3. Save the Date: Conversation Pieces - Yael Eban & Matthew Gamber: Living Marble
Sunday, Sept. 11, 4pm
Turley Gallery
98 Green Street, Hudson
TCS/NT members Yael Eban and Matthew Gamber have been working together on a new photographic project for the past few years and the result of their photographic collaboration is Living Marble, an exhibit opening at Turley Gallery on September 3rd.
We are grateful to them for agreeing share this exhibit with us in a special TCS/NT Conversation Pieces presentation on Sunday, September 11th at Turley Gallery in Hudson.
The photographs in Living Marble are assembled from both original and collected photographic objects, Eban and Gamber focus on marble as an aspirational material, historical signifier, and decorative commodity. The collaboration explores marble’s ubiquity from high to low art through tropes of kitsch, trompe-l'œil, and the uncanny.
Marble as a material is often faked, simulated, replicated, or reproduced. In many cases, the forgery becomes the desired version. For instance, in the 1850s a British painter named Thomas Kershaw built a lucrative career by painting faux marble in the homes of wealthy patrons. So convincing was Kershaw’s technique that his critics accused him of using real marble in place of his own handiwork. In an evident parallel, Eban and Gamber created a new technique in the darkroom of marbling directly onto light sensitive paper. The paper is then exposed to light and developed with chemistry, creating unique photographic objects made without a camera.
Since antiquity, marble has been used as a stand-in for divinity, the body, and even light—the word itself is derived from the Greek verb marmairein (to shine, to flash). As photography is a medium that collects and records light, it is the ideal analogy for Eban and Gamber to explore marble and its various recreations. Using a wide palette of photographic approaches, Living Marble intersects the materiality of marble with photography’s unique power to emulate and commodify surfaces.

Liz Lerman at Jacob's Pillow
Wednesday August 10 - Saturday August 13
at Jacob's Pillow in the Festival Tent
Tickets $35
Witches, trials, and exhibitions fly around in Liz Lerman’s new acclaimed evening-length dance-theater piece, Wicked Bodies. Liz and the unusual cast of performers, including TCS/NT member Jamie Stiller, have been exploring how our bodies become sources of evil and power – from fairy tales to government policies. Why is some knowledge celebrated, some criminalized, and some erased altogether? And who gets to document, describe, and save the remnants? In the presence of magic both old and new, and a surprising collection of witches, audiences will make their way through a restless story and a smashing of worlds. The multidisciplinary piece is designed specifically for a unique setting at Jacob’s Pillow.
