Burn Line is a project that meditates on loss, resilience, and transformation in the face of California’s wildfires. It employs a unique “Pyrotype” process to engrave images into wood and transform them into black-on-black charcoal objects, reflecting on how trauma reshapes objects and memory.

Ari Salomon presented his series 6 Feet Apart in a group show titled Where Time’s Echoes Repeat, curated by Thomas Kellner. September 19-23, 2025

The Pingyao International Photography Festival (PIP) is a prestigious annual event held in the ancient walled city of Pingyao in Shanxi Province, China. Since its founding in 2001, the festival has become a major platform for photographers from around the world to showcase their work, fostering cross-cultural dialogue and artistic exchange. Set against the backdrop of Pingyao’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed architecture, the event features a wide range of exhibitions, from contemporary and documentary photography to experimental and conceptual art. It attracts professionals, emerging artists, and photography enthusiasts alike, offering workshops, lectures, and portfolio reviews that support the global photographic community.

Congratulations to Ari for wining the “Phoenix of Pingyao” award.

Anastasia Shubina and Tmiofey Glinin are featured in an artist’s showcase at Transmission Gallery with Entrance to the Void, a pinhole photography series created across the Bay Area, New York, and Boston. Using one of the oldest photographic techniques—capturing images through a tiny pinhole without a lens—the project engages with the ephemeral and the invisible. Through the use of camera obscura, the authors explore both urban and natural environments, revealing their ghostly essence and the transparency of human presence. Pinhole photography renders the visible invisible: silhouettes of people dissolve into shadows, while rays of light emerge and take on form. Entrance to the Void is a visual meditation on the desolation and haunting stillness of American spaces.

Artist’s Showcase:
Anastasia Shubina & Timofey Glinin
Entrance to the Void — Pinhole Studies
July 17 – September 6, 2025
Opening Reception:
Saturday, July 26th from 3–5 pm
