Silk Rose & Sneakers
Exhibition of Works by Billy & Hells and Susan A. Barnett Photographers
September 14th – October 23rd, 2014

On the surface they appear the most unlikely of choices for a duo-solo exhibition, what they both possess however, is an edgy iconographic style. There exists an inherent playfulness that may sometimes include a hint of irony. One photographs in the traditional frontal view implementing a stylish twist and the other from the back exploring whether body type, dress and demeanor can tell us just as much as a facial expression might. Billy & Hells express through images of clothing and fashion, society’s fascination with aesthetic ideals. Barnett, on the other hand, explores the cultural, political and social issues that have an impact on our everyday lives through the most humble of American clothing, the t-shirt.
