This event has ended.

School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents “Night Shift,” an exhibition of work by current students in the MFA Photography, Video and Related Media Department featuring contemporary approaches to night photography. The exhibition is curated by Richard Brooks, assistant director of student galleries.

In his photographic series After Hours, Travis Brown examines night and the transformational quality of light. Shot in East Tennessee, the artist’s images capture a palpable feeling of the unique atmospheric conditions of the region.

Yuchung Chao explores the night with a cinematic and painterly eye. Through the modulation of light, color and depth of field, the artist’s digital images reveal beauty in the everyday environment.

Sara Macel’s photographs from her urban landscape series Nighttime were shot on color film using only available light and long exposures, In describing her work she explains, “I was interested in capturing the way ordinary places I passed by during the day were infused with a sense of mystery and menace at night.”

Alexander Severin’s BLDG/DNA series was created by arranging photographs of windows at night in DNA sequence-like strips. The large-scale photographs rely on the viewer’s familiarity with nighttime images of urban environments and present completely synthetic and spatially contradictory compositions which nonetheless function as representational images.
