Starting with about 40 color half frame and Black and White full frame photographs (black and white are hand printed in the artist's darkroom) of signs, buildings, nature and roads of the Black Belt region of Alabama, created by Cynthia Connolly, Rich Jacobs will arrange the exhibit on the shelves and counters of the store, primarily stocked with vintage clothing and antiques. Paired with these objects, he will also respond to these visual connections by creating his own work and placing it within the store with or without the art. PLEASE NOTE: Rich Jacobs was unable to come to NYC so he sent his artwork and his friend, Jordin Isip installed the exhibit.
Every two weeks another creator will re arrange the store. Late September, Michael Azerrad, Writer and Author from New York will re arrange the exhibit and store leaving Rich's work, or removing it. On October 9th, Mrs Roni Freeman will bring from Cynthia's homeplace more of her photographs and incorporate and re arrange them in the store, including some of her work within the ever-changing exhibit.
