Rice Polak Gallery is partnering with the Provincetown Arts Society, located at the Mary Heaton Vorse House, to present a mid-career review entitled “Anthology” of Susan Mikula’s work. It will run August 10 – September 10.

Mikula is a storyteller, chronicling spaces and places that are marked by the history and presence of the people whose lives have formed and filled them. She shoots in unique-positive, analog instant photography with often past-expiration film stocks, which are then digitally processed for exhibition.

“I’m thrilled to be able to take this wide-view look at what I’ve been scratching away towards all these years,” said photographer Susan Mikula. “These images – many shown at this show for the first time – are all from Polaroid originals, taken in natural light. Narrative but not literal, with a kind of indefinition that hopefully gets under your skin. The Mary Heaton Vorse House is such a beauty herself; it’s an honor to show this work on her walls as well as Rice Polak Gallery’s.”
