The Anderson and VCUarts are pleased to present THE LATENT IMAGE OF US, a solo exhibition by guest artist Kei Ito. Ito is a Baltimore-based interdisciplinary artist whose work expands photographic media through cameraless processes, installation, and chance-based material transformation. Working with light, archive, and ephemeral processes, he explores memory, history, and the invisible forces that shape human experience. Drawing from his family history—his grandfather survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and lived with the lasting trauma of family loss and long-term health effects before eventually passing away from cancer—Ito examines how individuals are shaped by global histories and political forces, particularly those tied to war and national identity. Through his practice, he creates spaces to reflect on multiple perspectives through which historical events and national symbols are understood, as well as the invisible legacies they leave behind.  The exhibition will be on view from August 28th to September 26th with an opening reception on Friday, August 28th from 5-7 pm.    The Anderson is closed for summer break! Join us for our first receptions this fall on August 28th.

The Anderson and VCUarts are pleased to announce Corpus: Selections from the Candela Collection, an exhibition of photographic work by twenty-five artists from the collection of Candela Photographic Arts. The exhibition will be on view at The Anderson from August 28th to October 17th with an opening reception on Friday, August 28th from 5-7 pm.  Corpus: Selections from the Candela Collection, features twenty-five works from the collection that directly and indirectly depict human forms. As a group they speak to the history of representing bodies and how these circulated images can crystallize into visual archetypes, solidify into icons, or produce genres. The artists push up against the limiting and adverse impacts of these conventions by challenging historical forces of idealization, subverting prescribed identities, and defiantly presenting the irreverent. Throughout the work, the voice of the artists demand a say in the power dynamics of interpreting visual history and a place in building the corpus of images that impact individual agency by shaping our collective self-understanding.  The Candela Collection is a continually growing selection of photographic work chosen from the annual Candela Photographic Arts UnBound! Juried Exhibition. The call to artists both nationally and internationally is free of charge and results in hundreds of submissions each year. Selected work is on view at the gallery each summer, and a number of pieces are then purchased to become part of the collection. The curatorial aim of the collection is to gather work in a wide variety of photographic processes that reflect contemporary practices. The mission behind the project is to directly support photographers through the purchase of the work with the end-goal of donating the collection to an institution’s permanent collection. After 16 iterations of the call, the current collection includes 149 photographic artworks and fine art photography books with a vast range of subject matter.
