ReGeneration: Eight Contemporary Photographers Defy the Generation Gap Deborah O'Grady, Mono Lake
Reception for the artists: Saturday, August 13th, 5:30 to 9 pm Kirk Crippens, Janet Delaney, Gérman Herrera, Rachel Phillips, Niniane Kelly, Luis Delgado, Philipp Striebe, and Deborah O'Grady. The artists in ReGeneration occupy either sides of the “generation gap,” being either veterans of photography that belong to the Baby Boomer generation or being part of the up-and-coming generation of twenty-something photographers. Each established photographer has been paired with a younger photographer and will be exhibited alongside one another in order to explore the potential for artistic dialogue between these two groups. While there is a common belief that miscommunication defines the “gap,” the exhibition demonstrates how the generation gap is far more complex in reality. From surrealist images to stunning landscapes and hard-hitting documentary works, these two age groups cut across both generations, and the wide spectrum of current themes in photography. These thought-provoking artists defy rather than defend any kind of perceived barriers between the age groups, proving the point of Gérman Herrera, one participant in the show: “I believe that the more individual the search is, the more universal it becomes.” Artist panel discussion, moderated by Ann Jastrab of Rayko Photo Center on Wednesday, August 31st at 6 pm.
