Emory Visual Arts Gallery to Feature Mark Steinmetz’s “Garden”

Emory’s Visual Arts Gallery will feature “Garden,” an exhibition by Emory visiting professor and photographer Mark Steinmetz, from March 23 through April 22, 2006. Steinmetz’s work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He is a Guggenheim Fellow and a frequent guest lecturer, most recently at Emory University, Harvard University, Sarah Lawrence College and Yale University.

Steinmetz’s photographs have been published in Aperture, Blind Spot and DoubleTake magazines. His first book, “Tuscan Trees,” will be followed by his forthcoming book on Knoxville from Nazraeli Press. Steinmetz, whose residence is in Athens, GA, has had both photographs and essays published in Elysian Fields Quarterly, Five Points, Frank, The Oxford American, TriQuarterly, The Wilson Quarterly and Witness literary reviews.

“The work for the show is all very new,” says Steinmetz, who is presenting color photography for the first time in his career. All the photographs in the exhibition were taken in 2005, in pre-Katrina New Orleans; Farmington, CT; and Atlanta. The opening reception with the artist is Thursday, March 30, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Visual Arts Gallery is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m. (closed on holidays) and is located at 700 Peavine Creek Dr. across from the baseball fields on the Emory University campus. Admission is free.
