FINDING MEANING

Posted on 2021-04-26

Photographs can support the journey through our diverse experiences of processing, loss, and healing; we all react and respond to images differently, based on our own life perspectives. In this exhibition the Center shares a range of photographs to encourage investigation, reflection, and restoration as we explore ideas central to this historical moment. The exhibition (both online and in the Center’s Main and Heritage galleries) will share images within five conceptual pairs that seem particularly resonant at this time: connection/isolation; wellness/illness; solace/discomfort; presence/absence; and communal/domestic. We will create opportunities to share thoughts and responses to the photographs, building a collective and multivocal conversation about how we are experiencing and coping during this time.

SEBASTIÃO SALGADO – EXODUS

Posted on 2021-04-26

In the photographic series “EXODUS”, Salgado documents the dark side of the modern age: the ruthless exploitation of nature and the fate of millions of people on the run who are struggling to survive under the most degrading conditions. Salgado was so affected by this immense suffering that it robbed him of the will to live. Exhausted and disillusioned, he stopped taking photos for several years. However, his wife Lélia Salgado suggested that they reforest the rainforest. In 1998 they founded the Istituto Terra and since then have replanted more than 2.5 million trees. The paradise that Salgado knew as a child had once again emerged. With nature returning, they regained hope and resolved to show others that it is worth getting involved.

FROM THE COLLECTION OF DR. H. RUSSELL ALBRIGHT

Posted on 2021-04-26

For more than four decades, Dr. H. Russell Albright (1934-2017) had a profound impact on the New Orleans Museum of Art, as a donor and trustee. During the 1980s and 1990s, Dr. Albright built a substantial art collection with the intention that it would one day become a permanent part of the museum’s collection. Dr. Albright collected African art, decorative arts, and modern art, but his greatest enthusiasm was for photography. His collection began with acquisitions of important early twentieth-century photographs, but soon shifted toward contemporary works, resulting in a collection with great range from beautiful prints by photographers such as Brassaï and Doris Ulmann to large-scale works by Cindy Sherman, Lorna Simpson, and Yasamusa Morimura, among many others.

JOHN LIPKOWITZ – WILD PLACES, WILD THINGS

Posted on 2021-04-19

John Lipkowitz, a retired NYC attorney, came to photography through exotic traveling he and his wife began in 1998. Thereafter, travel and photography became intertwined and he became drawn to wildlife in Africa, the Arctic and Antarctica as well as the ice and spectacular light in those polar regions. Many trips over the ensuing 22 years were directed to these places interspersed, when his wife Nina had her way, with more culturally oriented sojourns to other parts of the globe such as Asia and Southeast Asia which they visited many times.

Exhibition runs May 7th through to May 30th, 2021

C.W. GRIFFIN – URBAN TRANQUILITY

Posted on 2021-04-19

The exhibition, featuring the work of C.W. Griffin and curated by Carl Juste, is the exploration of a one-block area of downtown Miami surrounding Government Center, an area that provides both graphic and visual movement and a sense of serenity in the busy urban core.

“Miami is unique as a metropolitan city. Even more unique is its tranquil essence felt at its busy urban core. When you go to cities like New York you feel the hustle and bustle. But you don’t feel that in Miami,” Iris PhotoCollective photographer C.W. Griffin said. “There is a sense of calm in our streets. In our downtown you can be relaxed.”

Exhibition runs through to May 31st, 2021

CIG HARVEY – BLUE VIOLET

Posted on 2021-04-19

Harvey’s work is rich with the emotion and awe she is able to elicit through her depictions of the natural world and the magic within it. Her photographs, abundant with color, implied texture, and even scent, explore the five senses, bringing the viewer to the brink of saturation. This collection of photographs is both emotional and celebratory, filled with intense color, light and shadows.

The series, infused with flowers, speaks to the procession of seasons and transitional times. In the image, Scout & The Disco Ball, Harvey plays with dramatic, yet somehow gentle, atmospheric light. The lights from the disco ball appear to dance against the rustic wood walls. Poppies (floating) plays with the delicate line between life and decay. The viewer witnesses the vibrancy of the red and white poppies floating in the river, but is extremely aware of their fragility.
