Justin James King's winning images join 50 others as part of the 15th Griffin
Museum Juried Exhibition on display in the Griffin's Main Gallery July 8
through August 30.
Approximately 400 photographers from around the world submitted more than 2000
images to the juror for the exhibition, Catherine Edelman, owner of the
Catherine Edelman Gallery in Chicago, Illinois.
Justin James King of Brooklyn, New York, received the $1,000 Arthur Griffin
Legacy Award for three pieces from his And Still We Gather with Infinite
Momentum series. The prints are part of a conceptual project on the landscape
and culture. "The void in each of King's landscapes could be the dark abyss of
the future," says Paula Tognarelli executive director of the Griffin Museum of
Photography. "Each viewer's interpretation of the scene before them is personal
and contextual."
Lauren Semivan of Royal Oak, Michigan, received the $500 Griffin Award for her
photographs Black and White Rabbits and The Swan, which is part of a series
called Weights and Measures.
Ryan Zoghlin of Chicago, Illinois was awarded an exhibition on the web for the
Griffin Museum's Virtual Gallery. Greg Sand of Clarksville, Tennessee, was
awarded an exhibition on the Critic's Pick section of the Griffin Museum
website.
In addition to the awards, two artists were selected to present a joint show in
the museum's Atelier Gallery. Dana Fritz of Lincoln, Nebraska was chosen to
exhibit her Terraria Gigantica: the World Under Glass. Fritz's images examine
the world's largest landscape complexes; the Lied Jungle and Desert Dome at the
Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska, Biosphere 2 near Tucson, Arizona and The
Eden Project near St. Austell, Cornwall, UK. Christopher Sims of Efland North
Carolina was selected for his Home Fronts: The Pretend Villages of Taletha and
Braggistan, a series of photographs portraying simulated Iraqi and Afghan
villages on U.S. Army training bases in North Carolina and Louisiana.
"This year for our 15th Juried Exhibition, Catherine Edelman has assembled a
superb photographic display," says Paula Tognarelli, executive director of the
Griffin Museum of Photography. "The exhibition has a very compelling rhythm
that demonstrates Catherine Edelman's personal and unique vision."
Opening reception is July 15, 7-8:30 p.m. The public is invited. Griffin
Museum members are invited to a gallery talk with select photographers from the
15th Juried Exhibition at 6:15 p.m. Please RSVP to 781-729-1158 or
