Young Photography

Visual Studies Workshop, Rochester NY

Multiple Expressions

Young Photography: Multiple Expressions is jointly coordinated by James Holland, Lalla A. Essaydi and Deborah Jack, three of twenty fellows who participated in the prestigious twelfth annual National Graduate Seminar of The Photography Institute. The exhibition, a result of the two-week seminar that focused on cutting-edge issues in photography and visual culture, features over 40 pieces of work by the seminar participants. The 2002 Seminar, entitled 'Projected Images: Visual to Political,' organized by Cheryl Younger, Director of The Photography Institute, sought to encourage a democratic approach to the consideration of photography and to ensure the inclusion of women and minorities, whose voices are often absent from the dialogue. In an era when the status of a photograph as a document of truth is deemed increasingly questionable, post-seminar projects, such as Young Photography: Multiple Expressions encourages students, artists and critics throughout the nation to take part in a discussion of critical issues that face young photographers. The seminar explores issues like representation, identity, feminism and spirituality, and provides a forum that helps young photographers come to grips with the power of the projected image to communicate multiple layers of meaning and encoded information. Accordingly, the participating artists employ diverse photographic means to express unapologetically subjective viewpoints.

The 2002 National Graduate Seminar Fellows and Young Photography: Multiple Expressions artists are: Carla Cioffi, Southern Illinois-Carbondale; Bradley Corman, University of Nevada, Las Vegas; Christopher D. DiCiocco, University of Colorado; Phoung M. Do, New York University; Lalla A. Essaydi, School of the Museum of Fine Arts; Myra Greene, University of New Mexico; James C. Holland, University at Buffalo and Visual Studies Workshop; Deborah Jack, University at Buffalo; Jessica Kaufman, Massachusetts College of Art; Glen Kawabata, University of New Mexico; Sonya Lawyer, University of Florida; Helen Chung Lee, University of Michigan; Andrew John Liccardo, Texas Tech University; Heike Liss, Mills College; Paul Melhado, Long Island University; Shelia Pree, Georgia State; Mark Slankard, Ohio University; Henry Tsang, University of California-Irvine; Ron Witherspoon, Georgia State University; and Danny Yahav-Brown Maryland Institute College of Art.
