Selections from the Southeast Museum of Photography Collection November 18, 2011 – February 4, 2012
Andrey Chezhin Kharmsiada		Rogelio López Marín (Gory) Es Solo Agua en la Lagrima de un Extrano (It's Only Water In a Stranger's Tear)

"Chezhin’s absurd, significant, and meaningless staged photographs of nameless types/characters give off a powerful, unpleasant semi-physiological sense memory of a past age of male and female functionaries and workers stamped with the distinctive marks of the limited, if not curtailed consciousness of social invalidism. Here Chezhin’s photography emphatically avoids any attempt to convey the psychological state or mood of the subject; this is photography that stands outside psychoanalysis or psychologism; outside any expression of the ‘psychical’. These are still-lifes where things (objects) are credited with neither spirit nor personal time, nor personal experience or living space or ‘physiognomy’." —Mariya Sheynina (Terenya) Click for full text (pdf).		"Gory’s sensibility is still that of a painter. His hand-toned images...serve only to push the images further toward an abstracted somewhat surreal world whose elements veer inevitably toward metaphor. A consummate observer, Gory has mastered the hard-won ability to recognize and transmit the visual anomalies and puns that punctuate the urban environment. His is an artistry of degrees—of tiny increments that challenge the understandable and reaffirm the unknowable. His poetic orchestration of elements evokes an elegiac mood that is tinged with the thrill of discovery, a sustaining awe of the implied, and an obvious glee in the process." —Tim Wride Click for full text (pdf).
