Dog Park Series
Luke Jordan
One of our staff members spotted an impressive exhibit at The Art and Design Gallery. The Middle: Photo-Based Works by Artists Living in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa encompasses many approaches in the area of photography. Although the subject matter of the works are intriguing, the show consists of a wide range of styles and formats, proving that photography is still evolving and that experimentation is still possible.
We visited the opening on Final Friday. We asked photography teacher Angela Perkins about some of the techniques used by the artists in the show. "The show is a good representation of where photo is currently." She explained that current photographers work in a variety of processes to achieve images including film, digital, photogram, pigment prints, hybrids, and others.
We have many favorite pieces. Luke Jordan's Dog Park features two horizontal format prints which look abstract and create a story. We also liked, A Few Pommes Frits consisting of many small pigments prints of a line, with a minimalist appearance. On closer look, the lines are actually images of a single french fry, each with their own character for each frame. In another picture of two girls in dresses, we see one of them holding a card that shows it is Christmas day for them.
The show runs until February 7.
