(de)constructed artist spotlight: Vivian Chiu

Candelar 2022 Januela feature: Cristina Fontsaré

Happy New Year from Candela Gallery! We're excited to kick off 2022 with a group exhibition, (de)constructed. The show brings together eight artists who physically and/or digitally alter their work by cutting, sculpting, and reconstructing the image using various materials.

Exhibiting artist Caitlin Teal Price embraces the contemporary terror of a damaged pigment print by intentionally carving into the surface of her photographs. 

Candela Gallery is excited to mount its first solo show by Washington, DC-based artist, Caitlin Teal Price. Through photography and deliberate, delicate mark-making, Price carves gestural patterns and shapes into the surface of her prints. Built on photographs of sunlight, seeping through the windows of her home, these Scratch Drawings are an exploration of the ritual and routine found in the undercurrents of Price's daily life.

Please join Candela Gallery for the opening of Kahn & Selesnick’s latest book project and exhibition, Dr. Falke’s Oraculum, on Friday, November 5th, from 5-8 pm.

A dangerous combination of the underslept and over-caffeinated bred our latest endeavor, which we have so foolishly decided to undertake. We give you...

THE 2022 CANDELAR!

Against a backdrop of ecological decline, this memoir/travelogue follows Dr. Falke (the narrator), Count Orlofsky, and Madame Lulu, three members of an itinerant theatrical troupe known as the Truppe Fledermaus, as they stage absurdist performances in various locations including Europe, England, America, and Japan. In these performances, often staged in nature with no audience, the Truppe are as apt to commemorate the passing of an unusual cloud as they are to be found documenting their own attempts to flee the rising waters of a warming planet, or using black humor to comment upon the extinction of bats or other animals.

Candela Gallery is thrilled to open this fall with a collaborative project in partnership with this year’s Afrikana Film Festival. Hosted by Candela and curated by Enjoli Moon, Sandy Williams, and Nigel Richardson, with all & in-between opens September 3rd, 2021, and runs through October 23rd, 2021.
