We have seen it before throughout recent agricultural history. With the best of intentions we have introduced plants and trees from the other side of the world over the past five centuries. Might our science labs be introducing something today that we will find invasive in time? These prints explore both sustainable fabrics, invasive plants and the ironies of our solutions.

Revival: Historical Processes in Contemporary Photography

Revival focuses on contemporary artist who are utilizing 19th century photographic methods. Cyanotypes, tintypes, wet plate collodion, ambrotypes and platinum prints will all be represented.

"Digital photography has democratized the photographic image by creating a universal look, style, and aesthetic. Within this “Mono-culture”- Everyone is now a photographer – via digital cameras, camera phones, and computers. With this exhibition, I wanted to bring a group of photographers together, who make photographs using processes that were once modern and cutting edge. The photographers in this exhibition are part of a rebellion against the hegemony of digital photography. By employing historical photographic processes, these photographers make images that blur the lines between photography, printmaking, and fine art. Each individual photo process in this exhibition has its own distinctive look from – Dreamlike soft-focus to stark hard lines, pastel colors to warm creaming tones. These processes are still relevant today by providing a link to photography’s history, and an alternative to the slickness of the digitized image. It is true that- Everything old is new again."
