SOUTH SHORE ARTS IS PLEASED TO PRESENT:

ACCIDENTAL MYSTERIES
Extraordinary Vernacular Photographs
from the Collection of John and Teenuh Foster
March 23 – May 4, 2008

Vernacular, anonymous, generic, amateur, found—all are apt descriptions of the collection of photographs that John and Teenuh Foster have amassed over the last thirty years. Accidental Mysteries consists of more than 75 of these treasures, which the Fosters have discovered while scrounging through flea markets, yard sales, antique shops and on-line auctions. John Foster says of the photos in his very large and notable collection: “I could see that these snapshots were actually not only found objects—I saw that they were folk art.”

Visitors to the exhibit are encouraged to bring a found photo from their own collection to help construct an installation that will remain on display throughout the exhibit.


Please join us Friday, April 25th, 6:00pm for refreshments and a presentation by FOUND magazine creator, Davy Rothbart. Cost $5, FREE to members. Magazines and books will be available.
