Seen/Unseen
Hite Art Institute
Belknap Gallery and Gallery X
September 28 - November 3, 2017
A collaboration between the Hite Art Insititute and the University of Louisville Photographic Archives, SEEN / UNSEEN: Perspectives on Perception was presented on the occasion of the 2017 Louisville Photo Biennial.
Many of the photographs featured in this exhibition had never before been publicly displayed, and included works by Cal Kowal, Charles Rumpf, Ryan Boatwright, and Eva Rubenstein.
SEEN / UNSEEN were conceived as two distinct exhibitions in conversation with one another on the differences between seeing and looking.
Seen contemplates the act of mindful observation, while Unseen focuses on
perception as the point at which the physical sense of sight intersects with psychological programming to make meaning.
