Admission: Free
"Rural" implies remote place, places where there is more land than people. "Vernacular" typically describes the commonplace or ordinary as it pertains to language, but the word can also mean related to a particular place. This exhibition is about the places that are usually overlooked or dismissed because they are in fact so ordinary. We present the work of artists who examine the life of Americans who live in the country, away from urban dominated culture.
John Hill's large digital images are beautiful interpretations of Walker Evans' famous photographs of sharecroppers taken in Hale County, Alabama, in the late thirties and early forties.
Jim Dow's work on barbeque joints and basebal stadiums, corner shops and sites of North Dakota are a testament to his ability to illustrate the colloquial without nostalgia but with curiosity. Dow's work was deelply influenced by Walker Evans' photographs.
Brittany Powell creates entire environments using contact paper. Powell covers walls with the paper and then carefully cuts away, exposing parts of the walls beneath to create illusionistic images of life-size spaces. Powell is creating a samll town backyard that will evoke life in the 1940s at the same time that elements will clearly reference rural life today.
