The exhibition, titled “Temporary Constructions”, will showcase new photographs by Elmendorf and Parascandola highlighting architectural changes over time in Washington, DC and elsewhere by juxtaposing images of contemporary monumental architecture with those of time-worn abandoned structures.

“Temporary Constructions” will be on view November 12-23, 2008. Please join us in celebrating photography and local talent at the Opening Reception on Thursday, November 13 from 6 to 9 pm.
