Playing with Beauty is a group exhibition and will be on view at RedLine through April 19, 2015.
Since 2011 RedLine has served as the nerve center for Denver’s Month of Photography exhibition and is excited to return in this same role in 2015! Mark Sink will also return to curate this year’s Month of Photography’s signature exhibition, Playing with Beauty. Sink is a curator, artist, photographer, and is the champion of infusing and connecting Denver for two months with the most exciting and innovative work going on in the field of contemporary fine art photography. Playing with Beauty specifically explores how the loaded subject of beauty is now being approached, or “played with”, in photography today. As Sink explains, I have always been interested in the impact beauty has in our lives and culture. Examples of this are in early historical surveys of the romanticized west and continue on to todays’ contemporary visions. Through MoP’s signature exhibition, I explore this timeless interest in the human form as well as our culture of celebrity worship. Beauty drives my personal work and life and I am interested how others deal with the subject through the lens. Visitors to Playing with Beauty can anticipate works exploring this subjective and often controversial topic in art; ranging from classical to conceptual, from humorous to dark.
