Artist Talk and Reception: Preston Gannaway

@ The Griffin Museum is pleased to host and artist talk and reception for Preston Gannaway‘s exhibition Remember Me, on view July 31 – September 6, 2026. Please join for a special conversation with Preston, along with Rich and EJ St. Pierre – the two main characters at the center of Gannaway’s long term project, Remember Me. In Remember Me, Preston Gannaway photographs a New Hampshire boy, EJ, for over 20 years, following the death of his mother at the age of 4. The interplay of everyday details, landscapes and portraits work together to create an intimate longitudinal essay on time, loss and mortality. © Preston Gannaway © Preston Gannaway © Preston Gannaway About the artist Preston Gannaway (b. 1977) is a documentary photographer and queer artist whose work examines the relationships between individual, community and landscape.
