Students from CSU’s Photo Image-Making III course take photography to a whole new level in this exhibition. The one steady and fast rule when you visit a gallery or museum is DO NOT TOUCH THE ARTWORK! DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS! DO NOT CLIMB OR SIT! You have to be cautious and keep a distance from the art. This exhibition throws those rules to the wind. Expanding Into Space expands how photographs can be interacted with, how they can transport us or distance us from somewhere or something, how we can move around and through photographs, and where photographs can exist, and how they can make or transform a space. Expanding Into Space uses photography in an interdisciplinary mode of making to challenge preconceptions of what a photograph and photography is and can be, its material qualities, and the power of the image. The included work goes beyond the simple photographic print, and moves into sculpture, installation, mixed media, and more. Students are grappling with the questions: What is a photograph and what is photography? How does photography, seen or unseen, affect us in our daily lives? How does one embody a photograph and project their ideas and thoughts onto an image? How does a photograph embody us and project it’s ideas and thoughts onto us? What power does photography hold and how can we harness that power? Included artists are Fey Brundige, Keegan Casey, Matt Cicero, Emily Congdon, Trinity Corney, Macie Jungmann, Jessica Pettingill, Hannah Redmon, and Gibson Sisson.
