Greece: 1954 - 1965
Photography by Robert McCabe
Artspace Loft Gallery: February 2 - March 16, 2007
Opening: February 2, 5:30pm

Greece has changed dramatically since Robert McCabe made the pictures collected in this book, some of them fifty years ago. Certain viewers— especially those who were also there at that time—might find McCabe’s photographs elegiac. This is the Greece they too remember, glazed in dazzling sunlight and now gone. To me, however, the principal sensation they convey is pleasure..

By Khristen Walker

Verisimilitude refers to an exploration of photography as a representation of the truth. According to the artist: "I think that in a society such as ours, wherein we are taught from a very early age to only allot meaning and value to things which are real, it is important to step back from the imagery of our everyday lives and realize that some narratives are worth believing in regardless of whether they are real or not."
