What’s On Now
Illumination: A Collective Vision of Contemporary Photography
Tia x Chatter is proud to present Illumination: A Collective Vision of Contemporary Photography, an exhibition featuring works from ten internationally renowned artists. Spanning generations, styles, and cultural backgrounds, this group of artists challenges the conventions of photography, while exploring the social, political, and personal landscapes of the contemporary world. The exhibition showcases a diverse range of perspectives, from John Baldessari’s conceptual pairing of photographic images with painted ones to William Eggleston’s groundbreaking color photography, while Martine Gutierrez explores both identity and media, and both James Luna and Cara Romero critique the commodification of Native American culture. In addition, Ai Weiwei confronts global issues of human rights and oppression, John Chiara emphasizes texture, and Ola Kolehmainen’s architectural photos capture light and space. Irwin Olaf addresses race and sexuality through stylized compositions and Sylvie Fleury tackles consumer culture. Illumination invites dialogue on identity, power, and the human condition, challenging viewers to rethink the possibilities of the medium of photography.
Opening Reception: Wednesday, October 30, 5-7 pm
