NYPD: EXHIBITION / GALLERY REVIEW

"Klompching Gallery Reopens with Helen Sear"
Catherine Troiano, New York Photography Diary

"Last Wednesday, Klompching Gallery re-opened in their new location at 89 Water Street, DUMBO. 
The inaugural show at Klompching Gallery’s new space is a celebration of Helen Sear’s work; the artist’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. The works are not new to exhibition, with much of it having been featured in the previous shows, however, Sear’s organic oeuvre is a well thought out complement to the new space and comes as she is representing Wales at the 56th Venice Biennale, with a solo exhibition in the Santa Maria Ausilliatrice. Sear’s work is very contemplative and the new space at Klompching is a worthy environment in which to contemplate. Hung with plenty of room for our thoughts to expand around the work, the peaceful atmosphere allows us to consider the questions surrounding identity, gender and the photographic medium that Sear addresses."
The full review can be read on the New York Photography Diary website.
