Greer Muldowney has turned her camera on Hong Kong, the most densely populated urban center in the world with 6,426 people per square kilometer.

A series of her photographs, 6,426 per km² , is featured in The Atelier Gallery at the Stoneham Theatre in Stoneham, MA, September 11 through November 12. A reception with the artist is October 19, 6:30-8 p.m. The exhibit is courtesy of Gallery Kayafas in Boston.

It runs parallel to the theater’s productions of Lumberjacks in Love and Double Indemnity.

“The reality of sustainable practices, depletion of resources and a shifting global power paradigm pervade media involving China, and its Western syndicate territory, Hong Kong,” says Muldowney. “By making imagery here, I ask viewers to contemplate these issues, but to also see these places as homes, not statistics. ”

“These photographs do not propose a reality so different from the spin of contemporary media, but ask an audience on the other side of the world, the Western world, to reflect on whether these images provide a surrogate for wonderment or trepidation for a changing global climate and future,” she says.

Muldowney is an artist and photography professor based in Boston. She has a degree in political science and studio art from Clark University and a master of fine arts degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She has worked for photographers Stephen DiRado and Henry Horenstein, and acted as the curator for the Desotorow Gallery in Savannah, GA, and as an assistant curator at the Panopticon Gallery in Boston. Muldowney is represented by Gallery Kayafas in Boston.

She currently teaches at the New Hampshire Institute of Art and the New England Institute of Art. Her work has been exhibited and published in the United States, Hong Kong, Malaysia and France.

Floor Plan

Amy Rindskopf's Terra Novus

At the market, I pick each one up, pulled in by the shapes as they sit together, waiting. I feel its heft in my hand, enjoy the textures of the skin or peel, and begin to look closer and closer. The patterns on each individual surface marks them as distinct. I push further still, discovering territory unseen by the casual observer, a new land. I am like a satellite orbiting a distant planet, taking the first-ever images of this newly envisioned place.

This project started as an homage to Edward Weston’s Pepper No. 30 (I am, ironically, allergic to peppers). As I looked for my subject matter at the market, I found that I wasn’t drawn to just one single fruit or vegetable. There were so many choices, appealing to both hand and eye. I decided to print in black and white to help make the images visually more about the shapes, and not about guessing which fruit is smoothest, which vegetable is greenest.

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Tricia Gahagan

 

Photography has been paramount in my personal path of healing from disease and

connecting with consciousness. The intention of my work is to overcome the limits of the

mind and engage the spirit. Like a Zen koan, my images are paradoxes hidden in plain

sight. They are intended to be sat with meditatively, eventually revealing greater truths

about the world and about one’s self.

 

John Chervinsky’s photography is a testament to pensive work without simple answers;

it connects by encouraging discovery and altering perspectives. I see this scholarship

as a potential to continue his legacy and evolve the boundaries of how photography can

explore the human condition.

 

Growing my artistic skill and voice as an emerging photographer is critical, I see this as

a rare opportunity to strengthen my foundation and transition towards an established

and influential future. I am thirsty to engage viewers and provide a transformative

experience through my work. I have been honing my current project and building a plan

for its complete execution. The incredible Griffin community of mentors and the

generous funds would be instrumental for its development. I deeply recognize the

hallmark moment this could be for the introduction of the work. Thank you for providing

this incredible opportunity for budding visions and artists that know they have something

greater to share with the world.
