Exhibition location & hours: A Mill Artist Lofts, 315 SE Main Street
Open by appointment, 617.276.6341
Reception: Thursday, September 15, 2016, 5-9 p.m.
Please join us on Thursday, September 15, 2016 for a reception at A Mill Artist Lofts celebrating Context, an exhibition of new work by Twin Cities photographer Tucker Hollingsworth. The artist will be present.
After recently completing residencies at SFAI (Santa Fe, NM), OPUS HOUSE (Truchas, NM), VCCA (Amherst, VA), and in between exhibits in Madrid, Prague and Tuscany, Tucker Hollingsworth returns to Minneapolis with Context, an exhibition of new works in A Mill Artist Loft’s gallery.
The show will exhibit photographs Tucker describes as “photographing technology and contemporary photographic choice” using the basic subjects of spheres, lines, atmosphere, and play. With the camera as manufacturer, time as a collaborator, and, as has come to be expected with Tucker, an array of untraditional strategies to make an image, Hollingsworth’s photographs attempt to reconsider and redefine what an image is, can be, and does, if not just how to reconsider image-making. Infusing the body of the photographer into the exposure of the photograph, revealing the digital biases of camera technology, and injecting simultaneity into static images, are a few of the tricks at play.
On view at the gallery will be more than a dozen photographs, some measuring six feet in height, culled from Hollingsworth’s work from the past 24 months. Non-representational and suggesting densely woven textiles, the vividly hued images investigate the terrain of what is called camera noise, or the interiority of the camera. Also on view will be a selection of landscaped-based photographs. Semi-representational and often characterized by a jewel-toned palette, the landscape photographs are taken at night in both urban and rural environments. Hollingsworth uses only ambient light whether it is the full moon, the head and tail lights of passing vehicles or street lamps for his extended exposures, some lasting up to 30 minutes.

Born in 1984 in Boston, MA, Hollingsworth grew up in Florida and has lived in Minnesota since 2000. He currently resides in Minneapolis, MN. In 2012 he was a fellow at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts in Amherst, VA, the Ragdale Foundation in Lake Forest, IL, and he completed an artist residency at the Lanesboro Art Center, Lanesboro, MN. In 2010 and 2011 he completed residencies at Tofte Lake Center, Tofte, MN under the auspices of the Jerome Foundation Emerging Artist program. In 2011 he was awarded a Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Grant. His work has been shown at Nina Bliese Gallery, Minneapolis, Circa Gallery, Minneapolis and at Locanda Toscanini, in Tuscany, Italy.
