THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT REVISITED — Three Portfolios from the Permanent Collection. This exhibition brings together images by seven documentary photographers that captured life in the years leading up to and during the Civil Rights Movement in America, ending with the untimely death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968. While created nearly a half-century ago, these images are indicative of the ongoing struggle for race equality in America. They serve as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices, struggles, and inspirational acts of those that participated in this movement, the changes they instilled, and the challenges that remain.
TERRA INCOGNITA: “Photographs of America’s Third Coast” — Richard Sexton
Latin for “unknown land,” Terra Incognita is the result of a 15 year study of the marsh, scrub lands, dunes, beaches, swamps and forests along the Gulf Coast from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Florida Panhandle. This project, by nationally recognized photographer and author Sexton, examines the delicate relationship between man and the environment. Organized by the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.
Feb. 24–May 15
QUAKING ASPEN — Gary Metz
In the 1970s, the late photographer and educator Gary Metz generated a significant body of work that was very much in the spirit of the times. Metz’s “Quaking Aspen: a Lyric Complaint” challenged the first 100 years of landscape photography, which had placed a major emphasis on depicting nature as sublime, heroic and unspoiled. Unlike previous photographers who glorified nature, Metz and his contemporaries wrenched photography out of the national parks and replaced the scenic with the vernacular of the everyday American landscape.
IN EXILE: Paris and New York — Photographs of Fred Stein
Stein was an early champion of street and documentary photography recognized for his iconic images of life in Paris and New York from the 1930s through the early 1960s as well as portraits of important writers, artists, scientists and celebrities of the time, such as Albert Einstein, Salvador Dalí, and Marlene Dietrich. While Stein originally set out to be a public defender, his pastime of photography became his livelihood when he fled from Germany to Paris in 1933, the year Hitler was appointed Chancellor. He fled again from Paris to New York City in 1941. His career was cut short when he died at age 58 and it is only in recent years that his work is getting the recognition it deserves. Wednesday, Feb. 24, 6-8 p.m.: Opening Reception and Lecture with Fred Stein’s son, Peter Stein
Through Feb. 7
ON ASSIGNMENT: At Sea with OCEARCH — Robert Snow
Robert Snow is a Central Florida based editorial and advertising photographer whose work spans multiple genres and styles: from editorial portraits and lifestyle spreads to action sports. In 2013, he took an assignment with OCEARCH, a non-profit organization dedicated to apex predator education and research, emphasizing shark migration patterns. Robert has since participated in 6 expeditions across the globe, from the United States to the Galapagos and Australia, documenting marine scientists at work, often in treacherous waters while in close proximity to some of the largest predators of the sea—risking their lives to better understand these mysterious beings in order to dispel myths and spread awareness as to the important role that sharks play in our global ecosystem.
ANAMALIA: Henry Horenstein
A body of work by noted photographer Henry Horenstein in which he presents elegant and engaging representations of an eclectic mix of land animals and sea creatures. This body of work was created between 1995 and 2001, culled from images taken at various zoos and aquariums. Horenstein is currently based in Boston and teaches at the Rhode Island School of Design. Friday, Feb, 25, 6-8 p.m.: Opening Reception and Lecture with Henry Horenstein
