"Distressed" by Katie Ames

Fine Art Photographer Katie Ames presents "Distressed", a series now showing in the lobby of Weiss Hall at Temple University. Each photograph challenges the viewer and puts them in the restless place of the observer/culprit hovering over these women in distress. It's a haunting series that not only comments very strongly on the roles within the domestic space but also on the roles of a photographer as a subject.

"Distressed" will be up till March 29th.

Good Job Katie!

Annual Student Show

March 15th - 26th
The Annual Student Show is up! Definitely a must see. The photography show is an excellent mixture of styles and subject matter. We basement dwellers pulled through on this one! This is truly an excellent picture (hah) of what this department can do and the willingness to explore different ways to portray the world.
Well done to all those who put work in!

Emily Rooney MFA Thesis Exhibition "Naked Night"

Spring has arrived early with the much anticipated opening of MFA Photography student Emily Rooney. Being the first show of the season is not only a daunting task, but it is also a grand opportunity to lay the framework of expectations for what follows. With "Naked Night" Rooney presents her viewers an intimate (almost foreboding) expression through solidified artifacts, a transcendental video piece, and a few photographs to help compliment our intake. Making use of all three spaces in the Temple Gallery, Rooney keeps her work grounded making room for breath and reconciling eastern ideals for a mellow (almost affectionate) interaction.

Before the opening, Charlie and I were lucky enough to take our time with each installment slowly deducting and reflecting our opinions with each other. It was clear to us, with Rooney's vast openness, that we had to take everything in slowly and attentively. This was beneficial to our understanding and left a profound emotional impact on both of us. I would advise anyone to do the same.

Emily's show will be on display the weekend of March 18th to 19th. Not a lot of time, but I'm hoping this show will emerge into other galleries in the coming future.

CONGRATS ROONDOG WOOOO!

much love XOXO,

First Friday

Often, art is reduced to the viewer's (limited) perspective and I can only speak of my own interpretation. Annie's work explores a well known scene (the landscape) and throws the cast of illusion over it. Instantly I was distanced, held at arms length from the natural things I had taken for granted. It is a twist and pull that grabs at our abilities to trust our eyes, when that trust is taken, what do we do with it?

Come see Annie's show in the Atrium this Friday 5-7 p.m.

Charlie and George
