ROGER BALLEN: “In Retrospect” — One Artist | Two Cities | Two Exhibitions

Curated by Steven Benson, DSC Professor of Photography.  This retrospective exhibition spans over 40 years of image making and leads us through many incarnations of thought and process by one of the most influential and important photographic artists of the 21st century. The photography, installations and videos of Roger Ballen have been shown in important institutions throughout the world and he is represented in many Museum Collections such as Biblioteque Nationale, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France; Tate Modern, London, UK, Museum Folkswang, Essen, Germany and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA.

Through Feb. 4, 2017
Adam Nadel: “Getting the Water Right” —  The culture and politics of water in the Everglades
“Getting the Water Right” is the motto and goal of Everglades restoration. The development of South Florida’s coastal communities and agriculture has reduced the Everglades in size by half. Now, the ecosystem is at risk, threatening the region’s water supply, scientifically —  and internationally —  recognized subtropical wetlands, and the water rights and ways of life of indigenous and nonindigenous peoples. Adam Nadel’s images are presented alongside scholarship by Jessica Cattelino to offer insight into how the world’s costliest ecosystems restoration is as much a social and cultural project as a scientific one.

BERENICE ABBOTT: “North and South” — Photographs of U.S. Route 1.
During the summer of 1954, photographer Berenice Abbott set off with two companions to tour the expanse of Route 1. The group left from New York City and drove south to Key West. There, they turned around retracing their route until they reached the most northerly point; Fort Kent, Maine. During this excursion, Abbott created more than 2,400 negatives. She devoted the next two years to developing prints and a prospectus illustrating the historical importance of the project. Her goal was to capture the character of the time in the ever transient face of America.
Exhibition Film Series: Water — With climate change, pollution, and privatization — water, our most valuable resource, has become a hot topic. This film series takes a look at water through many different perspectives to consider its beauty and life-giving nature, the animals that live in it, how we use it, and what can be done to conserve and protect it. Admission by donation. Showtimes at 2 p.m. Wednesdays in the Madosrky Theater.
