The Collector’s Guide to New Art Photography: Volume Two

“I was very impressed by the curatorial direction of “The Collector’s Guide to Emerging Art Photography.” Much of the best work that I saw by young artists in 2008 during portfolio reviews and studio visits was represented in the publication. Further, and quite importantly, there was a great deal more work that was entirely new to me that I fully intend to research for possible inclusion in group shows and projects at my gallery in New York City.” – Brian Clamp, Owner, Clamp Art

Description

Artwork by women artists that applauds, challenges or transcends the bird illustrations of John James Audubon.

Opening Reception: May 7th, from 6-9pm.

Juror, Karen Bondarchuk received her MFA in sculpture from The Ohio State University, and her BFA in sculpture and video from NSCAD University in Halifax, Canada. She is Assistant Professor of Art at the Gwen Frostic School of Art at Western Michigan University. Her artwork includes sculpture, kinetics, bookmaking, drawing, video and performance, and incorporates a wide array of materials from wool to scavenged tires to bagpipes. Her current work explores the level of artificiality that defines our relationship with the wild, and the reality that most close encounters with wildlife are by human design. Bondarchuk has exhibited and performed in the United States, Canada, Italy, and England, and her work is in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Canada and numerous private collections.
