Old School, New Rules
February 15 – April 13, 2019
Gallery of Photography
Showcasing photographers who use 19th and early 20th century processes to comment on contemporary issues and subjects, the exhibit highlights how these antique methods of artistic expression can still have powerful validity in today’s world. Despite, or perhaps because of, the readiness, ease, and ubiquity of photography in the 21st century, there has been a movement of photographic artists who have turned to early processes like the tintype, ambrotype and daguerreotype to delineate their subjects, imbuing their work with a beauty and material quality not found in photos made with social media and instant filters. The exhibition will include work by David Emitt Adams, Binh Danh, Jill Enfield, Mark Katzman, Annie Lopez, Barbara McDonnell, Eric Omori, Keliy Anderson Staley, and Will Wilson.

Identity: Art by Students of Wentzville High School

This exhibit showcases the talents of students from Wentzville High School who, in their curriculum, study the expression of identity. Humanity shares a common characteristic—the desire to be recognized by others. One common way to gain recognition is through the individual pursuit of originality. The works in the exhibition aim to convey a sense of how we identify, justly or not, one another’s individuality based on the experiences of living in a diverse society.
