Sneak Peek of “No Other Place to Go,” opening September 4 at InLiquid Gallery. Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, September 10 from 6 – 9 pm!

Curated in collaboration with Katie Tackman (KT Butterfield), “No Other Place to Go” is an exhibition bringing together five artists who use photography to document environmental change, confront ecological loss and spark conversations about the realities of changing climate.

Featuring works by Anita Allyn (Anita Allyn), Richard Boutwell (Richard Boutwell), Laura Krasnow (Laura Krasnow), Kaitlin Pomerantz (Kaitlin Pomerantz ~ KP) and Emma Ressel (Emma Ressel), “No Other Place to Go” considers photography as both evidence and expression. Through images informed by scientific data, historical records, disappearing landscapes and shifting ecosystems, the artists examine not only what is changing, but how climate change affects memory, perception and our relationship to the natural world.

Together, the artists’ works demonstrate how evidence and emotion can operate as complementary forms of knowledge, helping audiences understand environmental realities not only through facts and data, but through lived experience.

This exhibition is curated in conjunction with the 20/20 Photo Festival (20/20 Photo Festival), a celebration of photography that brings together the Philadelphia photo community through city-wide exhibitions, educational programming, and a book fair.

There’s only one more week to see “Piecing it together” at Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia, featuring artists Michael Morgan (Michael Morgan) and Joseph Opshinsky (Joseph Opshinsky Fine Art)

This exhibition explores two distinct areas of Philadelphia through assemblage. The Wissahickon Valley Park and Kensington District share a similar history: both are ancestral homes of the indigenous tribe, the Lenni Lenape, and both were part of the 18th- and 19th-century industrial boom, with mills and manufacturing dominating. What sets them apart is how these areas fared after deindustrialization.

The Wissahickon Valley Park was acquired by the city to protect the city’s drinking water, eventually transforming it into a protected, forested natural landmark. While much of the industrial past was torn down, remnants of the structures remain. Through Joseph Opshinsky’s detailed cut-paper collages, he captures the trails along the valley, the reclamation of nature, and the scars of its industrial past. Beginning with traditional sketches, Opshinsky’s use of vibrant papers brings the idyllic scenes of the Wissahickon trails to life.

The Kensington District, once known as the “Workshop of the World”, took a different path in the mid-20th century, as manufacturing went overseas, leading to job losses and suburban flight. The area was left with abandoned factories and scattered buildings. Through the rubble of his neighborhood, Michael Morgan unearthed the shards that would become his Kensington Apotheosis series. Systematically digging up the alley behind his property, which was the site of a dump from the mid-19th to the mid-20th centuries, he found old ceramic pipes and dolls, mostly fragments. Morgan gives these discarded, broken, long-forgotten, buried ceramic pieces a new life inspired by the Japanese practice of kintsugi, celebrating their broken past.

“Nature, Assembled” (detail) by Anita Allyn (Anita Allyn)
Photo Installation

“Nature, Assembled” is part of an ongoing series of imagined icebergs photographed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey mall parking lots. Inspired by increasingly rare winter snow piles, these ordinary remnants become stand-ins for distant icebergs shaped by climate change. Displayed alongside vegetation, stones, and museum-like vitrines, the photograph shifts from landscape to specimen, prompting viewers to consider how our understanding of nature is constructed through photography, collecting, preservation, and display.

Richard Boutwell’s ongoing series Reclamation: Deadpool examines the dramatic recession of Lake Mead, the nation’s largest reservoir, as a visible consequence of decades-long megadrought, climate change, and sustained human overuse. Deadpool uses the bathtub ring, the 160’-180’ tall white mineral deposit left by the declining lake elevation, as a symbol for the inescapable reality of the accelerating impacts of climate change. Through large-scale photographs and custom maps generated from remote sensing imagery and elevation data, Boutwell connects historical policy decisions to present-day consequences, transforming scientific information into stark visual evidence of a water system under stress—one that continues to sustain millions even as

Black & White works on view in New Now IX ⚫️ ⚪️

Raymond Carballada (Raymond Carballada Photography) is a fine art photographer whose work focuses on light, structure, and the quiet order found in both natural and built environments. Having limited vision in one eye has sharpened his sensitivity to form and light, qualities that run through his work.

On view at InLiquid Gallery thru August 29.
Open 12-6pm Wednesday-Saturday

Thomas W. Moore (Tom Moore) explores how interior experience becomes visible through the relationship between the male figure, surrounding environments, and material surfaces. He examines how identity and perception emerge through these relationships and the structures that contain them.

In the her series, “What Remains,” Krista Svalbonas (Krista Svalbonas) explores ideas of home and dislocation, and the impact of architecture on human psychology. Her work is informed by her Latvian/Lithuanian heritage, places where cultural architecture was demolished and replaced by Soviet buildings.

On view at InLiquid Gallery thru August 29.
Open 12-6pm Wednesday-Saturday

Peggy Washburn (Peggy Washburn) converts a familiar chaos into something relatively tidy through layers of acrylic, graphite, ink, pigment and wax. Her work in this series is about the inner conflict that comes with embracing imperfection, while simultaneously resisting what she cannot accept.

"A Glimpse Elsewhere" opens this friday at The National Old City Apartments!

"A Glimpse Elsewhere" brings together artists Elisa Abeloff () and Nanci Hersh (), reminiscing about the past and understanding alternative perspectives in such fleeting moments. Each artist uses gestural patterns in their work, creating an airy atmosphere and feeling of retrospection. In Elisa’s work, we see flashes of natural scenes that are borderline abstract, visualizing distant memories. Similarly, Nanci uses imagery of water and reflections to represent how our momental perspective can change over time.

A reception for this exhibition will be held on Friday, October 2 from 6 – 8 pm - RSVP link in bio!
