HIROSHI MASAKI @ ARS LIBRI   
JULY 12 - AUGUST 30, 2013







Japan in black and white. Bookdealer and photographer HIROSHI MASAKI returns to his hometown of Uwajima, Japan, to find "the idealized, provincial town that exists universally in the hearts of all Japanese people." ARS LIBRI and the ROBERT KLEIN GALLERY are proud to present an exhibition of Masaki's photographs this summer at Ars Libri (500 Harrison Avenue). The show will open on Friday, July 12, and run through August 30.

The exhibition Hiroshi Masaki will feature a curated group of images from Uwajima: A Private Landscape. Uwajima's empty streets and shuttered windows are an unexpected foil to American beach towns in the off season, deserted but not uninhabited. In the face of unfamiliar scenery, the viewer may seek out familiar sentimentalities.

A reception with the artist will take place on Friday, July 12, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at Ars Libri. A special Open House at Ars Libri will coincide with the SoWa Open Market on Sunday, July 14, from 12 to 2 PM. Both events are free and open to the public; light refreshments will be served. Bring your friends!
