Magdalena Sole at The Southeast Museum of Photography in Daytona

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Magdalena Solé’s Mississippi Delta is a photographic exploration of the Delta communities in the Deep South, evoking visions of sharecroppers, plantations and the sound of the Blues. The area has a small wealthy gentry and a large impoverished underclass. What is little known outside the Delta is the warmth, resilience, community and family cohesiveness of its people. In 2012, Solé’s in-depth study of the region was published as "New Delta Rising" (The Dreyfus Health Foundation and University Press of Mississippi). (Click HERE for more info)

Video Art, Monitors and Boxes...

Came across this today on the blog Who Wore It Better (itself a fantastic archive of works by various artists that are aesthetically and/or conceptually similar, and sometimes reference or appropriate one another).  Had me thinking about our conversation in Intro to Video Art about the purposeful use of specific types of monitors to display moving image works.  Anyhow, here is the image:
