The exhibit is on view in the Sheffer Gallery from June 7 - August 6, 2022.

Westport icons Ann Chernow and Miggs Burroughs double up in  this exhibit inspired by the characters and contexts of classic film  noir. Featuring Chernow’s stone lithographs and etchings of femme  fatales, and Burroughs’ lenticular photographs drawn from “Double  Indemnity” movie footage, the artists harness the stylistic elements of  deep shadows, striated light and distorted angles that have become the  hallmark of the genre. “Double Indemnity” explores the visual power  found in the well-crafted deceits and betrayals that are at the black  heart of this iconic movie genre.

Film series continues:

Thursday July 7 and Thursday July 14. Movies to be announced. Forum 7pm.. Please check the website for updated schedule.
