PROVINCETOWN MAGAZINE August 10, 2022 by G.W. Mercure
The evolution of an artist will be on display when The Schoolhouse Gallery opens its next show on August 12th. The group show will include Pending Memories (Memorias Pendientes), by Adrian Fernandez, alongside work by Elise Ansel, Jefferson Hayman, Jeannie Motherwell, and Han Feng. Fernandez, a Cuban born and raised artist known for mesmerizing documentary and studio photography that often uses digital elements, will exhibit for the first time the sculptural works in metal that are the latest iteration of his long exploration of architecture, memory, and how those relate to each other or do not.

Although Fernandez didn’t formally study photography (he in fact studied sculpture), he has made an impact with his careful and introspective photographs. “In general, everybody that knew some of my work, they would always relate to the photography part but not the sculpture. But now I’ve spent a considerable amount of time producing sculpture in dialogue and in relation to my photographic practice, and I’m showing it in public for the first time at the Schoolhouse Gallery,” says Fernandez.
