About
Ten years after graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design a reunion exhibition was organized titled At Second Glance: SCAD Alumni Photography Exhibition, MFA Class of 2002. The show was held in 2013 at the Pei Ling Chan Gallery in Savannah, Georgia. Many classmates and friends descended upon Savannah for the gallery reception. For many this was the first time back in Savannah since graduation.

The photographs featured in Low Country Revisited are works created in response to this return to Savannah by Ryan Flathau, Nicole Jacobs, Darrell Kincer, Gray Lyons and Linda Wilson. For those that have not visited the Low Country, it is a magical place that permeates the soul, creating a lifelong bond. This bond continually beckons for your return.

The snow has melted at last!  And just in time:  this week marks the final few days of our exhibition "Currency" by photograper and Georgetown College art professor Darrell Kincer, capped off with a closing reception for the artist this Friday, February 28, from 5:00 until 7:00pm.  So, if you haven't made it in to see this show yet there is still time; and if you have, now's your chance the meet the artist and mingle with art-loving friends.  (And for the many photograpers among you, this is a chance to find out how Darrell works his amazing darkroom magic to create these images.)

As the exhibition title suggests, "Currency" features silver gelatin prints of imagery and iconography from U.S. dollar bills.  Not only does this show highlight the artistry of engraving in these familiar objects (well, at least I'm familiar with the lower denominations), but by calling attention to whom and what we choose to honor on our money, these pictures raise questions about our national history and mythology.  (For instance, one viewer has already called attention to the lack of women in these images.  Time that Lady Liberty had some company!)  In short, it does what art is supposed to do, both delighting and provoking. 

GALLERY DIRECTIONS:  There’s a map of our location on our gallery web site at JaneChancellorMooreGallery.com.  We're located in the lobby of Kentucky Employees Credit Union, just off the East-West Connector (Hwy 676) at Glenns Creek Road.  Coming from the west end, take the E-W Connector from US127 and turn right at the first stoplight after you cross the river; from the east end, take the E-W Connector from US60 and turn left at the second stoplight.  Coming from elsewhere in Frankfort, turn onto Martin Luther King Blvd from East Main and cross through the intersection with the E-W Connector.  Any way you come, the entrance to the credit union (Moore Drive) will be ahead on your left.

For more information (or better directions!) call Broadstone at (502) 223-4415 or KECU at (502) 564-5597.

Currency Reception in Frankfort, 2/28/14

I have a small show of new work in Frankfort, KY titled Currency. It is an extension of work I had done in the past, using U.S. currency to produce cliché verre prints in the darkroom and process them using mordançage. This was one of the last projects I completed while on sabbatical last semester.

If you have opportunity, I'd love to see you at the closing reception. And yes, the gallery is in a bank!

On Display, Two Upcoming Shows in Louisville

 Unforeseen Visions: Untitled, #12

Two events coming up in the near future to check out. One serious event is the Louisville Photo Biennial. It is a month-long series described as "Louisville's premier photographic festival." I really encourage you to attend at least one of the events. There are shows, lectures, and more throughout the month of October focusing on three topics: Exchange/Generation, People, and Historic Processes. I was invited by Lee Ann Paynter to participate in a group show at Spot5 Art Center titled Process : Effect : Reconsider. It will feature seven regional photo faculty including myself, Lee Ann, Doreen Maloney, Ruth Adams, Rob Dickes, Keith Barker, and Rob Sewell.

Our show will be on display September 23–November 2 at Spot5 Art Center, 2005 Frankfort Ave, Louisville, KY. There will be receptions on October 4, 6:00–9:00 PM and October 25, 6:00–9:00 PM. I will be showing some of my old botanical mordançage work, Unforeseen Visions, to go along with the theme of historical processes.

Snowy Morning, BMW GS, Cincinnati, OH

In addition, I'll have a photograph on display this weekend in Louisville as part of the inaugural Kentucky Kick Down motorcycle show. There are all sorts of things happening, including a bike show, pool tournament, vendors, bike ride, and more. I'm planning to ride up with my old buddy Brian to check it out and see what sort of trouble we can get into. Granted, my sort of trouble is typically quite modest and reserved. If you're there, look for my photo at either The Monkey Wrench or The Barret Bar (age permitting). Should be interesting.

Red Herring, Exhibition Featuring Georgetown Alumni This Friday at LoT in Lexington

On view at Land of Tomorrow, Lexington
Closing reception at 5pm on Friday, April 27th

Land of Tomorrow, in coordination with the University of Kentucky Fine Arts Department, is pleased to announce Red Herring, an exhibition of recent graduate level work by Jackson Bullock, Peggy Coots, Michael J. Hamilton, Ivy Johnson, Trey Jolly, David N. Martin, and Mayuresh Moghe, produced under instructor Joel Feldman. There will be a closing reception on Saturday, April 27th at 5pm.

Red Herring – A fallacy in which an irrelevant topic is presented to divert attention from the original issue.

Each of the artists in this exhibition and their instructor often explore issues of red herring in terms of art making, whether consciously or unconsciously. Although the artists individually explore their own red herring and how it relates to their art making, they acknowledge that their understanding of the term may differ from one another, the instructor, and their audience. The title of this exhibition can possibly be viewed as the group’s communal red herring.

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."

Barbara Bullitt Christian Memorial Lecture
Presence, Absence & Pinhole Photography

Reception prior to lecture
5: 00 pm, Schneider Hall

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.

Show at 930 Art Center, Louisville

I am currently exhibiting a body of work at the 930 Art Center in Louisville entitled "A Sense of Place, Revisited." It will be on display from now until the end of May. There is an opening reception this coming Saturday from 10 AM–12 noon where we'll be discussing the topic of "landscape photography."

The show has 25 pieces, broken into four groupings. Some are color panoramic collages from out west (Tetons, Yellowstone, Badlands), another group has b&w panoramic photos from near Savannah, GA, another set are minimalist seascapes, and the last group are photos from my grandparents' old lake house in TN.

It's always a challenge to stage a show. The real planning typically has more to do with the theme or concept of the entire show – how all the pieces relate in a larger context. This was particularly challenging with the 930 because I have exhibited a variety of works there over the years in group shows. I wanted to show all new work, and that required a little bit of research into my archives. In the end, I'm pretty pleased with the show.

So if you have the opportunity, come join us on Saturday; if not, perhaps visit before May.

Even Deeper: Winters Photography

I must admit that I'm very excited for Michael's show in the Cochenour. I've had the privilege of getting to know him over the past few years as a result of connections with the 930 Art Center in Louisville. I've been able to show a few pieces there and each time I usually get to talk with Michael more and more.

It's exciting when you meet someone with a kindred spirit, who speaks your language; and in our case it's the language of photography. It's fun to sit down and talk shop because we have so much in common, and as a result we can often talk about issues that are more deeply rooted and inherent in our shared medium.

What I wanted to point out with this post is that both Michael and his wife Mickie share the practice and passion of photography and artmaking. To this extent, here's a link to their website where you can see more of their personal work and photography business.

Hope to see you at the reception tomorrow.

Hanover Show, Tonight

The Invisibility of Pictures, curated by Boris and featuring work by Daniel and Darrell, has its closing reception tonight at Hanover College from 6-8 PM with a gallery talk at 6 PM.

We'll be carpooling and heading out from the Wilson Art Building around 3:30 and coming home around 10:00 PM. If you're interested in going, meet us around 3:20 at the WAB and we'll see where we stand with transportation.

Bookends or Lap Joint

Opening reception tomorrow, Thursday, October 28 from 5-7 in the Tuska Gallery at UK, located on Rose Street in the Fine Arts Building (next door to the Singletary Center for the Arts). The show will run from October 28-November 11. Click for HERE for more info.

I hope that you will have the opportunity to come to the opening, or at least see the show before it closes. This is a great chance to see your faculty exhibiting work that you won't want to miss. How often do you get to see your professors practice what they preach?

I have to say that this has been a fantastic experience. Daniel and I had so much fun collaborating and working together. And although it has been exhausting pulling this off, it has certainly been worth the investment.

If you're not aware of how the show works, Daniel and I looked back at our careers (all they way back to our first art classes in college) and created a chronological installation of pieces that stood out to us, culminating in eight collaborative works that we just finished yesterday. My earliest piece is from 1997 and Daniel's, 1998. You could say that there's 2.5 decades worth of work in this show.

It's a bit strange to look back over ten years of work that you've created. I couldn't have ever imagined this day when I took my first art class at Asbury. It's a little overwhelming at times. And I think that may be why this show will be so interesting to our students. They'll have a chance to see what we were doing in college, and, I think, view a lot of work that they've never seen. So again, I hope you get a chance go.
