Photo links to MoCP's Guy Trillim exhibit page
The Museum of Contemporary Photography reopens today with South African photographer Guy Tillim's Avenue Patrice Lumamba, a project focusing on the architecture and infrastructure of colonial and postcolonial Africa. The show runs through April 3.
"Tillim seeks not only the action and drama typical of a journalistic approach, but also quieter scenes, allowing his work to straddle the media and fine art worlds," says curator Karen Irvine on the MoCP website. "Printed in a muted palette, Tillim’s photographs address the idea of faded idealism in an atmosphere that is both melancholy and dreamlike."
MoCP hosts a conversation with Trillim and Krista Thompson of Northwestern's Art History department at 6 pm, Thursday, Jan. 13.
