Event Description

Organized by guest curators Herbert Ascherman Jr. and Jeannette Palsa, As We See Them presents the work of eleven artists who are using some of the earliest photographic processes to create contemporary images dealing with sexuality and the human figure. This diverse group of photographers has put aside digital technology to explore the possibilities of these 19th century processes. Featured works include cyanotypes by Patrick Alt and Charles West, platinum-palladium prints by Herbert Ascherman Jr. and Jeannette Palsa, gum bichromate prints by Laurent Benaïm, photogravures by Constantine Gedal, tintypes by Cynthia Greig, ambrotypes by Ed Ross, daguerreotypes by Charlie Schreiner, and aluminum-types by Mark Sink and Kristen Hatgi.

Public reception for As We See Them: Friday, January 21, 5:00 - 7:00 pm, Kinsey Institute Gallery, Morrison Hall (second floor). This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.

Lecture by featured artist and guest curator Herbert Ascherman Jr. : “Modern Vision, Classic Methods”—Friday, January 21, 4:00 pm, Morrison 007 (ground floor).
