A finissage is a closing party for an art exhibition or event. The word comes from the French word finissage, which means “finishing”.
Join us for the closing of Jairo Granados-Cardena’s exhibition, “barely there barely here” Saturday January 25 from 12-3PM!
About The Exhibition
cam.contemporarie presents the first solo exhibition of Chicago-based photographer, Jairo Granados Cardenas, barely there barely here. Inspired by the fleeting moments of everyday life and the mundane, Granados-Cardenas presents a series of diptych and triptych photographs revealing the intimacies of his surroundings, seen through the lens of his point and shoot camera — the condensation on a shower handle alongside the dewy skin of a lover, or the neon lights of a flower shop in technicolor documented at one am on a late night walk home.
For Granados-Cardenas, a soft gaze or at times, deep contrasts within their work serve as signifiers of memories and observations that are fleeting. For one moment the instance is here, another it’s not, but what matters most is that distinct inclination to pause and take it in.
