a documentary photography project by The Herald and community
photographers, and; Or Someone Like Yourself, a student
photography class project from those instructed by Winthrop art
and design faculty Mark Hamilton. Also Windows With A View
opens Sept. 5 and continues through Oct. 14, 2005, with the small-but-witty
paintings of Barbara Schreiber, in Winthrop University Galleries
Rutledge display windows.
Deborah Luster
One Big Self: Prisoners of Louisiana, in Winthrop's Elizabeth Dunlap Patrick Gallery, was originally a collaborative book project by photographer Deborah Luster and poet C.D. Wright. Luster's haunting images of inmates at three Louisiana correctional institutions and Wright's text, in response to working with Luster at the prisons, was published as a book in 2003 by Twin Palms Publishers and was named one of the best photography books of the year by the New York Times. WUG would like to thank Jack Shainman Gallery in New York for their generous help with this project. WUG also acknowledges the generous support of the Elizabeth Dunlap Patrick Endowment in making this project possible.
Luster will present a pre-opening lecture about her work on Sept. 15, 2005, at 8pm in Rutledge 119 at Winthrop University.
In the Rutledge Gallery, Lives of Our Time
will feature documentary photography projects that focus on groups
of identity in the Rock Hill and York County area. Lives of
Our Time has been a yearlong documentary photography project
of The Herald, in partnership with Winthrop University
Galleries. Beginning in Nov. 2004 with a "Live of Our Time
Public Forum," funded in part by the South Carolina Humanities
Council, The Herald lifestyles section has published photo
essays by Herald photo journalists and other local photographers,
about people engaged in voluntary groups and activities that give
fulfillment to their lives.
Andy Burriss and other Herald photographers will present
a gallery talk on Sept. 22, at 2pm in the Rutledge Gallery.
A gallery of the project can be found online at (www.heraldonline.com/galleries/lives_of_our_time).
Windows With A View
is a new alternative exhibition series that WUG will kick off
this season with works by artist Barbara Schreiber. Schreiber,
who recently relocated to Charlotte from Atlanta, was named by
Atlanta's Creative Loafing Magazine's "2004 Best Artist
With Staying Power (who's Leaving). Often working in a pleasingly
diminutive scale, Schreiber's neat, clever paintings rendered
in intense colors often suggested smarter, surrealist New Yorker
cartoons with ambiguous punch lines." Schreiber's exhibition
titled Tools for Living & Indiscretions is scheduled
for Sept. 5 through Oct. 14, 2005.
Schreiber will present a lecture on Sept. 29, 2005, at 2pm in
the Rutledge Gallery.
In the Lewandowski Student Gallery, an exhibition
of student photography projects titled Or Someone Like Yourself
will be featured from Sept. 9 through Oct. 6, 2005. Organized
as class projects in those instructed by Winthrop art and design
faculty Mark Hamilton, the photography projects look at the various
ways in which Hamilton's students have addressed representations
of self through the camera lens.
