The opening reception of Jonathan Shimony and Michael McCarthy’s Out of time, out of history exhibition took place at Martha’s Place Gallery in Paris on March 23, 2013. The opening reception was followed by a jazz concert with pianist Paul Wacrenier, saxophonist Sylvain Cathala and Bassist Thierry Mariétan.
Martha’s Place Gallery in Paris will be hosting beginning March 23, 2013 the two person exhibition out of time, out of history with paintings by Jonathan Shimony and photographs by Michael McCarthy. Their work addresses a contemporary world seemingly spun out of control. Every day in the news media we are bombarded with stories of disaster and tragedy of every possible origin. Out of time, out of history presents two artists reacting in diverse ways to our modern and dysfunctional world.
