Discussions Concerning Contemporary Photographic Art

Neal Cox opens in SRO February 7th


The SRO Photo Gallery at the Texas Tech School of Art has selected Neal Cox of Nacogdoches, TX, for one of its solo artist exhibition slots during the Spring 2011 exhibition schedule. The exhibit will be shown in the SRO Photo Gallery at the Texas Tech School of Art from Feb. 7 – Mar. 4, 2011.

Cox’s series, Regular Polyhedra: Cameras and Images, utilizes pinhole camera designs based on Platonic geometry. The unique cameras and images they produce are interdependent objects that explore geometric possibilities in image making.

Cox is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Stephen F. Austin State University, Nacogdoches, TX. He holds an MFA from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Cox has also taught drawing and printmaking at the Majestic Ranch Arts Foundation in Boerne, TX and printmaking at the Santa Reparta International School of Art in Florence, Italy.

The art building is located at 2802 18th Street (near the corner of 18th Street and Flint Avenue, just east of the architecture building on the Texas Tech campus). Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. The galleries are closed on university holidays.

On Mondays through Fridays, visitor parking is available for $1.20 per hour in the small lot adjacent to the art building and on the fourth floor of the Flint Avenue Parking Facility. Parking is free on weekends. Admission is free.

The exhibitions, speakers and related programs at 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 College of Visual & Performing Arts.

The symposium will be held Sept. 30-Oct. 2, 2010. Leaders in their fields will consider the forces that have historically shaped these areas, as well as the contemporary influences and developing trends that continue to affect our understanding of the history of photography. Be sure to check out their website for more information.

Filter Photo and the Chicago Photography Center are hosting the 2010 Filter Photo Festival. It will take place in Chicago, IL from Oct. 6-10, 2010 with all sorts of activities from portfolio reviews, lectures and exhibitions.

Also, in Washington D.C., the FotoWeek DC 2010 Festival will be going on from Nov. 6-13, 2010. Right now they have some call for entries open so take the opportunity to submit! They are closing soon. They too will have portfolio reviews, lectures and exhibitions.
