Irvine Contemporary Presents Phil Nesmith, My Baghdad : New Ambrotype Photographs
By Ryan • Jan 24th, 2008 • Category: News for Creatives (archives), Photography Reported by ArtDaily.com:
“WASHINGTON, DC.- Irvine Contemporary announced the opening of Phil Nesmith’s first solo exhibition, My Baghdad, a series of photographs shot in Baghdad and produced on glass plates using a dry plate ambrotype process. A set of editioned C-print enlargements from the glass plates will accompany the unique images in the exhibition. The exhibition is on view from January 12 – February 17.
Contemporary photographers have frequently recovered earlier photographic processes to reinterpret image making and familiar genres of photography. Chuck Close’s daguerreotype portraits, Sally Mann’s wet plate collodion images, and Adam Fuss’s combined daguerreotype and photogram images have become part of the visual language of photography today. “
