Tomorrow night, friend and photographer Ryan MacFarland opens his first solo exhibition at Merge Gallery. “The exhibition titled “almost” is taken from the idea that we are almost always on the brink of full awareness and understanding. The somberness that is evoked from the futile endeavor of understanding the universe is elegantly juxtaposed by the hope of his young subjects and the humor of his oblivious non-human subjects.” The opening reception is from 6 to 9 PM tomorrow night, and the show remains on view through August 30th.
