Missoula Redux

September 2020 - February 2021

The first building constructed at 120 N Higgins was occupied by McKay Art Company. Proprietor Rollin H. Mckay was a prolific photographer who documented Missoula's neighborhood and architecture, citizens and community events throughout the first half of the 20th Century.

Today, 120 N Higgins has been beautifully reconstructed and reimagined, designed by the current owners with its art-filled historical footprint in mind. In that vein, Allez set out to create an exhibition that drew from Missoula's past and honored the vibrant creativity of its present. Seven artists were each given a different photograph taken by McKay, or his predecessor F.M. Ingalls (who documented Missoula from the 1880's to the 1910's). The artists manipulated the photos in their respective styles, using digital tools or hand-applied mediums. The seven artworks were then scanned, enlarge, printed and installed on the Allez walls. The resulting exhibition- Missoula Redux- hopes to convey something simultaneously old and new, connecting artists and viewers across the divide of time.
