Opening reception, 7-9 pm: Uphill Both Ways | Pose and Revok. Jonathan LeVine Gallery, 529 West 25^th Street, NY, NY.

In conjunction with their first show in New York, the artists will also collaborate on a large-scale mural on the famed Goldman Properties wall located on Houston and Bowery streets, in lower Manhattan.Although style, medium and techniques vary between the two artists, their work is strongly connected from a conceptual standpoint.

The artists both draw inspiration directly from their environments and both of their processes involve chopping up various elements and reassembling the slices to form a synthesis of intriguing shapes, forms and textures.

In Boston Opening reception, Friday, June 28, 5:30-8 pm: Harold E. Edgerton & Matthew Gamber | Basic Ingredients of a Complex World. GalleryKayafas, 450 Harrison Avenue, #37, Boston, MA.

The title of this exhibition is derived from a chapter in a 1963 Time/Life publication, Matter, the inaugural title of the Life Science Library Series, written by Ralph Eugene Lapp, a renowned Manhattan Project physicist. C.P. Snow, a noted scientist and author who served as a consultant editor for the book, was concerned with the effect of science on culture. Snow argued that the general public deserved to engage with science with the same appreciation and level of involvement as one would with literature.

Through a variety of photographic approaches, "Doc" Edgerton and Matthew Gamber experiment with how the medium of photography can inform our perception of the world. Both Edgerton and Gamber illustrate aspects of Snow's ideal by seeing the potential of everyday objects as an opportunity to illustrate ideas that extend beyond what can be seen with the naked eye.
