely about photography itself, an attempt at deconstructing abstraction in an art historical context and painterly manner via the camera. Embracing the new medium of the digital they attempt to understand where photography places itself in the world today. Marisa Baumgartner received her Master of Fine Arts from Yale University School of Art in May of 2006 and her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography from The Rhode Island School of Design in June of 2002. She has also worked for photographers Torkil Gudnason and David Seidner and has exhibited in Providence, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, New Haven and UC Davis in Davis, California. Marisa currently resides between New York City and Salzburg, Austria.
Marisa Baumgarnter will be on view at domogallery, 447 Springfield Avenue, Summit, New Jersey 07901, 908-608-0079, October 17 through November 25, 2006. Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 12 – 5
