Opening Reception for 'Sorry, No Pictures' Photo Exhibition

Sorry, No Pictures is many things: It’s 20 years of photography-based work; a memoir; a skillful meshing of visual and text-based pieces; and an inspirational narrative of perseverance as a maker. Sorry, No Pictures explores the artist’s relationship with the medium, and specifically with its ever-evolving technology, over time. The complexity and sophistication of her work mirrors Gould, who as a visual artist, educator, writer, lecturer, and mother has lived many lives all at once. Sorry, No Pictures offers a beautiful, oftentimes laugh-out-loud funny, and ultimately hopeful narrative that art-making, by its nature, involves failure, change, and transcendence.

The exhibition will open December 1, 6-9pm, at Tube Factory Artspace, with Meggan Gould at hand to answer questions and talk with you about the work. The exhibition will be on view at Tube Factory through January 15, 2024.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Meggan Gould will give a free anthotype demonstration Saturday, December 2, from 1pm-4pm. Gould will demo the basics of the process, in which photo-sensitive emulsions are made from plants and exposed in the sun. All necessary materials and equipment will be available for free on site. This activity is best suited for artists 7+ years old; minors must be accompanied by an adult. The demo is free and open to the public. RSVP required. Please email info@auroraphoto.org to RSVP and with any questions.
