Twosomes: Opening Reception and Artist Talk for Mark Chester's Photography Exhibit

Twosomes: A Photography Exhibit with Companion Book by Mark Chester

Reception and talk with refreshments

Come meet the artist, enjoy refreshments, and listen as Mark presents a brief, illustrated talk on his works in the exhibit, as well as on his current work on immigrants who became citizens and reside in Massachusetts.

Falmouth-based photographer Mark Chester's Twosomes touring exhibit and companion book from Un-Gyve Press represents images culled from his forty years of traveling with a camera, presented in pairings related by subject matter, graphic interest or, as the photographer puts it, “a stretch of the imagination.” — a wide-reaching body-of-work that connects architectural icons with sidewalk signage; Japan with Iowa; 1979 with 2002; celebrity with passerby in a manner that reveals, as novelist Paul Theroux describes, “tremendous humanity and humor....In this juxtaposition of matching moods and paraphernalia, Mark Chester shows us in an ingenious way how the world is related and how we matter to each other.”

About Twosomes, Mark comments, "Perhaps Twosomes is a joke book. Maybe you'll smile, or maybe you'll just shake your head muttering what…? We all see something different. For me, finding one image to juxtapose with another was a lot of fun. And fun, like a photograph, is meant to be shared.”
