CONSTANT FOX SEVEN
Emerging Women Photographic Artists
The Texas Tech University School of Art presents Constant Fox Seven: Emerging Women Photographic Artists, an exhibition curated by Victoria Marie Bee featuring photographic works by seven Texas Tech School of Art undergraduate students: Amber Eaton, Brooklyn Hendrix, Misha Burleson Herrera, Adisen Little, Ani Petrova, Randi Reding, and Susan C. Thorn. The exhibition is free and open to the public. An opening reception will be held as part of the First Friday Art Trail at the TTU Satellite Gallery, Friday November 7th, from 6pm – 9pm. Constant Fox Seven will be on view Friday, November 7th – Saturday, November 22nd.
The female photographers featured in Constant Fox Seven work in a traditional darkroom and create gelatin silver prints that explore a variety of issues, subjects, and ideas, from identity and race to issues of environment and landscape. These artists subject contemporary scenes to a nearly 150 year-old photographic process, and continue in the path forged by the earliest known female photographer, Constance Fox Talbot, who experimented with developing photographic processes as early as 1839.
Constant Fox Seven curator Victoria Marie Bee earned a B.A. in English Language and Literature and a MAE from Texas Tech University, where she is currently a MFA student in Photography and a Graduate Instructor of Introduction to Photography. Bee is also a poet and letterpress artist, and exhibits and publishes nationally.
The TTU Satellite Gallery at CASP/LHUCA is located at 1108 5th Street (5th street and Avenue J) in downtown Lubbock. Hours are Friday, November 7th 6pm – 9pm, and Saturdays from 1pm – 5pm or by appointment.
The exhibitions, speakers and related programs at Landmark Arts and the Texas Tech University School of Art are made possible in part by generous grants from the Helen Jones Foundation and The CH Foundation. Additional support comes from cultural activities fees administered through the Texas Tech College of Visual & Performing Arts. Support for Satellite Gallery exhibitions comes from the Ryla T. & John F. Lott Endowment for Excellence in the Visual Arts, administered through the School of Art.
