EXHIBITS
SOUTHEAST MUSEUM OF PHOTOGRAPHY
The SMP offers new and exciting interactive and rotating exhibits in its new facility in the Mori Hosseini Center, Bldg. 1200. Admission to the Museum is free. All events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted. Museum hours: 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Wednesdays and weekends from 1 to 5 p.m. (386) 506-4475. All discussions are wheelchair-accessible. Current special events include a far-reaching and ambitious schedule planned at the museum through Nov. 2. This month's ongoing exhibitions feature "The Florida Wetlands." Lee Dunkel produces some of the most important and compelling photographs of the Florida landscape. No other photographer has concentrated their gaze and camera so consistently to create a body of work that draws out the expressive and poetic possibilities of Florida's natural world.
"Behind the Velvet Rope." As a White House press corps photographer, Chris Usher has enjoyed unparalleled access to the back rooms and corridors of power in Washington, D.C. On the campaign trail, at moments of great national importance and in the day-to-day business of the White House, Usher gives an exclusive, insider's look.
Coming Oct. 4 through Jan. 18, 2009, will be "Jill Greenberg - Photographs." Her unique stylings and interpretations of wild animals and children are in stunning large scale color. Highly conceptual, elaborately designed and uniquely executed, Greenberg's professional work has spawned many emulators. Since the early 1990s she has been known as "The Manipulator" because of the heavily stylized, hyper-real imagery that is now her trademark. Her subjects' shimmering, saturated, supernaturally perfect skin has a luminosity and intensity than can often feel too close for comfort. Most recently, she's been in the news for her controversial take on GOP Presidential Candidate John McCain, as featured in Atlantic Monthly.
Also running Oct. 4-Jan. 18, 2009, will be "Pedro Meyer - Heresies." Mexican photographer Meyer is widely recognized for both his provocative and powerful images and for his pioneering work in digital imaging. Meyer's vivid, magic-realist style photographs have consistently questioned the boundaries of truth, fiction and reality. Heresies is a retrospective exhibition featuring five decades of images by one of the most innovative photographic artists in the world. Heresies challenges and redefines the traditional form of photographic exhibitions by mixing large format prints with new technological elements, including digital galleries and installations that integrate audio, text and images.
Events associated with these exhibits are as follows. All are free and open to the public, unless otherwise stated:
