Gregory Halpern @ Huxley-Parlour
Untitled, from the series ‘King, Queen, Knave’
Gregory Halpern: King, Queen, Knave
31 October – 30 November 2024
“Huxley-Parlour are delighted to announce King, Queen, Knave, a new solo exhibition of works by American photographer Gregory Halpern, opening at our Swallow Street gallery in October 2024. The exhibition will present twenty-one photographs from Halpern’s latest body of work, which he photographed over the last two decades, mostly in and around his hometown of Buffalo, New York. The series extends beyond a portrait of place, celebrating the poetic idiosyncrasies of everyday life.
Buffalo acts as a vast stage in Halpern’s series, hosting a cast of people, animals and buildings that pass before the photographer’s lens. At times the city feels outsized for its inhabitants: open spaces appear unvisited; a large factory looms over a solitary figure picking flowers in a meadow; snow-covered streets are left unwalked. In his photographs, Halpern reimagines the city’s abandoned sites and urban landscape. Once a centre of industry, which has since migrated elsewhere, along with half its population, Buffalo has witnessed significant loss, although a quiet resilience and strange sense of beauty remain.”
