Jennifer Folsom to Exhibit
Bare Witness
Photographs in Solo Exhibition
Fort Collins, CO – April 19, 2018
– Savannah College of Art and Design MFA candidate Jennifer Folsom will present her thesis body of photographic work,
Bare Witness,
in a solo exhibition at Art Lab in Fort Collins, CO. The work will be on display from May 4 through May 6, 2018, and a public reception for the artist will be held on May 4 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.
Folsom’s dynamic work exposes the male nude and is an exploration of
gender, power dynamics, and breaking from traditional roles. Folsom’s photographs reveal interactions in which the stereotypical tropes of looking and being seen are rejected and new definitions and boundaries are proposed.
Folsom states,
“This series comes at a pivotal time in our culture. As women seek to define the evolution of their roles in relationships, my work creates a dialog about how we see men, specifically nude men. Creating a conversation about the beauty and complexity of the
male form seen through a woman’s eyes is an underrepresented
part of the current discourse that surrounds male/female interactions and perceptions.”
Art Lab started in 2009 as a small group of creatives wishing to turn
vacant storefronts into vibrant art spaces. The Art Lab is located at 239
Linden Street in Fort Collins, Colorado. The gallery is open
Friday from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and 3:00 to 7:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday. The gallery telephone number is
970-829-1953.
