A Reasonable Facsimile<\/h2>\n

January 10 – February 25, 2011 – Christensen Center Art Gallery<\/h3>\n

Reception: Friday, January 21, 5:30-7:30 p.m.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

In the midst of the millions of text messages sent each day, a group of twelve photographers took eight months to play a visual game of telephone using the U.S. Postal Service. The curator of the project, Michelle Westmark, began the photo chain by sending a 4″x 6″ postcard version of her image to be interpreted by the next photographer on the list. This artist had a two-week window to photographically respond to the image’s subject, content or formal elements and pass a postcard of the new image along, creating a visual and tactile conversation that progressed around the country. While so much of our globally digitalized world speeds along, A Reasonable Facsimile<\/em> pauses to find connections within a variety of locations and lenses.<\/p>\n
