Photographer Chris Jordan returns with Running the Numbers II: Portraits of Global Mass Culture. Known for portraying statistics through photographic imagery, his new series looks at mass phenomena that occur on a global scale. Similarly to the first Running the Numbers series, which Jordan exhibited at the Winsor Gallery in January 2008, each image portrays a specific quantity of something: the number of tuna fished from the world's oceans every fifteen minutes, for example. But this time the statistics are global in scale, rather than specifically American.

Gary Pearson presents a cast of characters and scenes that reflect his interest in the transitional nature of life itself. Life’s ubiquitous drift, as represented in subjects that are unspectacular, banal even, supporting cast subjects if the type associated with snapshot aesthetics, background, transitional and secondary scenes. While Pearson’s view of life’s drift may be represented by a fleeting moment of activity or expression, there is also a suggestion of a broader context and syntactical meaning, commenting the moment or detail to the larger world of everyday life and human experience.
