School 33 Opening Tonight
After Image
Curated by Jamillah James
Opening Reception January 29th 6-9pm
The term afterimage describes when an image persists in one’s vision, even after exposure to the original image has ceased.
The artists in this exhibition employ aggressive appropriative strategies—hacking, remixing, erasing, translation, and so forth—to disorient viewer expectations and to offer new interpretative and narrative possibilities.
Matters of ownership and authorial privilege are now greatly problematized by the volume and fluid interchange of information on the Internet. Artists are reflecting this cultural shift with a more deliberate presence—literal or technical—in their work, and, especially, interjected into that of another. Unusual juxtapositions invest mundane or familiar objects with new vitality and forge new histories. Simple cut-and-paste (by hand or digitally) becomes a revelatory and critical act. Referencing and borrowing are now commonplace, and are no longer exclusive to new media work.
Ultimately, these practices exploit the rift between history and the formation of memory—how do we reconcile an image or object's original intent, meaning, and context with new exposures? If an image has a past and a present, who determines its future and how? The artists selected for AFTER IMAGE take this moment as an invitation to intervene, and to further diffuse the concept of artist as sole maker of meaning.

Adam Parker Smith: The Bad. The Bad. The Bad At the bad
The Art Gallery at the University of Maryland presents the exhibition The Bad. The Bad. The Bad.
This exhibition of new works detours from Smith’s previous exhibitions, which focused on interpersonal relationships, romance, and sexuality, directing us now to reflect on, as Smith says, “our relationship with ourselves, with death, with our fears and paranoia, and our imaginations and how we deal with the unknown”. Smith combats the potential heaviness of these subjects with an incredible sense of humor and warmth injected into each piece, both to soften the blow of some difficult topics, but also to create this sense of cognitive dissonance that can keep the viewer on edge, never knowing if they should laugh or cringe. This dissonance may be most exaggerated in Smith’s back gallery installation, “Thriller”, where he invites the viewer to wade out into a waist high photographic ocean, only to be confronted humorously with our fear of death. The Bad. The Bad. The Bad. will feature photographic, video, installation, sculptural, and mural works from Smith.
Ends Thursday, April 1
