BlackFlash Fall 2021: A Temporary, Collectively-Held Space was developed in partnership with the MacKenzie Art Gallery. The unique guest-edited issue is an extension of Carmen Papalia’s summer exhibition Provisional Structures at the MacKenzie Art Gallery curated by Nicolle Nugent.
The MacKenzie Art Gallery is honored to have been a part of this collaborative BlackFlash issue as an extension of our work with Carmen Papalia, the Provisional Structures project and our commitment to accessibility.

Image Description: The top two thirds of this photograph are filled with an ultra-close-up of a red lettuce leaf, taken from beneath, positioned as if it’s an awning protecting the camera from the sun. The leaf is wide, ruffled, and dew-dropped, and sunlight penetrates the green segments, but not the red. Beneath the red lettuce awning, a view of many rows of varieties of lettuce, round and full, at their prime for harvest, growing from dark soil.
