Angela Carlsen – Still Living – an intimate look inside abandoned homes
Handprinted colour photographs on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper.
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 7, 2008, 4:00 – 6:00 pm.
“Through my years of photographing the world around me, I realize I am drawn to the old and decaying, preferring the allure of history over the new and polished. The disintegration of architecture offers an amazing opportunity to document a beauty that is overlooked in a society where we favour replacing the old with the new”.
Angela Carlsen studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in photography. Since graduating, she has been focusing her work on abandoned spaces. Her photographs of the condemned Halifax Infirmary received much attention from the press and gave her an honourable mention from the Pilsner Urquell International Photography Awards, architecture category. Angela’s current work on deserted rural houses has been funded by Nova Scotia Tourism, Culture and Heritage.
Saturday, July 5 – Wednesday, July 30, 2008
Lauren Henkin – New Scotland
Black and white, large format photographs of Nova Scotia.
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 5, 2008, 4:00 – 6:00 pm.
“I have wanted to go to Nova Scotia for about ten years. It seemed so easy just hop a ride over on the ferry from Maine, but I wasn’t able to actually go until the summer of 2007 when I spent a month living in Chester, a small sailing community on Nova Scotia’s eastern coast. My exploration began from there”.
Born in Washington, D.C. in 1974, award-winning photographer Lauren Henkin grew up in Maryland. In 1996, after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in architecture from Washington University in St. Louis, she moved home to Maryland and began working as an architect. During the next 10 years, she worked as the public programs manager for the Corcoran Gallery of Art, book designer for Dumbarton Oaks, and creative director for an international leisure management firm.
Although much of her photographic knowledge is self taught, Henkin has furthered her fine arts education by studying under photographers Chan Chao, Gordon Hutchings, Tyler Boley, and George Tice. She states, “I think a big part of what I hope to do is give a formality to very informal subjects. To pay attention to things we see everyday — a blanket drying on a line, a dry cleaning store people walk past everyday, a group of mailboxes, or yard sale. The fun for me in taking pictures is when I am able to look closer, recognize the beauty that is present everywhere, and then be able to share that vision with others."

Raoul Manuel Schnell – Faces
Black and white portraits
Opening reception: Saturday, August 2, 2008, 4:00 – 6:00 pm.
“Every person is an adventure. It is not about shooting a nice picture but looking behind the curtains and, if I am allowed, capturing a part of that person’s soul. Since the camera itself is intrusive enough the shooting takes place in familiar surroundings without elaborate technical support and with either natural light or light sources like table or wall lamps. And the picture is always in black and white”.
Raoul was born in Germany and attended the College of Art and Design in Lugano, Switzerland. It was there that he discovered photography although he completed his studies in Interior Design. After being trained by Walter Schels in Munich from 1972 - 1973, he has been shooting everything possible and impossible, working for magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Harper´s Bazaar and clients such as De Beers, Siemens, Estee Lauder and Lancaster. In 2004, he moved to Montreal and in 2007 to Nova Scotia.

Sue Mills – Colours of the Cove
One-Wall-Show: colour photographs of a cove somewhere in Nova Scotia
Opening reception: Saturday, August 2, 2008, 4:00 – 6:00 pm.
“I have a place where the salty sea air smells like a tonic
The wind stirs the waves till they dance and foam like cotton candy
the rain thuds against window panes or sun streams through
dancing across floors and ceilings
traipsing through prisms sparkling on craggy rocks and barren trees
out on the island where every bird imaginable
even eagles circle around".
Sue Mills was born and raised in Quebec and lived in Nova Scotia for over 17 years before moving back to Quebec. While in Nova Sotia, she discovered a cove "Where arms are always open and where open hearted souls are always welcome. Where the colour blue has a place of honour."
