Opening Reception January 4th at 5PM
Art in the ordinary of everyday [urban]life, is the binding theme in the collection of photographs in this first time exhibition by award-winning photographer Edward Tsimerman, who has traveled to 22 countries on his photographic journey. The selected photos in this exhibition are from 7 countries taken in a period of 5 years.
Edward Tsimerman has honed his skills as a talented photographer, participating in workshops by leading Magnum photographers such as: David Alan Harvey, Martin Parr, Bruce Gilden, Alex Webb, Gueorgui Pinkhassov, and Mark Power. He has participated in exhibitions in the United States and Russia, and has been top-ranking in several significant street photography competitions including the Miami Street Photography Festival Contest at Art Basel Miami 2016 and the 2017 StreetFoto San Francisco competition.
Edward Tsimerman grew up in the Soviet Republic of Uzbekistan with an interest in design and the arts instilled by his maternal grandfather, a noted Soviet modernist architect Aleksandr Faynleyb. He immigrated to the United States in St. Louis, Missouri when he was 18 years old, and soon after started his Master’s of Architecture program, completed in 2007. Besides being a photographer, Tsimerman also runs his own property development company, which he started last year after 6+ years working for architectural firms in St. Louis area in parallel to following his passion for photography. He continues to document his travels and hopes to share his images for years to come.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My work explores my relationship as a photographer capturing ordinary moments in the lives of others in urban
environments. My late grandfather, a noted modernist architect in the Soviet Republic of Uzbekistan, and my great Magnum photographer mentors and instructors have had great influence on my technique. I am interested in capturing the tension between the modern-life in the traditional city setting as backdrop. Ever since childhood, I have been fascinated by the camera and photographic process. Recently returning to film photography after years of shooting digital, I find this process resonates with a quality that aids in my hope to express that everyday life is, in fact, art.

“What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day.
You took my heart and threw it away.
That’s why I ask the Lord in heaven above,
What is this thing called love?”
– Cole Porter
Linda Lee Thomas was the Southern beauty who married and was a driving force behind legendary songwriter Cole Porter at the dawn of the roaring twenties. Though Cole Porter was gay, their companionship and love lasted through 35 years of marriage and a spectacular, glamour-filled life. With innovative jazz arrangements, the timeless music and lyrics of Cole Porter weave through Love, Linda examining the darker sides of their life, while also celebrating the deep love that blossomed through their unconventional relationship. The score includes, Night and Day, I Love Paris, In the Still of the Night and Love for Sale.
This one-woman musical tour-de-force stars the incomparable Debby Lennon. Veteran Broadway and St Louis favorite Ken Page directs.
“One of the best Cole Porter shows ever.” Robert Kimball, historian and author of “The Complete Lyrics of Cole Porter.”

It’s October 1517, and the new fall semester at the University of Wittenberg finds certain members of the faculty and student body at personal and professional crossroads. Hamlet (senior, class of 1518) is returning from a summer in Poland spent studying astronomy, where he has come in contact with a revolutionary scientific theory that threatens the very order of the universe, resulting in psychic trauma and a crisis of faith for him. His teacher and mentor John Faustus (Professor of Philosophy) has decided at long last to make an honest woman of his paramour, Helen, a former nun who is now one of the Continent’s most sought-after courtesans. And Faustus’ colleague and Hamlet’s instructor and priest, Martin Luther (Professor of Theology), is dealing with the spiritual and medical consequences of his long-simmering outrage at certain abusive practices of the Church. Tavern disputes, tennis duels, 16th century lounge hits, and the slings and arrows of outrageous wit will tickle your brain into overdrive.
With Casey Boland, Steve Isom, Alan Knoll, and Caitlin Mickey. Directed by Philip Boehm.
