The frontiers of photography
Seeing what artists collect is sometimes as interesting as seeing the artists' own work. A new exhibit at Dunedin Fine Art Center has it both ways. Mysterium Photographicum, opening Friday, is the way-too-cerebral title of a show that brings together young photographers working on new frontiers of technology with old masters, many of whom invented the art form's frontier.
Curator Kerry Stuart Coppin selected work by about two dozen contemporary photographers, then asked them to submit a work by another photographer from their personal collections. The result is 55 pieces that range from a straightforward tintype of a young woman taken by an unknown photographer in the 1800s to digitally produced work by contemporary practitioners such as Joyce Neimanas, whose Iris print, Pig Ear Shield, is shown above.
The exhibit runs through May 17. Dunedin Fine Art Center is at 1143 Michigan Blvd. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free. For more information, call (727) 298-3322.
