Reconciling Extremes with Dale Rio
Reconciling Extremes with Dale Rio
Thursday’s, September 29th - October 27th, 6 pm - 9 pm ET
Are you struggling to reconcile the opposing extremes of our current climate reality in your photographic work?... The beauty of the natural world and the devastation that can result from human behavior. Simultaneous cycles of creation and destruction. How do we even define such things? And how can we best express these complex and multi-faceted relationships within our work? Let’s work through it all together in this six-week supportive and immersive, critique-based conversation!
Requirements: Limited to six participants. All participants are expected to know how to use Zoom and share presentations (Powerpoint, Keynote, image folders, etc.) via screen share. There is an expectation that everyone participates during each meeting by sharing work and providing input for others. Please come to the first meeting with a presentation of up to twenty images to share.
Dale Rio is a photographic artist whose work explores issues such as mortality, human constructs, and man’s relationship with the natural world. Utilizing film and historic photographic processes, Dale employs “straight” photography to document the world around her and also creates conceptual work in response to that world. Her work has been shown extensively in the U.S., as well as in England, Germany, and New Zealand. Her images reside in private collections and have been reproduced in countless publications. She has authored one book and co-authored a second. Dale has been involved with numerous photo and art centers across the country, and in 2015, she co-founded The Halide Project, a Philadelphia-based non-profit whose mission is the support of film and historic process photography. In 2021, she launched Point A to Point B: analog explorations, a print publication that features travel- and place-based film and historic process photography, and in 2022 she founded Lux et Libera: women at the intersection of light and chemistry, an initiative that seeks to recognize the leading role women play in alternative process photography.
