Nicholas Stein Exhibits Artwork in Solo Show "Voids in Humanity"

In the Project Space Gallery at SUNY Oneonta, Nicholas Stein, of Otego, NY, is exhibiting artwork in a solo show consisting of physically manipulated film photographs called "Voids in Humanity" until Oct. 25. Stein is a senior majoring in Art and Design at SUNY Oneonta.

"Voids in Humanity consists of a series of conceptual photographs that explore the shared human experiences of absence, loss and emotion," said SUNY Oneonta Art Gallery Director Sarah Simpson. "Through the use of vague silhouette figures burnt into the photo negatives, the human form is presented both as a symbol and a personification of memory or trauma. These images act as a conduit for memory and meaning, referencing the emotional weight that various experiences can carry within us. The exhibition will encourage viewers to reflect on how society and they themselves create and neglect these so-called voids."

Admission to the gallery and reception is free and open to the public, and visitors can receive parking passes through the University Police Department. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, contact Sarah Simpson at Sarah.Simpson@oneonta.edu or 607-436-2445.
