Salina, Kansas - The Salina Art Center announces Suburban/Domestic: The Nature of Love and Family, featuring works by five contemporary photographers on view in the galleries May 11 through August 19.
Many of today’s photographers are creating art work that addresses cultural and personal identity within the context of suburban and domestic life. The artists in Suburban/Domestic incorporate themes regarding the nature of love and family, isolation, loss of innocence, teen culture, and the transition into adulthood. While exploring these issues they blend the imagined and real with the fictional and auto-biographical to create their compelling narratives.
The five artists featured in Suburban/Domestic include: Julie Blackmon (Missouri), Julia Fullerton-Batten (London, England), Melissa Ann Pinney (Chicago, Illinois), Nicholas Prior (New York City) and Dona Schwartz (Minneapolis, Minnesota).
Suburban/Domestic: The Nature of Love and Family was organized by the Salina Art Center. Special thanks to the Artists, Catherine Edelman Gallery, Chicago, and Yossi Milo Gallery, New York City, for making this exhibition possible.
