TIM RODA: FAMILY ALBUM
October 2- November 15, 2008

Tim Roda's solo exhibition titled "Family Album" continues his investigation and reconstruction of his family history. Roda will exhibit photographs from 2003 - 2008 along with black-and-white 8mm films.

"Roda invites us to step into - and then through -- a psychic romper room not seen since Alice tumbled into the looking glass....His stripped down, lo-fi aesthetic is reminiscent of your grammar school attempt at a shoebox diorama depicting a perfectly enclosed, self-sustaining Arctic Biosphere rendered in carved sugarcubes and stretched cotton balls - provisionally collaged together, yes, but never hermetically sealed. This is key. Roda plumbs his own memories as an Italian-American kid growing up Catholic in an eccentric family in Lancaster, Pennsylvania..."  -David Hunt
