Automotivology

Less than a century ago, the automobile was considered but a rich man’s toy. With Henry Ford’s Model T, the automobile became a common method of transportation for many families. Increased use prompted cites and towns to adapt themselves to the automobile by constructing parking lots and freeways. In the 1920s businesses were created to cater solely to motorists. The first service stations emerged as well as motels, roadside eateries and even drive-thrus. By the 1950s, however, walking had become an obsolete notion and cities were then conceived around the dominance of the automobile.

Society has gone from adapting to automobiles to being dependent on them. Because of this integration, I believe they reflect aspects of our culture. More than functional machines, they symbolize our values.

New Work / New York March 1st - 12th @ the WKP Kennedy Gallery



New Work / New York
Autoscapes by Anthony Tremblay

New Work / New York continues Anthony Tremblay’s exploration of the automobile as a photographic subject. This exhibition shows cars, vans and trucks in meaningful and often ironic settings to reveal social values, with New York City as the locale. A North Bay-born artist, Tremblay currently divides his time between Astorville and Toronto, and he took the majority of these images while volunteering at the Gordon Parks Archives in Purchase, New York.

Runs: March 1st-12th @ WKP Kennedy Gallery, North Bay ON
Opening Reception: March 5th, 1-4pm
