Columbia College in Columbia, SC, Presents Works by Jerry Uelsmann

The Columbia College Art Department in Columbia, SC, will present a one-man show of the photography of Jerry N. Uelsmann in the Goodall Gallery, Spears Music/Art Center, from Nov. 5 through Dec. 14, 2001. This will be the second exhibit at Columbia College for the internationally known artist, who had an exhibit there in 1984.

The visually plausible but philosophically impossible situations presented in Uelsmann's photographs contradict what we have come to expect in photography. Vague, despite their sharpness and fine detail, and ambiguous, his photographic montages are like dreams that slip past our perceptual defenses, triggering a response but never quite revealing their meaning.

Uelsmann has had over 100 solo exhibitions over the past 40 years, and his work is included in major museums throughout the world. Ten books devoted to his art have been published over the past 25 years.

Born in Detroit in 1934, Uelsmann received his BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1957 and his MS and MFA from Indiana University in 1960. He taught at the University of Florida until 1997.
