Co-curated by Rod Faulds and guest curator Jeanie Giebel (FAU ’13),
Altarations is an exhibition featuring over 20 contemporary artists
who blend photographic images and processes to produce works that
celebrate, contradict and undermine photographic traditions through
altered images and references. The purposefully misspelled title of the
exhibition is derived from Mark C. Taylor’s Altarity (1987) – an anthology
of Taylor’s writing interpreting several modern philosopher’s views of
difference and otherness. Select artists include Ellen Carey,
Noriko Furunishi, Jibade-Khalil Huffman, Maria Martinez-Cañas,
Hugh Scott-Douglas and James Welling among others.
