Alteration: Three Approaches to Photographic Intervention
TBA
Schneider Hall Galleries | Covi Gallery
Alteration: Three Approaches to Photographic Intervention brings together the work of Priscilla Briggs, Victoria Crayhon, and Sue Wrbican - three artists who use photography as a tool for fabrication and inquiry in an age when the act of making a photograph is no longer bound to simply documenting what is before us. These artists employ photography as a stage for construction, manipulation, and critique. Their works draw attention to the systems, desires, and contradictions that shape both personal and collective experience, transforming the photographic image into a layered site of meaning.
Upcoming Exhibitions
Lost in the (re)Process: Cassidy Meurer and Shachaf Polakow
October 3 - November 8, 2025
Cressman Center for Visual Arts
Opening Reception: Friday October 3, 2025 | 5-7 PM
This exhibition sheds light onto Louisville's evolution in the 20th century through urban renewal practices via three modes; the first is an artistic intervention by Cassidy Meurer into the Urban Renewal Commission Photograph Collection, housed at UofL Archives & Special Collections. Appraisal survey photographs taken by the city’s Urban Renewal Commission are collaged together to reimagine the streets of downtown Louisville as they once existed, interrogating notions of progress. The second mode utilizes photographs of urban renewal demolitions made by photojournalists working for the Courier-Journal and Louisville Times from the Barry Bingham, Jr. Courier-Journal photograph collection, demonstrating the violence of these displacement practices and painting a backdrop for the city’s civil rights movement. The final mode brings us to the “now” of the narrative; video installations and 3D mapping by Shachaf Polakow bring the Downtown Louisville streets of today into the gallery space, squishing the temporal gaps between the archival material on display and our current reality.
