Instant Noun

Description

Instant NOUN : person place thing
Curated by: Lisa Solomon

Opening Reception: Friday June 7 – 6-8pm
Exhibition runs from June 7-July 2, 2013

The first time you shoot a Polaroid it’s like magic. No other photographic process looks, feels or acts like Polaroids do. The second they roll out from the camera they are nostalgic. They usually feel somewhat ethereal, dreamy, and chancy. It is the nature of their process that colors, focus, composition are all slightly uncontrollable. To me, that is what gives them their ultimate power and interest.

In thinking about how we choose subjects to photographs it dawned on me that it’s usually a NOUN that we see depicted: a person, place or thing.

For this exhibition I wanted to simply conglomerate Polaroids, organizing them by these categories. Allowing the randomness of these broad subjects to start to form their own narrative. I simply invited a group of artists/makers/photographers/polaroid enthusiasts/writers/ poets/etc. to send me their favorite NOUN polaroid images. And this show is the result.

Artists include: Shari Altman, Connie Begg, Anne Bowerman, Wendy Crabb, Alison Garnett, Andrea Jenkins, Ava Jenkins, Bob Lake, Jenifer E.S. Lake, Leslie Sophia Lindell, Ann McGarry, Katrina Rodabaugh, Leah Reich, Lisa Solomon

Instant Noun will coincide with a Photoworks Pop-Up Shop as well as a Polaroid Workshop instructed by Andrea Jenkins.
