Kirstin Cooksey's Exit Show-Union Grove Feb. 2012

I wanted to go through the photography exit shows this past semester just in case some of you were not able to attend. It was the first time we graduated 5 students with a photo concentration in a single semester. I'm not sure how long it will take for this to happen again. It was a big photo semester. A bittersweet semester ...but off you go. First was the Feb. show of Kirstin Cooksey.

Large Format Exhibit

We are almost ready for a new school year and I wanted to post some things that happened earlier and were never posted. Sorry, these exhibits are not up but the artists are still around.
You should keep their names in mind because they will be out there making an impact.

The following photos are from an exhibit we had in the Salmon Library Gallery entitled Big Prints from Big Cameras. All images are from large format 4x5 or 8x10 negatives.

Photography in all three UAH Galleries

I am so pleased with the photo exhibits up in the galleries now. Two graduating photographers: Setareh Tajbakhsh and Kirstin Cooksey. And one visiting artist: Lee Steenhuis.

Setareh's work is from her visit back home to Iran this past summer. See these 30 amazing images in the Wilson Hall Gallery through March 10th.

In Union Grove Gallery Kirstin Cooksey takes us through an uncomfortable and "Unsettling Time". This is the last week for Kirstin's show so do not miss it. It comes down March 2nd.


In the Salmon Library Gallery we have Lee Steenhuis exhibiting "Hippies, Faeries & Trolls". Lee shows her documentary work on these communities in Tennessee from the 1980s through 2000.
Her show is up until March 9th and Lee will give a slide show at the closing reception on March 8th beginning at 4:30 in the gallery.
