Statement

The exhibition Re- , curated by Michael Ensdorf and Kathy Pilat, features the work of four Chicago artists who employ traditional and digital photographic processes to investigate the idea of remaking, revising, and shifting the past into the present. Viewers of the exhibition are meant to question the authenticity of time, relationship, and place reflected in the works. Pamela Bannos manipulates the focus of vintage vernacular photography to create imagined relationships and reinterpret the past. Jennifer Greenburg examines a unique global subculture, the Rockabilly scene, by documenting people who have adopted the looks, values, and ephemera of mid-twentieth century America. Alice Hargrave extracts single frames from old 8mm films of vacations, depicting a romanticized view of a past remembrance, a location of beauty. Corrie Witt creates and photographs a dollhouse-scale replica of both her apartment and her imaginary future home to investigate the distinction between construct and reality.

The exhibition is sponsored by the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Illinois Committee and the College of Arts and Sciences at Roosevelt University.
