OPENING MARCH 11 - 3:30PM to 5PM
On display March 1 through March 17.
Clambering down slippery rocks to a swimming hole ... Wishing for a breeze in a too--small dome tent ... Scanning the sky for rain from a postage-stamp backyard ... It is in these small moments of action -- and inaction -- that Justin Kimball captures everyday attempts to relax. One might argue that the events depicted are everyday life. It is Kimball's particular genius to isolate these moments between duty and pleasure. Kimball's book Where We Find Ourselves enables viewers to identify with -- and participate in -- this bittersweet aspect of American leisure and the ambiguous contemporary relationship between people and nature. Justin Kimball is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and the Yale University School of Art. He is the recipient of numerous awards and grants in addition to participating in numerous solo and group shows his work is on permanent display at several prestigious institutions such as The Guggenheim Foundation, New York, Corcoran Museum of Art, Washington, D.C. and the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Mr. Kimball currently teaches at Amherst College in Massachusetts. Mr. Kimball's inspiring photographs will be on display at Arcadia Coffee Company, 20 Arcadia Road in Old Greenwich, Conn., from March 1 -- 18. He will be at Arcadia at 3:30 p.m., Saturday, March 11, for an artist reception and book signing event.
