The National Arts Club (NAC) presents An Endless Summer, an exhibition by Charles Johnstone, opening in March 2022. An Endless Summer brings together a tightly-edited collection of Polaroids, both regular and expired, from five projects shot in California, New York, and Florida and offers thematic stylistic connections between them. The title is a direct nod to aniconic surfing documentary The Endless Summer (1966), and immediately evokes hot summer days spent by the water, on the beach or by the swimming pool. Johnstone captures fleeting memories from various summer moments he cherishes. In these images, through careful framing and thoughtful composition he creates a mood that feels relaxed and welcoming.

“Restraint + Desire” is the culmination of a lifelong creative partnership between husband and wife Ken Graves and Eva Lipman. Shooting the same subject simultaneously, the couple edits the film from both cameras, never revealing who clicked the shutter for the final photograph selected. For decades Graves and Lipman documented high school dances, military ceremonies, football games, boxing matches, and other American social rituals, seeking to capture the complex intensity between humans often overlooked in these commonplace settings.
