  Cindy O'Dell: stories

  March 4 - April 7, 2024
  Not only are stories a central aspect of our shared humanity, they can dispel stereotypes, expose inequities, and illuminate unjust power systems. This exhibition, stories, chronicles several decades of Cindy O’Dell’s documentary photography. The exhibit is curated in conjunction with O’Dell’s in progress textbook, Documentary Photography: A Creative Guidebook. With each image, she attempts to undo the document even as she makes a new one, thereby continually testing the limits of the form and challenging its rules. Using methods such as re-photography, memoir, videos, photo-fabric transfer, non-narrative video, photobooks, word and image combinations, and archival research, she builds layers of content and context. As a professor of art, she hopes to inspire students to tell their own stories, especially those at risk of being lost, ignored, or silenced. All stories matter.

  Waning Elements

  January 29 - May 12, 2024
  Contemporary society moves at a blistering pace. New technologies replace centuries-old traditions. Environmental degradation intensifies as society treats finite resources as commodities to be traded and exhausted. Jessica Calderwood, Brent Cole, Jennifer Halvorson, and Jacinda Russell bring these two concepts together in the mediums of sculpture, metal, enamel, glass, and photography. In Waning Elements, they explore and expose the conflicts inherent in their processes as they address issues of labor, social disconnection, loss, and time.
