The title of this exhibition, taken from an early B-side by Belle & Sebastian, is more than just a piece of poetic musing. McGinley does, in fact, know where his summers go. In the summer of 2007, for example, he traversed the United States with sixteen models and three assistants, shooting 4,000 rolls of film. From the resulting 150,000 photographs, he arduously narrowed down the body of work to some fifty images, the best of which are on display here at the gallery.
"the photographs i choose and group together aren't really reality -- it's not real life. someone once said to me that it's always warm in ryan mcginley photographs. you never feel cold. you always feel like you are in the sun. and i love that."
