Opening Saturday February 6th: Friday Night at The Palace

You are invited to the opening of Jackie Brenner's Friday Night at The Palace on Saturday February 6th 6-8pm at The Darkroom Gallery.

In this new exhibition, Brenner focuses on Friday night visits to the Sport Palace, a pool hall founded in 1958. Although this game is played in a hall that is dark, dingy, at times dangerous, and permeated by the stale odor of liquor and cigarettes, something magical happens as the player, stick in hand, approaches the large expanse of felt, the balls neatly in the rack awaiting the crash of the cue ball and its resulting chaos. The dignity, beauty and eloquence is astounding.
