Exhibition | Photography 6 2018

THE EXHIBITION

The role of photography in our digital age cannot be overstated. From a medium whose novelty arose from its ability to accurately record the world around us, the art of photography has expanded through technology to one that should not be accepted at face value. Although staging, composition, and artistic intent have always formed the base of photographic artwork, the advance in the medium now open a world of possibilities that were not available even a few years ago. Photography 6 captures the breadth within the photographic world. All works operate from a photographic origin, whether manually or digitally manipulated, raw, or incorporated into mixed media pieces.

Kathleen Sanker

One of the many responsibilities of an artist is to present their audience with a unique mode of seeing through the use of form, subject, and content – a trinity of essential elements. Without this solid foundation, creative ideas fail to develop and grow. Successful art should challenge both artist and viewer to rethink the possibilities of perception and to give voice to that which has heretofore gone unnoticed. The work selected for this exhibition embodies this approach, most specifically in terms of photography and its incomparable ability to command the reconsideration of truths. As stated in the call for submissions:

The selections from the submissions entered in the exhibition are the work that most effectively takes on the task of exercising the photographic conversation as we understand it in this moment. In choosing, I revisited each piece several times, asking myself how my understanding changed with each new encounter. I carefully considered the success of each piece through every detail that I could extract from the work.

A given viewer may agree or disagree with the work that I have chosen, but the reality that each person will possess a different viewpoint is something that is integral to my understanding of the world and of my creative studio and teaching practices. Particular to the arts, it is something that must be embraced and engaged readily along with all of it’s ambiguities and consequences. It is a great privilege to jury the work of my peers, and one in which I am honored to take part.

Kathleen's work investigates the passage of time, memory, and the fleeting nature of experience, particularly in reference to intimate spaces and relationships. She earned her BFA from the University of Missouri-Columbia and her MFA from Washington University in St. Louis. She currently serves as a Professor of Art and Chair of Graphic Design at Saint Charles Community College.
