On View: August 5 – September 27, 2026
A series of xeroxes of black and white photographs scanned and rescanned to varying degrees of abstraction and image degradation. The images comprise a dreamscape of various locations in New York City, many on the peripheries of its outer boroughs. An exploration of everyday borders, outposts and spaces, the works utilize weather, light and shadow to reveal an ethereal and fleeting infrastructure we inhabit and move through.
On August 26, The City Reliquary will host a screening of O’Hare’s short film, The Light at Dusk, a photo-montage film that interweaves still photographs of New York City and upstate New York with a spoken text dealing with themes of memory, time, and the uncanny.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with multi-media artist Brent Wahl and a celebration of the release of O’Hare’s latest book, Memories of a Weather Exposed Skeleton. This, along with his 2020 release Evanescent Cities, will be available for purchase.
O’Hare’s exhibit in our front room, his short film, and his latest book share many of the same images, allowing audiences the opportunity to engage with his work in a range of formats.
