It
is nice to see Angela Strassheim’s elegant
black and white crime scene photographs out and about again since their debut
at Marvelli Gallery. If you missed them, the pictures are taken under a black
light and with a forensic liquid that illuminates where blood has hit a surface.
Without the purple glow of TV CSI scenes, the pictures almost read as if someone
had snuck into unsuspecting people’s homes and made invisible splatter art in
their living rooms. Of late, Strassheim has been pairing with great effect the
black and white crime scene work with color photographs of bright suburban
homes where I assume the bloody interiors are located. It’s a shame the show
didn’t include more exteriors. The exhibit also featured work by Brian Gaman, Don Hamerman, and Andy
Graydon, none were was all that exciting, but nonetheless it is nice to see
Strassheim’s pictures up in Brooklyn.
