A Baltimore moon in New York City

If you find yourself in New York anytime between now and December 5th, check out “To Think of Time,” photographer Sara VanDerBeek’s first solo exhibit at the Whitney.

Why is the Baltimore Brew telling you about something in New York?

Though she owns a gallery in Manhattan, VanDerBeek is a Baltimore native, and her collection of photos includes a beautiful image of a moon that she found in the house where she grew up in Baltimore.

The image, entitled “Blue Eclipse,” is a photo of a photo of a 1969 lunar eclipse.

Says the New Yorker’s Andrea K. Scott: “The picture’s double identity – at once an image and its echo – sets off a chain of dualities: home and away, past and present, shadow and form, vision and memory.”
