I am in a group show tomorrow Sunday 27th at Mark Miller Gallery so if your around come stop by and see!! Mark Miller Gallery Presents Connotation/Denotation a group photography show by NYC photojournalists 92 Orchard Street New York, NY 10002 (212) 253-9479, info@markmillergallery Opening Reception: Sunday, October 27, 4-7 PM All exhibits and receptions are free and open to the public. Hours: Wednesday - Sunday 12 - 6pm, and by appointment. Seventeen NYC-based photographers will display works at Mark Miller Gallery, from October 27th through November 27th 2013. All participants have worked as visual journalists (and/or as photo editors) covering news stories in NYC. The works on display represent a mélange of subject matter; some were selected from news/documentary projects, others from personal or artistic projects. Aside from intent to give exposure to the participants’ aesthetic abilities, this interactive exhibit intends to explore the meaning-making process, and discrepancies between messages received by viewers contrasted against the message intended by the photographer, as well as the interplay between connotation (suggested or inferred meaning) and denotation (literal meaning). Exhibit visitors will have opportunity to interact with the exhibit, by providing the understandings they’ve gleaned from the works on display, explaining how they interpret the elements, and the meaning they’ve attributed from the connotation suggested by the work. This process will be accommodated through a digital interface accessible through computer workstations in the gallery. These inferred meanings by viewers can then be contrasted to captions provided by the image-makers explaining what the image actually denotes -- with a description of the context and the included elements -- as well as the meaning intended.
