Duplex | April 22 — May 2, 2023

Retro Photo Archive, in collaboration with DUPLEX, presents Naked Seduction: Elizabeth Sunflower 1970-1972. This series of photographs, captured between 1970 and 1972 in the burgeoning North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco, centers the role of sex workers in propelling the feminist movement from a counterculture ideal to a national conversation. The photographs are divided into unique story lines that weave together to tell a larger narrative: focusing on avante garde exotic dancers and models that were emerging from the underground and normalizing sex in a time when the socially marginalized were misunderstood and less tolerated.

Daniel Gordon: Free Transform presents a new series of richly-detailed, large-scale photographic prints alongside the debut of theartist’s three-dimensional vessel sculptures. Spanning the exhibition is the seven-panel Panoramic Still Life(2023), which extends23 feet in width and functions as a single site-specific installation while allowing for its alternate presentation in individual worksor groupings. Pushing the limits of both scale and dimensionality, Gordon expands the viewer’s visual experience to allow for an immersive ambulatory exploration of the exhibition space and, by extension, his constructed universe. As his subjects and objects glitch through multiple mediums, Gordon occasions a slippage that speaks to the camera’s capability to transform as well as document.

In this series, the artist expands on her signature style of creating environments that tread a fine line between fantasy and reality while taking a closer look at the natural world. Walter investigates the current period in history known as the Anthropocene age and how human activity has started to have a significant irreversible impact on the planet’s climate.

Margeaux Walter plays with the contrast between the striking landscapes and subtle human present imbedded in the image to create a surrealistic tableau. Her work pulls the viewer in, requiring more than a quick glance, to spark a second thought about the relationship humans have with the environment and the impact even little changes can make.
