The Gladstone is excited to present the series Shelf Life by photographer Eugen Sakhnenko. The exhibition runs from January 31 – March 3, 2013 on the 4th floor. Come by on January 31st for the opening reception from 7pm – 10pm.
Shelf Life explores how we store and spread knowledge through spaces of information storage. The different media and the locations that house them often restrict the spread of information due to their inherent qualities. For the first time in history, it is technologically possible to have universal access to all knowledge because of new media. As a society we must make sure we do not artificially impose the restrictions of the old onto the new. Shelf Life shows both the similarities and the contradictions that these spaces possess.
