Now is a very exciting time for photography. The 14 artists in Light + Metal are reacting to the proliferation of digital photographic technologies by experimenting with traditional, metal-based processes and materials, including silver-gelatin paper, cyanotype, and wet collodion, to create unique photographic objects—often without using a camera.
Works in Light + Metal employ 19th, 20th, and 21st-century processes to expand and challenge the notion of a photograph as a convincing representational image. In some works, such as those by Julie Weber and Michael Jackson use light itself as a subject, while others, such as Meghann Riepenhoff, Anne Arden McDonald, and David Ondrik, push the boundaries of physical photographic materials to make statements regarding technology, culture, and the environment. We are truly proud of Light + Metal's scope and scale.
