Posted by on Wednesday, August 22, 2018 in News and Events.

The Vanderbilt University Department of Art and the experimental, contemporary gallery, Space 204, welcomes 2018 Guggenheim Fellow in Visual Arts and photographer, Kristine Potter with MANIFEST, a new exhibition on view from September 13 thru October 18, 2018. An artist talk, reception, and book signing are scheduled for October 11, 2018 beginning at 3pm and ending at 6pm.

 

MANIFEST is a series of photographs was made in a remote area along Colorado’s western slope between 2012-2015. The pictures describe; an abstractly seen landscape, the mountain men who are its inhabitants, the psychological tenor of living in near isolation, and the unyielding high-desert sun. Kristine sought to question the more persistent tropes of our American Mythology: the rugged cowboy, the dominion of wilderness, and the subjective authorship of those observations from a historically male perspective.

The exhibition reception coincides with the Vanderbilt University Fall 2018 Homecoming event and family weekend.  Additional programming includes an artist talk, reception, and book signing for Potter’s monograph, Manifest, published by TBW Books.
