Faculty in Action: Jeanne Liotta
Jeanne Liotta (Associate Professor, Cinema Studies & Moving Image Arts) has a Solo exhibition at the Microscope Gallery, NYC, The World is a Picture of The World, featuring a new body of work incorporating drawing, collage, photography, and projection that are inspired by and often include among their materials 20th Century NASA 35mm slides of the universe that were frequently offered in the planetarium and other similar gift shops.
"Through the works on view — an 80-image handmade 35mm slide composition, several single-slide projections on graphite drawings, and a series of colored photographic gels on photogram works — Liotta recognizes that humanity’s visual understanding of the universe is based on its photographic reproductions of what exists beyond what the eye can see. The artist considers the ways these pictures have been used to inspire us, both positively and negatively, and draws connections among nature, astronomy, and the photographic process, all dependent on light and time."
