Summer Art Exhibit
DE | MARCATION: A Survey of Contemporary Photography in Utah: June 8th - August 25th
View this art exhibit anytime the Library is open. The exhibit is primarily on the second floor of the Library.Â
DE | MARCATIONÂ was originally conceived by Amy Jorgensen to support the unique vision of artists in the state of Utah and to build on the rich discourse of image making in the region.
Curated by Amy Jorgensen and Edward Bateman with included critical essays. Portfolio box, letterpress printed title, index and essay pages created in collaboration with Red Butte Press at the University of Utah, distributed by Granary Arts.
Early photographic surveys of the American West explored the physical territory; this portfolio examines the conceptual landscape of creative practice by photographic artists spanning the vast spaces of Utah. The artists have strong connections to the state and their images represent a diversity beyond geographic boundaries; they interrupt convention and draw new lines. Intended to serve as a document of a historical moment, this portfolio was created as
an act of generosity, especially through its inclusion of a younger generation of artists who represent not only the current state of photographic art, but also its future.
Included Artists: Kimberly Anderson, Christine Baczek, David Baddley, Edward Bateman, David Brothers, Van Chu, Samuel Davis, Daniel George, Haynes Goodsell, Mark Hedengren, Amy Jorgensen, Natalie Kirk, Karalee Kuchar, Carsten Meier, Bernard C. Meyers, Andrew Patteson, Kim Raff, Nancy E. Rivera, Fazilat Soukhakian, Josh Winegar
