PASSING GLANCE

The Pollinator Art Space is pleased to announce the group exhibition PASSING GLANCE. The Pollinator Art Space is pleased to announce a national juried group exhibition titled, Passing Glance, featuring mixed media artwork that contain photographic elements or sources. Our juror is Nicole Lampl, Curator at the Westmoreland Museum of Art in PA. This is the first exhibit produced by Co-director Sean McCormick who joined us last fall. Sean brings a wealth of experience including a photography degree from GSU and ten years working in New York City with renowned artist/photographer Andres Serrano. Despite this background, Sean finds

photography restrictive—arguing, with photography legend Emmet Gowan, that ‘photography is so tethered to reality that the imagination seems repressed.’ As an antidote to the isolation of common ‘photography-only’ shows, Sean has created this exhibition to celebrate the clever, dynamic and imaginative artworks created when artists work outside of photographic convention. Nicole and Sean chose the title, Passing Glance, to reference something unusual that catches your eye as you move along in life, something that creates an alluring desire glance back and engage. The 28 artists in the exhibition fold photographic images into a wide array of materials including: handmade paper, eggshells, cyanotypes, silkscreen, paint, ink, pencil, resin, collage, toy cars, home grown gourds, all sorts of found objects as many forms of photo images and more.
