BODY/OBJECTS: Works by 10 Photographers
Carl Solway Gallery, Cincinnati OH
October 12 December 22, 2012
FOTOFOCUS opening reception at Carl Solway Gallery: October 18, Thursday, 5-8 pm.
Body/Objects: Works by 10 Photographers includes a selection of recent and vintage black-and-white and color photography spanning the last thirty-five years (1977-2012) by artists from the United States and Canada. Artists include: Sarah Charlesworth, John Coplans, Anita Douthat, Cynthia Greig, Ann Hamilton, Suzy Lake, Amanda Means, Laurel Nakadate, Cindy Sherman, Hannah Wilke.
The exhibition features various approaches to depicting the human body and objects related to human presence. It will include photographic documentations of 'body related actions' and artists' performances that were staged or produced as self-portraiture. Light sources become key elements in many of the works, ranging from available light within the artist's own studio, to natural daylight utilized outdoors within the landscape, to artificial studio lighting. The final images may incorporate techniques such as photograms (produced without a camera) or pinhole camera photographs transforming figures within an architectural space.
