In this age of digital perfection, there is a growing body of artists returning to historical methods to hand-craft photographic images. Alternative photographic processes result in unique images; no two prints can ever be exactly alike. In this exhibit, three distinctly different processes are on view: pinhole prints and cameras, cyanotype prints, and polaroid manipulations.
Texas Architecture: A Visual History showcases images selected from the D. Blake Alexander and Marian Davis slide collections held by the University of Texas Libraries Alexander Architectural Archive and the Visual Resources Collection (VRC), respectively. The collections are unique and valuable resources documenting architecture throughout Texas of both extant and razed buildings.
Lensless Photography: The Art of the Pinhole is comprised of images produced by students in Russel Krepart's Fall 2004 Vertical Studio. Throughout the semester students investigated the relationship of architecture and location by viewing, capturing, and framing building, site, and landscape through the use of pinhole photography and camera obscuras.
