Opening: Friday, Dec 11, 5-7pm
Juror’s Talk: 5:30pm
CURRENTS is an annual juried exhibition showcasing members of the New Orleans Photo Alliance. Featuring four to five images by each selected artist, the show gives viewers a deeper insight into each photographer’s vision and reflects an overview of contemporary photographic practices. Alexa Dilworth, Publishing and Awards Director at the Center for Documentary Studies (CDS) at Duke University, juried the seventh annual exhibition. In her words: “The thirteen series that I’ve selected for this show interested me in the way they construct stories, shift perspectives, incorporate language, and speak to questions of representation separately and in conversation with each other.”
The featured artists are: Alia Ali (New Orleans, LA /Marrakech, Morocco), Keliy Anderson-Staley (Houston, TX), JT Blatty (New Orleans, LA), Francis Crisafio (Pittsburgh, PA), Benjamin Dimmitt (Fairview, NC), Matt Eich (Charlottesville, VA), Richard Max Gavrich (New Orleans, LA), Molly Lamb (Quincy, MA), Jennifer McClure (Astoria, NY), Heather Oelklaus (Colorado Springs, CO), Donna Pinckley (Little Rock, AR), Aline Smithson (Los Angeles, CA), Qian Zhao (San Francisco, CA)
