Sorensen will show short works he has created, including Monkey Dreams and lead audience Q & A along with Cohen.

Alicia Milosz’s [www.amiloszportraits.com ] lenticular portraits of dogs and their owners, parents/children tell a story by showing contrast and similarity. The portraits use two or three flip images that move from one image to the next as you step back and forth while viewing the photo. This technique creates motion or change within the same portrait and when applied to dogs/people, provides humorous results given the uncanny similarities between humans and their most devoted companions. Some of Milosz’s past exhibitions include: UBS PaineWebber Art Gallery, NYC; Winnipeg Art Gallery, Canada; Keihan Gallery, Japan; University of Maryland..
