Allison Leach’s “Misfit Explorers” on Cover of Chronogram Magazine
Posted on 5 July 2011 | Comments Off
Allison Leach’s “Bi-Polar Explorer” from her series “Misfit Explorers” is on the July 2011 cover of Chronogram Magazine. (flipbook version) Allison’s portfolio is on view this month in Theaters and the Theatrical at the Davis Orton Gallery.
According to editor Brian K. Mahoney, “…. we were smitten with Allison Leach’s staged photographs of imagined imperialist nincompoops of yesteryear from the get-go…. The more we lived with Leach’s goofy adventurers—revealing the basic absurdity of colonialism through their collective fiction—the more we couldn’t live without them. … What says America better than a man waving a flag? Never you mind it’s the Union Jack.”
Theaters and the Theatrical with photographs by Stefanie Klavens, Nandita Raman, Michael Hunold and Allison Leach continues through July 31.
Meet Allison and the other artists at a Closing Reception and belo3rd Gallery Stroll on Saturday, July 30 from 5-8pm.

Posted on 16 June 2011 | No responses
We are pleased to announce that Karen, co-director of Davis Orton Gallery, will be a juror for Critical Mass 2011. Jurying Critical Mass is a terrific opportunity to see and support great photography and photographers. In Critical Mass, hundreds of photographers submit their work which is evaluated by Pre-Screeners. From that group, 200 are selected to go on to “a jury of approximately 200 of the world’s best curators, editors, and other professionals” who have agreed to view and vote on the Finalists’ work. Using these votes, at least one photographer is chosen to receive a book award and once the monograph is published, everyone who enters and juries will receive a copy of the book(s)

Posted on 8 June 2011 | No responses
Shelby Lee Adams, who will be exhibiting at the Davis Orton Gallery September 9 to October 9, has selected a small group of photographs for our gallery flat files that are now available to the public. Included in the group are “The Newsome Children, 1997″ above and two prints that are each the only ones remaining from 16″ x 20″ editions. Adams has been working for over thirty years photographing the hollow dwellers of eastern Kentucky. Born in Hazard, Kentucky, Adams’ connection to the subjects in his photographs is evident in the way he has been welcomed into their homes and lives. A recent Geggenheim Fellowship recipient, Shelby’s fourth book, “Salt & Truth” published by Candela Books, is due out in September.
