Corey Daniels October 1 - January 10, 2010 Second Floor Gallery
Artist Lecture: October 16th, 7-8:30
Corey Daniels (b. 1951) creates large scale images based on friends, family and a lifelong collection of antique objets & oddities. Out of these he creates transformational still life compositions and portraits. Daniels’ subjects transcend their everydayness through his direct approach to frame and composition and his sensitive use of natural light. His works urge the viewer to dwell in the moment of observation, in the mystery and ambiguity of a small slice of life. Concurrent with his large format photography, Daniels has been a successful abstract painter for 40 years. This is his first gallery exhibition in the South.

Susan Harbage Page October 1 - October 29, 2009
Artist Lecture: October 16th, 7-8:30
Susan Harbage Page (b. l959) makes lush, large format photographs of subjects dressed in KKK robes sewn from contemporary fabrics, such as a figured toile, seersucker, or Wal-Mart bags. Her works explore how shared traumatic histories shape present-day social relations. Born in Ohio, she moved to North Carolina as a child. Being raised in the North and the South has informed her perspective and how her art addresses such concerns as the performance of race and gender and identity politics. Amongst Page’s numerous awards are fellowships from the North Carolina Arts Council, the Camargo Foundation, and the Fulbright Program. Her most recent exhibition has been at the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, SC. Ms. Harbage-Page will also be exhibiting her altered antique embroideries.

Documents: City Life
Documents: City Life is a group exhibition of four legendary photographers: Dawoud Bey, Paul D’Amato,Wayne Miller, Malick Sidibe. Each artist’s work deals with the African-American’s search for his or her true self in diverse circumstances: Some works are passionate and hard edged, like the pre-Civil Rights Movement era they document; some are flamboyant celebrations of life, like the works of Sidibe whose dancing, posing youths play in Mali’s night clubs and at her beaches; some, like Paul D’Amato’s, offer the chiaroscuro lighting and earthy spirituality of Caravaggio in beautifully lit stairways and corner rooms. Whether the artists are confronting the closing of Chicago’s public housing, the post World War II migration from the South to the northern cities, or the impact of downtown living on eager young people, each artist captures moments of beautiful complicity between himself and his subject.

The Notion of Family by LaToya Ruby Frazier July 31- September 29, 2009 Opening Reception: July 31, 2009, 5-8pm Artist Talk and Closing Reception for LaToya Ruby Frazier is September 24th, 7pm
Please click here for more images and bio.
LaToya Ruby Frazier's art explores her relationship with her family, similar to artists Doug Dubois and Leigh Ledare. The content, style and immediacy of her work leads the viewer to assume she is documenting from the outside. In reality, Frazier is in front of the lens exposing her family and herself. Frazier is both content and photographer. Her work blurs the line between self-portraiture and social documentary. With influences of documentary photography and direct cinema Frazier's photography and video produce work that intensely explores her family's intergenerational lineage by defining the lines between private and public space, emotion, reality and memory. In a recent review of the Bronx Museum's Exhibit "Living and Dreaming", The New York Times called the upcoming NY artist "ready for prime time," and "unmatched by anything else in the exhibition."
