‘Sites’ at Gallery 444 

“Sites” is an exhibition of large-scale black-and-white photographs by Tara Conant. It will be on view at Gallery 444, 444 Commercial St. in Provincetown, through April. The gallery is open by appointment at gallery444ptown.com.

Conant’s project began as the number of murders of women in Western Massachusetts was rising. The photographs depict the scene of the crime, or a nearby location — homes, parking lots, shopping malls — all the more shocking in their ordinariness. They aim to “raise awareness of the ever-increasing level of violence in our society” and “serve as a remembrance for the victims,” according to the press release.
