2022 is the second consecutive year I have had two photographs on display in the Atlanta Photography Group’s Airport Exhibition. This year I also had two photographs in the Atlanta Photography Group’s Selects Exhibition, in APG’s gallery space, concurrent with the Airport show, so I decided to fly to Atlanta last month to see both exhibitions and finally visit Atlanta for the first time.
I had never seen photographs of the Airport exhibition space before, but I had a rough idea of where the space in the airport based on its description. I knew it was outside of security in a food court area. After landing I got my luggage and went looking for the exhibition, luckily it was near by the baggage carousels. There are 30 photographs in the 2022 Airport Show by 22 different photographers. The exhibition was curated by Lisa Volpe who is the Associate Curator of Photography at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The prints are uniform in size because of the framing constraints, and they are displayed on four columns within the Central Atrium. My photographs were on a column in front of the Atlanta Chop House; I am sure everyone who knows me would say this is an appropriate location for me and my work. The column had four panels with two photographs on each panel. Below are details of my photographs, the Central Atrium area, and finally a slide show highlighting all the photographs in the exhibition. As I stated in early blog posts about this exhibition, I am honored that Lisa Volpe selected my two photographs to be part of this exhibition. I am thankful that the Atlanta Photography Group arranges this exhibition annually and that they are able to secure top curators, like Lisa, for the selection process. After visiting the space and seeing the exhibition I am even more proud that my photographs are being displayed with so many other strong images, in such a unique space, with so much daily traffic. This exhibition runs through January 25th, 2023.
