Through April 17 MTSU will host “Anonymous Women: Camouflage and Calamity,” an exhibit by Chicago-based photographic artist Patty Carroll.
The Baldwin Photographic Gallery will feature more than 25 of Carroll’s large-scale works from her ongoing project of highly intense, saturated color photographs.
Through luxe studio installations made for the camera, Carroll confronts the complicated and changing relationship between women and domesticity. By camouflaging female mannequins with drapery and domestic objects, she creates a dark and humorous game of hide-and-seek between her viewers and the Anonymous Women.
The “Anonymous Women” series has been exhibited internationally and has won multiple awards, including a Top 50 recognition by the arts nonprofit Photolucida in 2014. Carroll’s photographs have been shown internationally in many one-person exhibits in China and Europe, as well as in the U.S.
Baldwin Photographic Gallery, located on the second floor of the Bragg Media and Entertainment Building, is open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays when university classes are in session. The exhibition runs through April 17.
