"USES OF PHOTOGRAPHY IN CONTEMPORARY ART"
1999-10-15 until 2000-02-20
Michael C. Carlos Museum, Emory University
Atlanta, GA,
USA United States of America
A small exhibition of works on paper will trace
the ways contemporary artists from the 1960s to the 1990s have
incorporated photography in their work or used it to document their
activities. Robert Rauschenberg's collage appropriation of images from newspapers
and magazines and Josef Beuys's recording of his own performances
establish the basis of this practice, which other artists extend in a
variety of waysÑfrom documenting
installations to copying media images for ironic effects. The exhibition
shows how photography has contributed to the conceptual art that has
dominated recent decades.
In collaboration with the citywide event, Atlanta Celebrates Photography,
the Carlos MuseumÕs exhibition will be curated by Dr. Clark Poling, Art
History Department, Emory University, and Jeff Thompson, Art History
Department Ph.D. candidate, Emory University.
Other artists represented in the exhibition include Matthew Antezzo, Jed
Bark, Chris Burden, Leon Golub and Nancy Spiro, Thomas Lawson, and Jeffrey
Lew.
