AUSTIN, TX – All Street Gallery is pleased to announce (untitled) love story no. 1, an exhibition of works by members of the All Street Collective, on view at Satellite Ranch Art Show from March 7 - 15, 2025 (719 Shady Lane, Austin, TX 78702). The multidisciplinary exhibition showcases an ongoing, collaborative series exploring the narrative arc of a singular relationship across alternative timelines, settings, and circumstances through the use of photography, textiles, writing, artist books, performance, and sound installation. Utilizing their personal experiences and distinct creative mediums, multidisciplinary photographer Eden Chinn, performers Paula Romeu Garcia and Ciaran Short, writer Aziza Afzal, and sound designer Jabari Butler have collaboratively designed a universe surrounding the imagined meeting, courting, relationship, and eventual breakup of the two characters. 

Both conceptually and materially, (untitled) love story no. 1 employs abstraction and translation: original photography is transformed through post production editing, print processes, and narrative organization, leveraging different mediums to recreate and expand upon photographic memories that are necessarily unreliable depictions of love. The photographs on view highlight close detail, while simultaneously obfuscating visual information, inviting skepticism and dual interpretations. Meanwhile, the translation of photographic imagery into other mediums – from writing to domestic objects and textiles – creates distance from the voyeurism often present in photographic portraiture, and decenters the notion of a singular artist through collaborative processes of translation. Moreover, this process aligns with the transformation of memory: the ways memories warp with the passage of time, through different emotional states, and from different subjective interpretations.

For the series’ exhibition at Satellite Ranch, the artists invite audience members into a vignette of tender moments within the protagonists’ relationship. Photographic depictions of love are combined with domestic materials, making the relationship and its memory inseparable from items in the home. The photographic series and its accompanying text walk the uncertain line between idealized and unsettling depictions of love. Romantic perfection becomes inseparable from codependency, as well as the idea of home, and sense of self. The series seeks to question our inherited ideals of romance, ownership, selfhood, and enmeshment. The project is a response to overthinking, questioning “what could have been,” and the unsettling sense of losing trust for one’s sense of reality in intimate partnerships. 

About All Street Gallery:
All Street Gallery is a New York City-based multidisciplinary arts collective that runs art galleries with locations in the East Village and Chinatown, and focuses on exhibiting work by emerging and underrepresented artists. The collective originated as a grassroots protest group that formed in 2018, organizing public art activations in NYC, with community artworks acquired by the Museum of the City of New York, the New-York Historical Society, and the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts. All Street continued organizing exhibitions, activations, and workshops until finding its home in the spring of 2022 at 77 East Third Street. In the spring of 2023, All Street opened up a second storefront gallery at 119 Hester Street that has an exhibition and a studio space shared by members of the collective.
