TWU Offers Little Chapel Wedding Package
Photography Exhibition
Scheduled At TWU
1/14/04
DENTON — The
Third Annual Joyce Elaine Grant Photography Exhibition will be Jan.
20 through Feb. 13 in the Texas Woman’s University Fine Arts
Galleries, located in the Fine Arts Building at the corner of Texas
and Oakland streets on TWU’s Denton campus. The work of Victoria
Hirt, last year’s solo exhibition winner, will be on view
during the event.
Gallery hours are 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on weekends by appointment.
A closing reception will be held Feb. 12 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Hirt’s exhibition,
titled “Heautoscopy,” uses reappropriated images taken
from historical references to create a modern group of digital color
photographs that represent a new time.
“My work is about
women and their place in the history of art and culture,”
Hirt said. “As one glances through the histories, it seems
that women are objectified in imagery and myth; somehow their strength
is always their ultimate undoing. In my work, I appropriate images
of myths and transform them so they may be re-examined and questioned.”
The Joyce Elaine Grant
Photography Exhibition provides a national venue for photographic
artistic expression. Photographers from throughout the United States
are invited to submit entries for the exhibition.
Anne Wilkes Tucker, founder
of the Photography Department at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston,
will serve as juror for this year’s exhibition. Tucker’s
contribution to photography and the arts community is recognized
both nationally and internationally. She was recognized by Time
magazine as “America’s Best Curator” in 2001.
The Joyce Elaine Grant
Photography Exhibition and Endowment was established by a group
of TWU graduate students and is named in memory of the mother of
TWU photography professor Susan kae Grant. The endowment funds scholarships
for future graduate students in the TWU Department of Visual Arts.
