'Ranging from intriguing portraits and cityscapes to graffiti painted with light, sculptural *photo-objects,* and psychic-informed photography, this diverse collection of images is unified by its subject: Allentown, Pennsylvania. This catalogue for the exhibition Allentown X7 offers seven original approaches to understanding the city that encourage viewers to consider unexpected narratives of both the urban environment and its process of change.' (-from the back cover). 'Allentown X7: Photographic Explorations unites the work of seven local photographers: Theo Anderson, Vicki DaSilva, Rose DeSiano, Ed Eckstein, Larry Fink, Dan R. Talley, and Luke Wynne. Asked to depict Allentown, Pennsylvania, they produced work that captures the multifaceted nature of the city. Their photographs investigate the meanings of the built environments and document Allentown's relationship to the past and its future at a time when the city is undergoing significant development and a cutural renaissance. This exhibition is the first project of its kind to be executed on such a scale in Allentown. It allows area photographers to engage with new audiences and marks the Allentown Art Museum of the Lehigh Valley's commitment to fostering the city's contemporary arts scene and bringing locally relevant, thought-provoking work to the community. Allentown X7's complex portrait of Allentown today reveals the city's challenges, beauty, and ongoing transformation. Allentown X7: Photographic Explorations was curated by Luke Wynne, a photographer based in Easton, Pennsylvania, and one of the artists featured in the show.' (-from the front flap).
