Contemporary Southern Photography
Part I: Southern Perspectives
Opening: Friday, September 9, 6:30 – 8:30pm

Popblossom and our Partners, Slover Library Foundation and Work Program Architects, are pleased to present FACING SOUTH Part I: Southern Perspectives, two exhibitions featuring the works of three rising stars of Contemporary Southern Photography, Matt Eich, Susan Worsham & Eliot Dudik. 

FACING SOUTH explores the role photography plays in shaping present-day perceptions of Southern identity. Touching on themes of history, memory, preservation, loss and community, FACING SOUTH reflects upon the Southern experience as well as endeavors to create a context for sharing thoughts and challenging notions about the region.

The Sleeping Theater

Thom would like to thank all who came out to the opening of his first solo art exhibition, The Sleeping Theater, and also to invite you to his artist talk tomorrow evening at 6pm. More information can be found via this this link. Thom will be telling the story behind the works and discussing the various processes and methods used to make them.01-Exhibition (17)02-Exhibition (8)03-Exhibition (20)04-Exhibition (15)05-Exhibition (2)06-Exhibition (3)

 

A number of Thom’s wonderful friends, family members, and colleagues helped make the show happen. Olivia Morgan (former WPA colleague) built the “Theater Tower”, Randy Hess of NEST Home made the frames and offered invaluable curatorial advice, Dustin and Matthew Wallace of Prince Ink produced the screenprints, Cindy and Brian Leydet of Business Document Solutions (BDS) provided scanning and printing services (at all hours!), Akin Yildiz and Beau Turner of 757 Makerspace 3D-printed the  “Pulse Cubes”, Peter Johnston (WPA) helped hang the show, Peter Paik (dear friend) was kind enough to loan back a piece to show, Yuzhu Zheng of UP Studio photographed the opening (including the shots in this post), and Beth White (WPA and Thom’s wife) offered endless support and inspiration.
