LINDSEY WHITE: Equivalent Exposure
June 17 - July 14, 2010

Baer Ridgway Exhibitions is pleased to present Lindsey White's first solo exhibition at the gallery.  Working in still photography, video and installation, White offers subtle and often humorous insights into questions of truth vs illusion, found vs fabricated and synchronicity vs chaos.  Her manipulations of materials and settings, by both analog and digital means, mixed with a keen eye for coincidence make for playful yet haunting images of the not so mundane everyday.
"For as long as I can remember, my dad has claimed to know the secret of the world. However, every time he is about to whisper it in my ear, he lets out a giant laugh and says, 'Maybe I'll tell you when you're a little bit older.' Through my artwork, I've been searching for this secret, studying the random events, actions, and visions that are forever unfolding in my everyday encounters. My photography and video explorations, combine elements of both humor and wonderment, creating a gateway for the viewer into the secret of this world, using everyday objects-- a book, a flashlight, friends." - Lindsey White.
