Solomon Projects is pleased to announce Does This Sound Like 
                  You?, an exhibition of new photographs by Atlanta-based artist, 
                  Sarah Hobbs. The show will premiere a series of seven, large-format 
                  color photographs. This is the artist's second solo exhibition 
                  at Solomon Projects following her successful 2003 exhibition, 
                  Small Problems in Living. The exhibition will be on view from 
                  June 2 to July 30, 2006. An opening reception with the artist 
                  will be held on Friday, June 2 from 6-8 PM.
                  
                  Does This Sound Like You? continues the artist's interest in 
                  psychological-based work, this time exploring the human tendency 
                  to categorize ourselves and others based on dominant personality 
                  traits. The title of the exhibition was inspired by the recent 
                  proliferation of self-help books and websites that claim to 
                  assist the untrained person in self-diagnosis. While the implications 
                  of such could be precarious, Hobbs approaches her subject matter 
                  with wit and familiarity. In the end, Does This Sound Like You? 
                  points the finger back at the viewer, asking the question of 
                  ourselves. Hobbs's work exposes both our perceptions of others, 
                  and self-perception, through evaluations of others.
