When James Welling gets deeply involved in a project, he sees the subjects he’s interested in everywhere. His current body of work, Thought Objects, emphasizes textured surfaces. Some of his subjects include flowers, Brutalist architecture, a blue door in Paris, a sculpture table in Guilford, but his photographs do much more than convey subject matter, they open out into fields of metaphor and analogy.
Copy Machine Manifestos: Artists Who Make Zines, a presentation of zines made by North American artists over the past five decades, is an ambitious undertaking. Curated by Branden W. Joseph and Drew Sawyer, the exhibition is necessarily a sampling rather than a survey in light of the sheer volume of zines produced in that period.
