Jerry N. Uelsmann, internationally renowned photographer, will kick off the 30th Anniversary Celebration of the Daytona State College Gallery of Fine Arts and its Alumni Reunion with a public lecture on Thursday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m. at the Southeast Museum of Photography.
Uelsmann's images are also included in the exhibition: “(re)collection: the growth of a museum collection (1981-1998),” and is currently on display in the museum. |
Uelsmann is credited with almost single-handedly changing the direction of contemporary photography today. He was the first major photographer to lecture at the gallery and he donated the first print to its permanent collection. His work has been exhibited in more than 100 individual shows in the United States and abroad over the past thirty years and is represented in the permanent collections of many museums worldwide. In a 1981 report by American Photographer, Uelsmann's work was named one of the ten most collected in the country.
Uelsmann is a master printer producing composite photographs with multiple negatives and extensive darkroom manipulation. He uses three to ten enlargers at a time to produce his final images. When asked about whether or not he takes advantage of the digital options that are available today, he reassures, “I am sympathetic to the current digital revolution and excited by the visual options created by the computer. However, I feel my creative process remains intrinsically linked to the alchemy of the darkroom.”
