591 Exhibition - Rhonda Prince

GO to the 591 Exhibition "Empty Seats and Thoughtful Spots" by Rhonda Prince

- This is a permanent 591 Exhibition

It is a very special moment on this Saturday in December. I am really happy to show you this fine exhibition by Rhonda Prince. When looking at the pictures I come to think of a slogan from a TV commercial; "think outside the box".

Rhonda is questioning that statement in her amazing series suggesting that there is no box in the first place. We are still allowed to sit down and think freely and let our thoughts wander. We may think of trivial or important matters, what is important is that we take the time to do it.


I asked Rhonda if she would allow me to chose a picture for the poster and she accepted it. I chose the picture with a bird in flight next to a tree. It is a beautiful photo that represents much of Rhonda's work. Just imagine if our thoughts could be like the bird, flying free without any restrictions. And there is no box.
Just some thoughtful spots for us to occupy.
- Mr Urbano

Rhonda is right here on 591 Spaces where you will find out more about her work.

This exhibition is the last one to be presented this year on 591. But some great new exhibitions are waiting in line and the 591 Gallery will open again on Jan 10, 2010.

Rhonda is a true artist, both as a photographer and a poet; her use of metaphor and irony is amazing ... it is a gift to the reader or viewer to interpret her work according to their own sensibility. As an obsessive photographer and internet user, i can say that her work is a rare example of talent and vision without pretensions. ...and she has become a lovely friend. :)
