TRICK OF THE LIGHT: Contemporary Photography Curated by Dennis Kiel Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center December 14 - January 11, 2008 Trick of the Light invited artists to submit recent photography-based work in an effort to assemble a compelling exhibit revealing the power of light-based imagery to communicate, express, or evoke a visceral first-hand experience as strong any painting or sculpture exhibit. Dennis Kiel, former long-time curator of photography at the Cincinnati Art Museum, graciously accepted Manifest's invitation to guest curate the gallery's first full photography exhibit. Kiel is now Chief Curator at the Light Factory in Charlotte, North Carolina. About the exhibit the curator states: "Trick of the Light is not an exhibition about deception or magic, although many of the images are indeed magical. It is a collection of diverse imagery full of wonder and personal interpretation that makes us think and reflect about situations in our own lives." For Trick of the Light, 414 entries from 120 artists were received. The intense jury and curatorial process resulted in fifteen works by eleven artists from six states and Japan being chosen for inclusion in this exhibit and companion 48 page catalog (which also includes the concurrent exhibit Funny Men in the drawing room). The Exhibition Includes Works by: Robert Coomer (Batavia, Ohio) Diane Deaton-Street (Louisville, Kentucky) Laura Fisher (Cincinnati, Ohio) Richard Gilles (Folsom, California) Tama Hochbaum (Chapel Hill, North Carolina) Daniel Kariko (Tallahassee, Florida) Jaime Kennedy (Kent, Ohio) Tom McFarlane (Morningview, Kentucky) Francis Michaels (Monroe, Ohio) Seiko Oka (Osaka, Japan) Michael Sherwin (Morgantown, West Virginia) What you�ll see: - 54 views of ocean water - a "tragedy" - old houses and a portable dwelling - illumination - black, white, and color - digital and traditional - very large, and very small Manifest is funded in part by: The City of Cincinnati, The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation, the Ohio Arts Council, the Fine Arts Fund, the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, and the NLT Foundation. |
