Objects of Desire
Jan 22 - Mar 6, 2004
Whatever its other qualities and uses, photography has always functioned as a collectorÍs medium that allowed artists and others to take vicarious possession of desired objects and hold them steady against the ravages of time. The photographers included in "Objects of Desire" explore both their own desires or those of their photographic subjects, allowing themselves and the viewer to ponder the nature of desire, of what is desirable, and what it means to take photographic possession of objects of desire, ordinary and rare, even when the actual object cannot be possessed.

Elizabeth Gilbert:
Broken Spears, a Maasai Journey
Nov 6 - Dec 2, 2003
George Plimpton noted that "Liz Gilbert's astonishing African photographs of a vanishing culture bring to mind both the texture and feeling of Edward Curtis's work on the American Indians of the early 1900s."

The pages of this book are already history in a compromised, ravaged, denatured continent. Luckily, Liz Gilbert has photographed what is left - everything that is authentic and valuable in Africa."

Eunsook Joo:
Karaoke Girl
Oct 7 - Nov 4, 2003
In the tradition of such contemporary photographers as Nan Golden, Tina Barney, Rineke Dijkstra and her former instructor Gregory Crewdson, questions of identity and relation to cultural space are at the heart of the large-scale color photographs. And, although Joo's direct portraits might seem at first deadpan, ironic, even detached , beneath the placid technicolor surface of these austere portraits there is poetic paradox as doors to private and unfamiliar places open wherein many of us may recognize aspects of ourselves.

May 23 - June 29, 2002
Whether pictured standing in a doorway at home, visiting a pet cemetery to try to find the resting place of Jane Bowles' parrot, walking through a Moroccan market, or examining his elderly face in a mirror, Nutting's camera has captured a man confronting, living, and reflecting upon a life that happens to have been among the most remarkable of the twentieth-century.Read more >
