This exhibition presents recent work by four photographers based in the U.S. all of whom deal, to some degree, with conventions of portraiture. One, Phyllis Galembo, is a New York-based artist who has numerous museum exhibitions and publications to her credit. The other three — Kevin Kline, Herman Mhire, and Sonja Rieger — are based in New Orleans, Lafayette, and Birmingham, respectively, and their works are known primarily to a regional audience. Beyond this immediate geographic distinction, other connections beckon: Mhire and Galembo were both born in the places they currently live, while Rieger is originally from Germany, and Kline from Colorado. All except Kline have supported themselves in part through academic pursuits, and while Mhire and Rieger use digital processes to create their work, Galembo and Kline both work with celluloid film. Nearly all of Galembo’s and Rieger’s subjects are African, Haitian or African-American, a distinction that is not as meaningful in either Kline’s or Mhire’s work. Click for more info.
