The American South is a region so vast and multi-dimensional that it defies assumptions. To be able to truly capture it, you need to step back and take a panoramic view.
.
In the new exhibition Revelations, the Ogden Museum presents a story of the South in more than 75 images taken from the early 1900s to the present. The show includes works by artists including Keith Calhoun, Chandra McCormick, Walker Evans, Andrew Moore and Dorothea Lange, among others.
.
The exhibition takes its title from the Book of Revelations, the final book of the New Testament, which speaks to the future of humanity while giving a nod to the present and the past. “Revelations is an action word that spurs wonder or new discovery through art,” says Richard McCabe, the Ogden Museum Curator of Photography.
