CHER co-founder Veronica Cianfrano @ Salon 1522 in December

Saturday, December 7th 5-8PM

Salon 1522: 1522 N. Lawrence st. Philadelphia, PA 19122

Heavy Hands is a solo exhibition featuring the work of Veronica Cianfrano, curated by Shane Leddy of Salon 1522.  

Veronica Cianfrano is a multi-media, Philadelphia based artist who has been examining "the communication break down" through photographic images and memories of her familial ties and through our current reliance on digital communication. This exhibition serves as a display for these vignettes of examination whether it be through memory decay, new meanings found in old footage, or the effects of the news media on our state of mind.

True to Cianfrano’s style, the exhibition will feature a film screening as well as a varying collection of sculptures, assemblages, drawings, and paintings; all of which invite the viewer in for an intimate discussion about memory, as well as the state of the media and the state of our minds today.

The opening reception will take place on December 7th from 5-8PM and the exhibition will remain up throughout the month of December. Call Shane Leddy for a private viewing: (610) 751-0935
