OSMOS Station Presenting Tay, DeLattre Exhibitions

STAMFORD — For UPSTATE ART WEEKEND 2025, OSMOS Station is presenting two exhibitions: one by current  Arts&Rec artist-in-residence, Wei Leng Tay (born 1978 in Singapore), entitled, Image / Time, and the  other by Catherine DeLattre (born 1949 in Pennsylvania), entitled, Shoppers & Interiors.  Opening Saturday, July 5th, 2025, 2pm to 6 pm, Artist talk and reception, July 19, 6pm to 8pm, During UAW July 17 to July 21, open 10am to 6pm.

Current artist-in-residence, Wei Leng Tay deconstructs photographs from a family archive in an  ongoing series, entitled, Image / Time. Through processes of fragmentation and manual alterations,  she comments on photographic systems and substrates. These deconstructions are presented in  conversation with an earlier portrait work from 2012. Together these diverse works question  photography's roles in influencing one's understanding of the world around them. 

The second exhibition on view during Upstate Art Weekend 2025, presented by OSMOS, is work from  two of Catherine DeLattre’s photographic series, namely, Shoppers, Broadway Upper West Side,  NYC, 1979-80 and Interiors, Monongahela, Pennsylvania, 1977-78. DeLattre’s interiors from her  childhood home are saturated, closely cropped, and intensely focused, to show not only the  idiosyncratic fashion trends and color choices of the 1970s, but also her own sense of intimate  familiarity crossed with critical distance. For the Shopper’s series, Delattre positioned herself every  day for an entire year (weather-permitting), on a corner near Fairway Market to capture with her TLR  Mamiya women -- mostly older and many immigrants – outfitted to do their daily shopping. This  unprecedented body of color street photography from the 1970s had remained in the artist’s archive  until only a few years ago. Delattre’s ability to oscillate between personal memento and period style  produces haunting and precisely observed vignettes.
