PHOTOGRAPHY AND PLACE: FRAGMENTS OF THE WORLD

Oklahoma City—Beginning on July 3, 2020, JRB Art at The Elms will host the show “Photography and Place:  Fragments of the World,” organized by New York Based Curator, Julie Maguire, Director of the Brett Weston Archives.  

This show will feature the work of Brett Weston, Catherine Adams, Christa Blackwood and Allen Birnbach. The exhibition will be on display at the gallery during July and August and will also be available to view online at www.jrbartgallery.com. 

While there won't be an opening on First Friday, the gallery is now open Tue-Sat from 11am-5pm and by appointment - call us at (405) 528-6336, or send us an e-mail or Facebook message.  All of our inventory can be found on our website.  We encourage you to see our wonderful July exhibitions!

The four artists included in this exhibition have all photographed places.  Some with figures, some without.  They all bring their unique perspective to their work and frame it through their eyes.  Looking at a photograph is the merging of the eyes of the viewer and the photographer as they try to cobble together fragments of the world.

Julie, I am so pleased that you agreed to curate JRB Art at The Elms' upcoming Exhibition, "Photograph and Place: Fragments of the World."

For that show you have selected the work of four different photographers: Brett Weston, Catherine Adams, Christa Blackwood and Allen Birnbach. The aesthetic of these photographers are very different and yet you have found commonalities in them, which is what a curator does. Since curating is such a specialized field, why don't you tell us a little about your career.
