HYDE GALLERY -- MUSEUM OF WISCONSIN ART IN WEST BEND
John Shimon and Julie Lindemann are American artists who work together as the collaborative duo J. Shimon & J. Lindemann. They embrace their Wisconsin origins and are best known for their photographs about human existence in the Midwest. Their photographs are introspective—they could not be taken by an outsider. While Shimon and Lindemann are fully versed in contemporary photography and social media, their knowledge of photographic history and antiquarian techniques gives their pictures a distinct aesthetic. This gets to the very heart of their work: even though they use a medium with inherent possibilities for mass production, they favor the individual—and sometimes unique—photographic print. There’s a Place is their first museum retrospective and the largest exhibition of their work to date.
My Advanced Photo class from Cornell College is taking a road trip to see this show!
