FEE, FIE, FOE, FING, I SMELL THE BLOOD OF A YOUNG EARTHLING!!

When Jack reluctantly exchanges his pet goat, Luna, for a bag of stardust, he has no idea the adventure that awaits.  Heartbroken after his mother throws the dust out of the window, Jack awakens the next morning to find a shiny space rocket, a new robot friend, and the start of an unforgettable journey. An enchanting fairy tale with dancing robots, shooting stars, giant aliens, and treasure beyond your wildest dreams.

About the Exhibition:

The photographer is an artist who applies a lens to the world and the contemporary social order.  TRANSFORMATION is a gathering of powerful and intriguing images that open stories of our times and portray a world undergoing transformation.  

The exhibition will also explore the transformation of the photographic process. Photography as an artistic medium has been the beneficiary of changing technologies and new materials in the last quarter-century.  The artist now has dramatic latitude in terms of scale and visual media. Photography is no longer just a pretty picture or a document. It can be many things at once, integrating many materials and media.
