I would like to introduce you to a new web site that I stumble upon, Women in Photography. Although established in 2008 it appears to be well established and worth visiting. Here is an excerpt from their last group show.
Women in Photography launched in June of 2008 as an outlet for women photographers to exhibit work outside of the traditional commercial art world. Showcasing emerging photographers in addition to mid-career and established artists, it is designed as a resource for photographers, editors, curators, gallery owners, and the general public to discover and enjoy the work of women artists. As an internet-based project, the site reaches a global audience. Exhibitions are co-curated by Amy Elkins and Cara Philips.
A GROUP SHOWCASE
“If there were a little more silence, if we all kept quiet… maybe we could understand something”
-Federico Fellini
The photographer often retreats inward from the external world – to digest, to dissect and to make it their own. The noise of the world must be taken in and internalized before they can turn their gaze out again. In that stillness all the small parts of a riddle begin to be solved. Without that the artist would most certainly be lost.
If There Were a Little More Silence, wipnyc’s first group showcase, explores the artists innate desire to break away and embark on one’s own investigation of environment, family, society and self. Featured artists include Michele Abeles, Rebecca Horne, Melissa Kaseman , Catherine Larré, Stacy Renee Morrison, Sonja Thomsen, Anna Venezia, Jessica Watson and Sarah Wilmer.
Jessica Watson was born in 1973 in Massachusetts. She received her BA in studio art from Wellesley College and her MFA in photography from Bard College.
