(Image: "Jess 20, Boston, Jamaica Plain" by Rania Mater) (Bangor, ME) The exhibit runs June 24th through September 24th. UMMA’s Photo National 2011: A Survey of Contemporary Photography features 76 works of art by 34 fine art photographers from throughout the United States. Photographers were chosen through a highly competitive jury process. The exhibition offers a glimpse into the diversity of contemporary photographic processes and various approaches prevalent today. The exhibit features a considerable quantity of color images which underscore the wide-spread practice of digital photography and archival inkjet printing. Works in a range of styles including historical photographic processes, photo-collage and assemblage, photo-documentary and abstraction are highlighted. While the exhibition attests to the unique vision of these varied photographers, the selection also emphasizes noticeable commonalities regarding style and subject matter. Photo National 2011 was juried by Brian Paul Clamp, Director of ClampArt Gallery, NYC and George Kinghorn, Director & Curator, UMaine Museum of Art. In New Dawn Fades, Thomas Hager pays homage to, and expands upon, early photographic processes developed and practiced in the 1840s by Sir John Herschel and Anna Atkins. By re-examining these historical processes the photographer forges a distinct path, employing new techniques and technology to achieve his large-scale images. In several of the featured works that incorporate figurative elements, Hager looks to art history for inspiration—works by Leonardo da Vinci, Andreas Vesalius and others are layered atop Hager’s photographs of various models.
