A new exhibition of a legendary artist will open at the Greensboro Project Space in September. UNCG’s CVPA will present “Keith Carter: Fifty Years,” an exhibition celebrating the artist’s large-scale photography work.
Often called “a poet of the ordinary,” Carter through his work shows an evocative sensitivity to the everyday. Through what he refers to as a “visual diary,” he examines the history of photography and vernacular culture, and explores our own shared histories.
On September 5, there will be an artist talk at the Weatherspoon at 6 p.m. The day after, the exhibition will officially open at GPS with a reception and book signing. It will run through September 27. For more information on the Weatherspoon event, see here, and here for more information on the GPS exhibition.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Maggie and Gene Triplette Program Fund at UNCG, and is curated by Lori Vrba.
