The exhibition includes new installations that leverage his large archive (from around the world) of the ubiquitous marks that told us all to stand apart during the pandemic. Works include concrete sculptures, murals, framed and unframed photos on the walls, windows and floors, publications and more. The groupings delve into a wide variety of metaphors, encompassing themes of transformation, the fragility of health, the rigorous yet uncertain nature of scientific exploration, and the visceral, often overwhelming experience of emotional panic. Through these layered associations, they invite the viewer to reflect on the interconnectedness of personal and collective responses to uncertainty and upheaval.

An image from Ari’s Six Feet Apart series appears in the current show, Leftovers, on the Curated Fridge. The show is viewable online.

The Curated Fridge is an Art gallery in Somerville, Massachusetts – well not a full gallery but literally one fridge in one apartment! it’s a fun idea and has grown into a bigger project over the last 10 years with a wide range of influential curators involved and remote exhibits in a variety of other galleries.

Leftovers features prints from previous submissions that were given a second chance to shine. Curated by Yorgos Efthymiadis @yorgosphoto, founder of TCF, the exhibition consists of 93 photographs.

An opening party is scheduled for January 18th (3-5pm)
Location: 281 Medford St, Somerville, MA 02143
