Check out Libby Rosof's awesome recent post from the Philly "artblog"...
an exceprt from Libby's post:
"Through You exhibits 23 masters of photography showing 56 works, at the Charles Addams Fine Arts Gallery. In the nearby hallway is some student work reflecting the influence of these photographers; this youthful work also is worth a look. The two shows are up through Oct. 24.
The photographers deliver a multi-faceted essay on reality and unreality, subverting and manipulating the documentary voice of photography for their own purposes.
Although the exhibit has a mix of familiar and unfamiliar work, it still delivers surprises in how the photos talk to each other. The exhibit also serves as a reminder that photography is always asking questions about what's real and what it means to see something framed through a glass lens."
