Renowned photographer Jane Robbins Kerr will present the first art exhibition of the new year at Delta State University, opening a show of her work with a reception from 2 to 4 p.m., Jan. 23, in the Main Gallery of the Delta State University Archives & Museum. The show is free and open to the public and will be available for viewing through March 31.
Kerr’s work in the Delta State show is from her portfolio “Seeing Red” which was previously exhibited in Atlanta as part of Atlanta Celebrates Photography in Oct. of 2010. The exhibit will also be seen later in the year at other venues, and in 2012 at the Cottonlandia Museum in Greenwood.
Kerr is a Mississippi native and long-time member of the Atlanta Photography scene. Kerr last year had work in John Bennette’s Southern Memories show as part of the Slow Exposures show in Pike County, GA. The year before, she had a show of her work at the Callanwolde Fine Art Center in Atlanta.
Red…the color of life, energy, passion, danger, courage. I have chosen red because even a tiny bit of the color in a photograph brings new life to the image. Red travels the world crossing cultures, beliefs, old taboos. Today I feel the infusion of life in these simple photographs. I am seeing Red! – Jane Robbins Kerr.
Museum hours are Monday – Tuesday, 8 a.m. – noon and 1- 5 p.m., Wednesday, 1 – 5 p.m., Thursday, 8 a.m. – noon and 1 – 5 p.m. and Friday, 8 a.m. – noon.
