KEEGAN GIBBS – OPEN SPACE
2010-12-27The first solo photo exhibition by Keegan Gibbs. Open Space is a collection of images, collages, and installations which are inspired by his life in surfing.
Open Space is my expression of the state one falls into while floating weightless off shore, looking out to sea, hoping and waiting for the next set. Troubles are isolated far away on the unreality of land, while you are free in the truest reality of water. It is a timeless unspoilable state that cannot be ruined, not even by the angry local that may be slashing your tires and waxing your windows simply because he doesn’t want to share some waves. To a surfer it’s an understandable act of necessary evil to keep an ungoverned subculture in form, and from it breaking into full bore beach-blanket-bingo havoc.
Exhibition runs from January 15th to February 5th, 2011
