about

Rolling farmlands, looming factories, Midwestern mindset - these catchphrases apply to Ohio as a culturual and geographic site distinct from other regions of the United States. The photographers included in this exhibition are Jodi Boatman, Bruce Checefsky, Joy Christiansen Erb, Mary Fahy, Marcella Hackbardt, Benjamin Montague, Ardine Nelson, Pipo Nguyen-duy, and Jordan Tate. "Delicious Fields" derives from "Champs Delicieux", a portfolio of photograms created by Man Ray and published by Tristan Tzara in Paris in 1922. As an avant-garde publication heralding the beginning of photographic surrealism in Paris, "Champs Delicieux" represented revolution in thier time and are reprised in experimental contemporary photography. Man Ray's images, created by placing everyday objects on a sheet of light-exposed photographic paper, offered a scrambling of reality. Just so, the nine Ohio photographers exhibited here overlay personal narrative on the Ohio landscape, or, conversly, subject land and cityscapes here and abroad to overt manipulation and examination. In either case, what resulted was a selction of photographic work imbued with the spirit of the enigmatic, as descended from its French forbearers. This exhibition was curated by Margo A. Crutchfield with Lisa Kurzner and was generously underwritten by ForestCity, Laura and Fred Bidwell, Joanne Cohen and Morris Wheeler, Medical Mutual of Ohio, and Dominion.
