Emerging Photographers Exhibition-Spring 2009
Corridor Gallery
Opening Reception, Friday, May 8, 5-7pm
As an ongoing collaboration between the Photo Area at the University of Minnesota Duluth and the Duluth Art Institute, this annual exhibition has become an important part of the formation of the next generation of emerging artists that live and work in our community.
This year’s group of photographers will include several artists working in alternative processes such as cyanotype – a photographic process popular in the 1890s. We will also see a full array of digital photographic work that explores a wide range of artistic concepts.
The work of the photographers chosen for this exhibition transcends the usual perception of “student work” and their ability to participate competently at this level reflects highly on the strength of the photography program at UMD.
Comments
Emerging Photographer's show
When I went to the Emerging Photographer's show, one of the series that I enjoyed was the old couple series. There were three images that showed an elderly couple in there home doing ever day activities. The images gave a quiet sober feeling, due to the little activity that was portrayed in the couple’s life. There was a close up picture of the older gentleman. Normally, an older man is not that attractive of an image, however, the pose at which he is sitting and the lighting made this image my favorite. I especial enjoyed these images, for the fact that I work as a nurse’s aid and have a passion for helping the elderly.
