Abstract Photo Exhibition Continues at Sheldon
Transforming Vision: Photographic Abstraction, continues at the Sheldon Museum of Art through May 29. Instead of exploring the camera's capacity to capture reality, Transforming Vision emphasizes its ability to alter our view of reality. Featuring approximately forty works from the Sheldon Museum of Art's permanent collection by major artists such as Harry Callahan, Barbara Crane, Arthur Siegel, Henry Holmes Smith, and Edward Weston, the exhibition examines photography's status as perceptual archetype through its reputation as a reproductive or straightforward medium, questioning the validity of photographic objectivity itself.
Rather than showcasing recent developments in darkroom manipulation or digital technology, the majority of works featured in the exhibition are considered documentary images, many of them created in the mid-twentieth century at Chicago's legendary Institute of Design, a hotbed of photographic innovation. While each photographer uses the visible world as a starting point, their images possess no easy visual resolution; subjects are dissolved, fragmented, or reduced to achieve particular expressive purposes.
