The Arts Council of Princeton presents photographs by Aubrey J. Kauffman

originally published: 08/26/2021


(PRINCETON, NJ) -- The Arts Council of Princeton will exhibit Constant Repeating Themes, a collection of photography works by Aubrey J. Kauffman, in their Taplin Gallery from September 11 through October 9. 

The themes of urban landscape and man’s impact on the environment have long intrigued Kauffman as a photographer. “I witness this in constructions as simple as building façades in a strip mall to the deserted athletic fields in parks and playgrounds”, shares Kauffman. “Through my viewfinder I seek to contrast and compare the interactions of natural and man-made elements. I tend to seek out landscapes that speak to a certain stillness. In the buildings and structures that I photograph, I emphasize their architectural quality in the space that they exist. Geometry, shadow and light play major roles in my image making. I consider my work to be informed by traditional landscape photography. My interpretation reflects a sense of solitude that I wish to convey onto the viewer.” 

The public is invited to an Opening Reception on Saturday, September 11 from 3:00pm-5:00pm. Free and open to the public.  

“We are so excited to welcome the community back to our Taplin Gallery space”, ACP Artistic Director Maria Evans. “The 'stillness' that Aubrey portrayed in his photographs is a perfect subject matter for us all to reflect on this autumn after a busy summer. We look forward to seeing everyone again!”

Aubrey J. Kauffman is a photographer living and working in New Jersey. He received his undergraduate degree from New Jersey City University and his MFA in visual arts from Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts.

Kirby

Kirby & Delia: "All Rise"

The murals in the Brennan Courthouse (583 Newark Avenue) aren't tough to decipher. There are pilgrims, there are patriots, and there is Hudson County history rendered in the boldest strokes. Look to the underside of the building's grand dome and you'll find signs of the Zodiac; look to the walls for "The Coming of the English," a piece by Howard Pyle that depicts exactly what its title suggests that it will. This feels appropriate for the town's most handsome building — one with an interior reminiscent of classic civic architecture in Trenton and D.C. and the decorated Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, and named after a jurist whose written decisions on the Supreme Court were distinguished by their clarity. William Brennan believed in the salutary effects of direct and comprehensible language. For him, the law was no place for abstraction.
