"Strange Country" will be my first official Curatorial Debut.
It is to investigate how location (or change of location) affect human Psyche. Like you feel a strange nostalgia in places you have never been, or feel of lost in places you are familiar with.
My case was all started from one photograph. I saw one photograph (actually a series of photos, but the one stood out), and I felt this strange yet strong connection to the piece. It was a picture of Cambodian children. The picture itself is a quite simple, almost traditional, portraiture. But something about it "touched" me so strongly. I can't quite understand why till this day....
Then I wanted to find out what and how it made me feel so close to the picture. Is it the artist who took the pic? Is it the location? Is it the technique. etc....
So in a way, this show could be an investigation to my own personal question. But what matters most is how the exhibition is (there are no, NO, questions about how good my artists are! I love saying "my artists"...) There shouldn't be much concern for how the show started out.
It will be a great show and I am so excited about working with (so far) three photographers, Melissa Buesing, Colleen Gutwein, and Greg Maka.
