Bullet Proof

Bullet Proof: Photography at UF in a Time of Economic Crisis.

While Photography plays a central role in contemporary art worldwide, here at UF the Photography Area has suffered unprecedented losses. Faculty lines have not been filled and spaces where photo students used to work have been taken away.

Featuring the works of 23 artists from the Advanced Undergraduate and Graduate Photography classes, "Bullet Proof" evidences the resourcefulness and resilience or our students in a time of financial crisis. The works, often ambitious in scale and experimental in nature, reflect a range of highly individual responses to a precarious world and to the challenges facing photography students working in UF's School of Art and Art History at this juncture.

Artists in this exhibition: Charles Benton Leah Floyd Hilary Hoffman Samuel Kingsley Brian Mann Timothy McLaughlin Jill Mullins Austin Reeves Kelly Rogers Jayanti Seiler Mark Zimmerman Jessica Beer Elise Carlson Loren Knack Christopher Kristiansen Alyson Maier Alice Mayeron Catherine Murry Ngani Ndimbie Alexis Patterson Jane Pavis Kelly Sims Kayte Susse Stephanie Tyler.

New York, New York—November 2008—Humble Arts Foundation is pleased to announce the opening of Things Are Strange, curated by Jon Feinstein. The group exhibition, which opens on Election Day, presents work by eighteen photographers whose images explores the peculiar, idiosyncratic and often absurd elements of the contemporary world, using them as a metaphor for the current state of social and political affairs. The work includes a range of subjects, from the bizarre phenomena of Emiliano Granado's documentary pictures of ghost hunters and Cara Phillips' transformation of plastic surgery machines into terrifying robots to Eric Percher's exploration of the alienation of late night finance workers and Amy Stein's images of stranded American travelers. Each photographer, by varying degrees, alludes to a world that is gradually falling apart at the seams.
