This exhibition highlights works concerned with the ebb and flow of social, political, and artistic trends and how these tropes and themes can return with differing focus and intensity. Presenting the swell of ideas, explorations, and concerns of emerging photographers from within the Midwest, the exhibition demonstrates how they see, process, and contextualize the recurrence and reemergence of social, political, and artistic trends in their own practices that establishes a new World Record. This exhibition serves as an artistic interpretation of world events/records from the perspective of emerging artists from across the Midwest.
In addition to the opening, a group of exhibiting artists will be participating in an exhibition walkthrough. This will be an opportunity for the artists to speak about their works, the exhibition theme, and take questions from the audience.
Participating artists: Jorge Ariel Escobar, Jamie Ho, Penny Molesso, Brian Garbrecht, and Corryn Birkeland, and Katie Glass.
