Truth Told Slant: Contemporary Photography

CRITIC’S PICK: The exhibition features the work of five distinct photographers: Rose Marie Cromwell explores the effects of globalization on human interaction and social politics, and the tenuous space between the political and the spiritual; Jill Frank, an Atlanta native, whose work deals primarily with the negotiation and indeterminacy of dominant social and cultural narratives, according to the New York Times; Tommy Kha, a Chinese-American from Memphis, who blends his Asian heritage with the mythology of the South; Zora J Murff, a teacher of photography at the University of Arkansas’ School of Art, who deals with race and criminality; and Kristine Potter, a Nashville-based artist whose work explores masculine archetypes and cultural tendencies toward mythologizing the past. It’s all about telling the truth via the camera lens, hence the title. — Kevin C. Madigan
