Seven Summits

Curated by Matthew Porter
July 10 – August 15, 2010

Seven Summits is a group photography exhibition featuring fourteen pieces by seven artists. Recalling the mountaineering challenge of climbing the highest peak on each of the seven continents, Seven Summits highlights the practice of artists whose adventuresome spirit leads them straight to the source of their subject matter, whether it be found inside the studio or across the country. Each artist is represented by two pieces—separated by wide geographical margins—that reframe the tradition of expedition photography within their independent creative visions.

Featuring works by Michele Abeles, Shannon Ebner, Roe Ethridge, Miranda Lichtenstein, Arthur Ou, Michael Vahrenwald, and Hannah Whitaker
