| Exhibit Description: |
| Pressing Pause |
Fred Clarke, a former feature photographer from the Nashville Banner, is an award-winning international documentary photojournalist contracted by the International Committee of the Red Cross to document civilian populations caught in the crossfire of armed conflict. He has spent years in war-torn areas such as Azerbaijan, Bosnia, Chechnya, Lebanon, Liberia, and South Africa.
Pressing Pause is an invitational response to Clarke’s work curated by Zeitgeist gallery and artists from Fugitive Projects.
After leaving the Banner several years ago, Clarke focused his direction concentrating solely on capturing humanitarian images in conflict and post-conflict situations. This exhibition is an effort to make the struggle of these individuals and families whose lives have been put on indefinite hold less abstract than it is portrayed by our mainstream media.
exhibiting artists include:
Patrick DeGuira, Terry Glispin, Bryan Hunter, Pradip Malde, Richard Mitchell, Melody Owen, Lesley Patterson-Marx, Kevin McCoy, Greg Pond, Bert Rodriguez, Jack Dingo Ryan, Hans Schmitt-Matzen, Donna Tauscher, Lain York
Fred Clarke and several artists from Fugitive Projects will give a gallery talk at Zeitgeist Thursday evening, February 15th from 6-8PM.
Gallery hours are 11AM to 5PM Tuesday through Saturday. For more information please call Janice Zeitlin or Lain York at 615-256-4805. |
