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.
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.
