This week at the Southeast Museum of Photography

Sept. 12-Dec. 12
PURE PHOTOGRAPHY
Pictorial and Modern Photographs from the Syracuse University Art Collection The photographers included in this exhibition have extensive histories that span thematic periods and artistic styles. Taking their cues from Master Photographers like Edward Steichen, artists such as Berenice Abbott and Manuel Álvarez Bravo built on that foundation in order to explore the very art of photography. Utilizing their cameras, they created a new, modern vision for photography with a revised understanding of the camera and its capabilities. No longer tied to a pictorial past, these artists, and others, gave photography its own unique definition as an art form based solely on its ability to capture and create striking images. As a result, they too are considered Master Photographers. Opening Reception: Friday, Sept. 12, 5–7 p.m.
Closed Mondays; OPEN – Tues, Thurs, Fri: 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Wed: 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Weekends: 1-5 p.m.

The Growth of a Collection
Part 1: 1981-2001 In celebration of the roots and early history of the permanent collection of the Southeast Museum of Photography, The Growth of a Collection highlights just the first 20 years of collecting, beginning with acquisitions by what was then Daytona Beach Community College's Gallery of Fine Arts. The second chapter in this survey exhibition gathers selected images from collecting initiated after the formal establishment of the Southeast Museum of Photography in 1992, and features acquisitions made in those first nine years of the museum's collecting, until 2001. These two sections represent a brief sampling only of the wealth and richness of the museum's collection. Opening Reception: Monday, Oct. 20, 5–7 p.m.
