Fisher and Jess Perlitz DESCRIPTION:It is a great pleasure to present the dual exhibitions Joel W . Fisher: Abridged Proof and Jess Perlitz Forever washing itself in the R onna and Eric Hoffman Gallery of Contemporary Art at Lewis &\; Clark C ollege. Fisher is an assistant professor of art and the studio head of ph otography at Lewis &\; Clark\, a position he has held since 2012.  \;Perlitz has been an assistant professor of art and studio head of sculp ture for the college since 2013. \; Fisher has a long-standing inter est in the dissemination of content through the photobook format\, and in the exhibition \;Abridged Proof we are invited to preview a much lar ger\, longer project of his entitled Agapage\, which will consist of both book and web-based pieces. In this complex and compelling work\, Fisher fuses text with images that examine the contemporary photographer's relat ionship with lens-based media and the meaning of pictures. At the same t ime as Fisher's exhibition is shown at the Hoffman Gallery\, the Museum o f Modern Art presents American Surfaces and the Photobook (November 22\, 2017–March 18\, 2018). The MoMA exhibition acknowledges that the photob ook is a current and dynamic vehicle through which to view\, curate\, and collect photography. Fisher's serious and enthusiastic investigation of the photobook\, which Abridged Proof is part of\, is evidence of his curr ency in conversations about contemporary photography. Concurrent with he r exhibition at the Hoffman Gallery\, an installation by Perlitz entitled Chorus is being shown at the Eastern State Penitentiary\, a historical s ite in Philadelphia. This sound installation is based on a question that Perlitz asked\, in person\, of incarcerated men and women from throughout the United States: "If you could sing one song and have that song heard\ , what would it be?" Her compilation of the songs they sang is played ins ide a cell at Eastern State\, where visitors experience the recordings as a collage of aural sensations. Chorus\, I think\, is characteristic of P erlitz's investigations. She is keenly able to embody visually (or in the case of Chorus\, experientially) what it feels like to be in another per son's place. This ability to create visual metaphors that summon profoun d empathy is evident in Perlitz's exhibition Forever washing itself. The title comes from the sculpture Forever Washing\, a gargantuan foot that i s in the process of being constantly bathed. The image beautifully descri bes the way in which artists—and all human beings—must acknowledge on e's place in the world while simultaneously being nimble in response to i ts ever-changing and ever-challenging nature. It is as if we are invariab ly shedding our own skin\, forever altering\, adjusting\, and cleansing t he image that we present to the world\, and to our own selves. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
It is a great pleasure to present the dua
l exhibitions Joel W. Fisher: Abridged Proof and Jess Perlitz
Fisher has a long-standing interest in the dissemination of co ntent through the photobook format\, and in the exhibition \;Abri dged Proof we are invited to preview a much larger\, longer project of his entitled Agapage\, which will consist of both book and web-based p ieces. In this complex and compelling work\, Fisher fuses text with image s that examine the contemporary photographer's relationship with lens-bas ed media and the meaning of pictures.
At the same time as Fisher's exhibition is shown at the Hoffman Gallery\, the Museum of Mo dern Art presents American Surfaces and the Photobook (November 22\, 2017 –March 18\, 2018). The MoMA exhibition acknowledges that the photobook is a current and dynamic vehicle through which to view\, curate\, and col lect photography. Fisher's serious and enthusiastic investigation of the photobook\, which Abridged Proof is part of\, is evidence of his currency in conversations about contemporary photography.
Concurre nt with her exhibition at the Hoffman Gallery\, an installation by Perlit z entitled Chorus is being shown at the Eastern State Penitentiary\, a hi storical site in Philadelphia. This sound installation is based on a ques tion that Perlitz asked\, in person\, of incarcerated men and women from throughout the United States: "If you could sing one song and have that s ong heard\, what would it be?" Her compilation of the songs they sang is played inside a cell at Eastern State\, where visitors experience the rec ordings as a collage of aural sensations. Chorus\, I think\, is character istic of Perlitz's investigations. She is keenly able to embody visually (or in the case of Chorus\, experientially) what it feels like to be in a nother person's place.
This ability to create visual me taphors that summon profound empathy is evident in Perlitz's exhibition F orever washing itself. The title comes from the sculpture Forever Washing \, a gargantuan foot that is in the process of being constantly bathed. T he image beautifully describes the way in which artists—and all human b eings—must acknowledge one's place in the world while simultaneously be ing nimble in response to its ever-changing and ever-challenging nature. It is as if we are invariably shedding our own skin\, forever altering\, adjusting\, and cleansing the image that we present to the world\, and to our own selves.
