(ROCHESTER, NY – March 6, 2017) This spring the Photography program at Flower City Arts Center is proud to display Unforeseen Structures, an exhibition of new work by artist Mitch Goldstein. Exhibition Dates: April 14 - May 20, 2017 Opening Reception: Friday, April 14, 6-9pm Artist Talk: Saturday, April 22, 1pm Where: Photography Gallery. Flower City Arts Center, 713 Monroe Avenue, Rochester NY 14607 Who: Open to the public Cost: FREE Unforeseen Structures is artist Mitch Goldstein's examination of emergent form using darkroom photography techniques, specifically the photogram. Photograms use no cameras or lenses — instead, objects are placed on or near unexposed photographic paper and briefly exposed to light. This process results in abstract black and white compositions, which emerge unpredictably from the physical materials used in their creation. Goldstein relinquishes control, relying instead on intuition and chance to allow form and structure to develop from the process. “I came across Mitch Goldstein’s photograms on his Instagram feed (@mgoldst) and immediately contacted him to exhibit here at the Center. This will be the first time these prints will be exhibited physically and not “liked” on a screen. As the only community darkroom left in the city it’s important this work is exhibited here. I’m thrilled to share Unforeseen Structures with our community, members, and students.” — Megan Charland, Photography Program Manager at Flower City Arts Center ### About Mitch Goldstein Mitch Goldstein is an artist and designer based in upstate New York, where he teaches in the School of Design at Rochester Institute of Technology.
