Jessica Ferguson: Museum of Memory at U of L

"My work is slow, handbuilt, and cumulative, rather like the layering of dust of memories over time."

The University of Louisville Hite Art Institute is pleased to announce an exhibition of pinhole photography by Jesseca Ferguson of Boston, Massachusetts, titled “Museum of Memory” in Gallery X of Schneider Hall Galleries on Belknap Campus.

Ferguson’s photography alludes to the passage of time, and to what she refers to as a “private interior library” which she believes serves as a paradigm for collective and personal memory. The work exhibited combines 19th, 20th, and 21st century photographic techniques.

Ms Ferguson will be a visiting artist at the Hite in September and present the Barbara Bullitt Christian Memorial Lecture titled “Presence, Absence, and Pinhole Photography” Thursday, September 18 at 6:30 pm in the Hite Galleries. A reception to meet the artist, beginning at 5:00 pm that afternoon, will precede her talk. For further information about Ms. Ferguson or Barbara Bullitt Christian Lecture, contact the Schneider Hall Galleries at (502) 852-6794.
