Скачать или смотреть Chip Simone Artist Talk, Edge to Edge

Curated by Chip Simone, Edge to Edge was on view September 3 -December 10, 2016

“Edge to Edge” was the first ever state-wide survey of contemporary Georgia photography. The was chosen for its visual strength, expressive sophistication, and technical artistry.

Photography has taken a prominent place in the artistic culture of the contemporary South. Once limited to the traditional themes of the rural and historic south; of rustic barns and rusted trucks; of simple living and country ways, the photographs in this exhibition were modern and reflected a more diverse and complicated world. The pictures were made between the final days of the 20th century and the birth of the 21st. They mirrored modern concerns and coincide with the transition from traditional wet process photography to the technical wonders of the digital age. The photographs revealed a more diverse, vibrant and unsettled south which is part of a new demographic that finds most southerners living in urban and suburban centers. The work in this exhibit reflected many of the changes redefining the modern south.

The works by Georgia’s photographers spanned an eccentric range from familiar and comfortable themes to poetic and provocative evocations, to images that are disquieting and disturbing. These pictures challenged the viewer who expected southern stereotypes with mysterious narratives, poetic revelations, and complex abstractions. The exhibition presented a richly diverse array of the many varied ways contemporary photography is being used artistically and expressively by photographers from across our state, corner to corner and edge to edge.
