“WE THE PEOPLE: For Show or For Sure?” is a presentation in image and word intended to engage the audience in a soul-searching examination of our own contributions to the challenges and crises facing our country and the world: Can peace survive in a structure embedded with systemic racism in the legal system, health care, and education? Can political representation be fair when election campaigns are swamped with special interests and dark money? To what extent do our politics and policies foster divisions, conflicts, violence, and war? Can there be peace when social justice is defiled and human rights are violated? Art raises awareness, inspires change, and stimulates action by expressing repressed perspectives and contesting dominant narratives.

Multiple Exposures Gallery presents an Exhibition of New Photography
by Francine B. Livaditis
Gehry Reflections
Exhibition Dates
January 31–March 12, 2023
Hours
Daily 11 am–5 pm
Multiple Exposures Gallery announces the opening of a new photography exhibition by member artist Francine B. Livaditis.
The gallery is located on the third floor of the Torpedo Factory Art Center, 105 N. Union Street, in Alexandria, Virginia. Hours are 11 am–5 pm daily. The exhibit runs January 31 through March 12, 2023.
Gehry Reflections includes photographs Livaditis has made over the past dozen years capturing the interplay of light and color that can be found on the undulating, angled and curvilinear stainless-steel surfaces of buildings designed by the famed architect, Frank Owen Gehry.
The photographs in Gehry Reflections were taken at four locations: the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, NV; the Museum of Pop Culture (formerly Experience Music Project) in Seattle, WA; Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, CA and Ray and Maria Stata Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA.
Livaditis will be at the gallery between 11am-5pm on Saturday and Sunday, February 4 & 5; Sunday and Monday, February 19 & 20; and Sunday, March 12. In addition, on the evening of Friday, March 10, Livaditis will be at Multiple Exposures Gallery from 5 pm–8 pm. Please stop in to meet the artist and view and discuss her work.
In the past I've noted that "Livaditis consistently displays that sublime skill (which superficially looks so easy, but in reality is incomprehensibly hard) to make everyday scenes look new and different."
