An exhibit glorifying the adornment of the human body, the effect of the psyche and pain.
Curated by Luckystar Studio.
After working together for nearly a decade curating literally hundreds of exhibits we've developed a very unique working style. We have different taste and don't always like the same things. What we do agree on is dispensing immediately with the obvious; the cookie-cutter group show and dig deep for the sublime; for the unusual; building textures and juxtapositions. With Flesh. Metal. Ink. we wanted to exhibit Beauty and Pain through the work of some great talent.

2nd Annual Regional Juried Exhibition
Friday, September 12 to Saturday, October 18, 2008
Opening Reception: Friday, September 12 6-9pm
Gallery Night and Day Reception: Friday, Oct 17 and Sat, Oct 18
Wisconsin’s fastest growing arts organization, the Coalition of Photographic Arts (CoPA) is proud to announce the artists selected for the Second Annual Juried Exhibition. CoPA received 138 entries representing WI, IL, MN, and MI. George Slade, Artistic Director of the Minnesota Center for Photography, juried this year’s exhibition; selecting 60 photographs from 42 artists. George said, “These 42 artists have brought unique visions to bear on a wonderfully intriguing assortment of subject matter. Many of the photographs pose questions about representation, and many provide insights that are accessible to those willing to look closely. There are excellent single images in the show and provocative groupings that highlight photography’s inherent multiplicity and the complexity of visual story-telling. In successful cases, I was intrigued by how an application expanded my awareness of the world and enhanced my appreciation of the medium’s grasp. I look forward to experiencing the exhibition in the galleries. ”
Slade also served as Program Director for the Minnesota Center for Photography/McKnight Foundation Artists Fellowships for Photographers, and is an adjunct assistant curator in the Department of Photography at The Minneapolis Institute of the Arts. Slade’s expert eye in selecting work has been honed over the years. He has been a panelist and portfolio reviewer for the Ohio Arts Council, Minnesota State Arts Board, Minnesota State Fair, Fotofest’s Meeting Place, and Society for Photographic Education, Critical Mass and Photolucida. Slade is also a prolific writer, having contributed reviews and essays to the Encyclopedia of Twentieth Century Photography, Exposure, Photo-eye Booklist, Minnesota History, and other publications. Slade lives in St. Paul with his two daughters.
This event follows the successful Inaugural Juried Exhibit held in 2007. Last year’s exhibition drew an overwhelming crowd of art patrons, participants, and collectors; including curators from the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, and the Art Institute of Chicago. The Milwaukee Art Museum’s Photography Council collected two of the works in the exhibition. CoPA’s goal in organizing such an event is to strengthen its support and awareness of contemporary photography in Milwaukee as well as the Midwest region.
Juror Awards for CoPA’s Second Annual Juried Exhibition include Best in Show, 2nd and 3rd Place Honorable Mention, as well as a People’s Choice Award selected by viewers.
