SILHOUETTES
New photographic exhibit of dance in silhouette set to preview on Saturday, June 28th from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Ethical Society, 1906 South Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia.
'A silhouette is a view of some object or scene consisting of the outline and a featureless interior, with the silhouette usually being black. A silhouette is a form of artwork. It is most commonly a human portrait in profile, in black.'
With that in mind, photographer Brian Mengini set out to capture portraits of dancers in Silhouette. This new exhibit, which will tour throughout the Greater Philadelphia region, is set to premier on Saturday, June 28th from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Ethical Society at 1906 South Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia.
Featured in the silhouettes are the members of local dance company, Music & Motion Dance, who will be appearing for their fifth year in the upcoming Philadelphia Live Arts & Philly Fringe set for the Fall.
Brian Mengini has been capturing Philadelphia's creative pulse for over ten years now and blends his two passions , photography and dance, into one wonderfully fulfilling journey. As a former manager of Rennie Harris PureMovement, in the mid 1990's, Brian developed a deeper understanding of dance and movement, but also an eye for its emotion. His photos and writings have been published in periodicals such as the News of Delaware County, Shamokin News Item, The Trend and the Pew Charitable Trust's Prospectus.
The exhibit is free and members of the general public are invited to attend this opening.
