Real Appropriate
Adam Blumberg (Philadelphia, PA)
Chuck Ramirez (San Antonio, TX)
September 21 – November 2, 2007
Opening Reception: Friday, September 21, 6:30-10pm
Real Appropriate is an exhibition of photographic works that celebrate the simplicity of people, places, and things while exploring the human condition.  Blumberg’s photographs embrace glaring stereotypes of blue collar Midwesterners in a sincere attempt to pay tribute to his lower middle class upbringing, while Ramirez’ large-scale portraits of banal objects are humorous, yet poignant metaphors for the transient nature of consumer culture and the frailty of life.
