Body of Evidence

Chuck Scalin — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 21:10:33 +0000

Body of Evidence is an exhibition of assemblage and photography by retired VCU art professor, Chuck Scalin. This show marks Scalin’s 25th solo exhibition in Richmond. His new body of work is based on an interest in popular culture and police procedurals as seen in film and television and Scalin invites the viewing audience to enter into the narrative he has created:

“You are invited to examine a number of recently discovered, long-forgotten boxes containing evidence for unsolved mysteries. Perhaps you will be able to uncover the meaning hidden in these enigmatic clues and unlock their dark puzzles.”

A group of dramatic black and white photographs of light within darkness will accompany the 14 assemblages along with a video by Megan McKissack.

The show opens at Ghostprint Gallery on Thursday, March 1st with a private reception from 6–8 pm. The exhibition continues on First Friday, March 2 from 6-9 p.m. and remains on view through March 31st.

Photographer Deborah Turbeville was featured on page 29 of the November 14, 2011 issue of The New Yorker. The piece discusses her exhibit at the Staley-Wise Gallery in SoHo, showing images from her newest book “Deborah Turbeville: The Fashion Pictures.”

Check out her mention in The New Yorker here.

Deborah Turbeville is an internationally acclaimed artist famous for her fashion and architectural photography. She is an admired friend of Geraldine’s and an artist we’ve been privileged to show at the gallery. In December 2009, “Unseen Versailles” opened at Ghostpirnt, featuring work from her book of the same name published in 1981. It captures the brilliant idea, which Turbeville credits to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis [the book’s editor] of photographing the palace’s storerooms and attics. Unseen Versailles went on to win the American Book Award for photography.

Rebirth

Yussef Agbo-Ola — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 18:18:55 +0000

Agbo-Ola is a young photographer with a powerful vision. His dramatic images express the emotive power of the human body while drawing on his ethnic heritage and strong sense of design.Explaining his approach to photography, the artist says, “My work comes from a place in my mind I call ‘home.’ Here a union of images and ideas is first revealed that is truly the genesis of my art. My mind starts racing with a passion to translate this union of images and ideas into a formal artistic expression. Everything moving around me transforms into a mixture of light. And the light inspires me to explore, discover and create.”

A junior at VCU, Agbo-Ola is a native of Suffolk, VA. He is a multi-media artist creating video, performance art and fashion design.
