The Exhibition takes place in HCP’s Education Gallery and is juried by a leading curator, editor, or artist who is in dialogue with the medium of contemporary art and/ or photography.
This year’s juror is artist Gary Burnley. Burnley (b. Saint Louis, Missouri) creates physical collages that reconfigure historical models of beauty, identity, and social status. Constructed from divergent visual fragments whose previous structure, meaning and historical importance, though no longer fully in tack, still live among a catalog of memories and consequences in the mind of the viewer. His amalgamations shift the reading of familiar narratives and generally accepted interpretations, nudging an emphasis toward the discovery of what could not otherwise have been anticipated. An oculus that reveals affiliations between seemingly unrelated images, the collages amend expectations by transposing representations and altering vernaculars, merging one meaning and another, one moment and another together. Burnley received a BFA from Washington University in St. Louis and an MFA from Yale University.
