The Light Factory in Charlotte, NC, Offers New Exhibitions
The Light Factory in Charlotte, NC, is presenting two new exhibitions including: (ID), an exhibit of self-portraiture, in the Knight Gallery, on view through Oct. 12, 2006, and Mexico, featuring photography by Harvey Stein, in the Middleton McMillan Gallery, on view through Oct. 12, 2006.
(ID) is an exhibit designed to reveal the idea of self, or what happens when the artist turns the camera inward. In all works of the exhibition, the photographer is also the model.
What's in the name? Freud first defined "id" relates to the part of the self that exists to contain the primitive mind directed at basic needs, functions and pleasure. Today (ID) also takes on the meaning of identification, or (i.d.) an abbreviation used to explain the measurement of an inner diameter.
(ID) includes the gelatin silver works of Arno Minkkinen, Judy Dater, Bill Thomas, and Robert Mapplethorpe, the digital works of Nate Larson, the photographic capture of Dieter Appelt's sculptural performances, video performance of Constance Thalken and the hand sewn photographs of Pinky Bass with an accompanying live performance.
Mexico is an exhibit which features works by Harvey Stein an accomplished street photographer, well known for capturing the essence of humanity by constantly walking among the people of New York City, Italy and most recently, Mexico. This collection features his most recent black-and-white prints from his many travels to Mexico.
Artist Lectures will be offered on Sept. 15, 2006, with Harvey Stein and on Sept. 28, 2006, with Arno Minkkinen.
