Six Providence Photographers Capture Removal of I-195
Opening Reception, August 2nd 2012 at 5pm
PROVIDENCE - - 7/16/12 - - I -195: A Photographic Excavation, an upcoming exhibit at Providence City Hall Gallery, July 26-thru August 2012, with an opening reception August 2, 2012 at 5pm, presents the work of five Rhode Island and one Massachusetts photographer who documented the demolition and removal of I-195, from the initial DOT’s Gold Wrecking Ball event at India Point in November 2010, through the end of 2011. The exhibit captures the evolution of the project through images of twisted steel, broken concrete, massive machinery, and evolving cityscapes. Though each photographer found their way on top, underneath, and around the abandoned and new highways, their individual visions, techniques, and aesthetics offer viewers a multi-dimensional and artistic observation of demolition and revitalization. The collection of images, as a whole, documents the passage of time for the city of Providence encountering historical, urban change.
