On View
Transitions: The Dresden Project Photographs by Fredrik Marsh
January 19th through March 27th, 2010
|
During a three-month artist residency in Dresden, Germany in 2002 and
over 4 subsequent summers, Fredrik Marsh explored the city and its
outskirts photographing the detritus of human culture found in the decaying
interior spaces of vacant factories, abandoned apartments, and hotel
rooms.
The resulting series demonstrates the juxtapositions and ironies still
abundant in the post-Socialist world of Eastern Europe twenty years
after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, showing the old and the new as
well as the grandeur and the decay of these once-majestic buildings.

Art, Documentary, and Propaganda in Wartime China: The Photography of Sha Fei
January 19th through March 27th, 2010
|
 Legendary Chinese photographer Sha Fei (1912-1950) produced one of the
most fascinating photographic records of war. The Sino-Japanese War of
1937-1945 reshaped China and the lives of all its citizenry. Sha Fei's
lens captured these dramatic changes, in particular as they occurred in
North China behind Japanese lines.
His photographs depict the northern
Communist army, known as the Eighth Route Army during the war years, as
it resisted the Japanese. Moreover, they portray the socialist
revolution as it progressed in China's countryside. Combining
photography's potential for art, documentary, and propaganda, Sha Fei
created a large body of photographs in his brief life of thirty-eight
years. While most of the original prints have been lost, their
negatives have survived.
