Tossed: Solo exhibition by Pelle Cass

Praise Shadows Art Gallery is honored to present Tossed by Pelle Cass, the Boston-based artist’s debut exhibition at the gallery. Cass is celebrated for his still time-lapse images that condense hours of movement and visual minutiae into a single frame. The photographs present objects in a confused levitation, sometimes defying gravity, and always in surprising acts of rising, cresting, and falling. 

An artist talk between the artist and Sarah Montross, Senior Curator at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, will take place on Saturday, April 27 at 3pm. You can watch the recording of this event on Instagram Live here. 

Tossed is a presentation of never-before exhibited works. A grouping of eight photographs on one wall features outdoor scenes where colorful, round objects – basketballs, wiffle balls, tennis balls, apples – arc and bounce in such abundance, as if about to push beyond the frame and into the viewer’s own physical space. What appear to be images of multitudes, however, are actually the labor of one man and a few chosen objects.
