UMMA Projects: Heather Rowe

Wednesday, November 11, 5:30 pm
Irving Stenn, Jr Family Project Gallery

Located at the intersection of sculpture, architecture, and installation, Heather Rowe's hybrid, fragmentary constructions derive their aesthetic frisson from their refusal to adhere to the norms of any one discipline. Jacob Proctor, Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, will discuss Rowe's newest work, a site-specific installation created in direct response to the architectural frame of the gallery itself.

The Image Wrought: Historical Photographic Approaches in the Digital Age

Carole McNamara, UMMA Senior Curator of Western Art, will introduce this exhibition, which displays the work of contemporary photographers who revisit 19th-century photographic approaches such as the daguerreotype, the cyanotype, and the tintype. Wrought from silver, gold, mercury, and iron, the resulting images have a strong physicality and presence.
