Online Group Exhibition - "Migration” December 2022

 

Analog Forever Magazine is pleased to showcase 21 images in this month’s online exhibition, entitled “Migration,” curated by the Founder of jdc Fine Art, contemporary art gallery and dealer, Jennifer DeCarlo!

Jennifer DeCarlo writes:

Migration speaks to place and displacement.  It may be driven by necessity or aspiration, curiosity, or adventure.  I am interested in the diversity of this universal phenomenon.  It is not crossing a line in the sand.  It is neither the line, nor the sand.  It is the ringing promise for hope, a splendid and terrible thing. 

Like holding your breath under water. 

I was drawn to these images for their ability to speak to the liminal space between places.  They are full of rush and wonder, anticipation, frenzy, and calm.  They embody the emotion held in the leap of faith, not only by the subject but the new territory within which they would arrive. 

We are all travelers moving through time, sharing space.

Trusting to be received.

About the Curator


Jennifer DeCarlo has a strong connection to the photographic field through her work in contemporary art galleries as a writer and patron of the arts. Before opening her own gallery, DeCarlo earned her MFA from UW-Madison, worked for a prominent Chicago gallery, and Writer and Editor for AIPAD (Association of International Photography Art Dealers).

DeCarlo has operated as an art dealer from Chicago, IL; San Diego, CA; and Gleneden Beach, OR.  Through her circle of represented artists, DeCarlo champions work that seeks to serve a higher purpose. Artists of interest tend to specialize in photography but are not limited by its bounds. jdc Fine Art was first established in San Diego in 2011. There, the gallery hosted six (and later two more) seasons of shows, exhibited in regional art fairs, and worked in support of area museums and photo-forward organizations. Having been introduced to the gallery world in Chicago, DeCarlo continues to cultivate connections with collectors and institutions she met there. DeCarlo resided in Chicago again in 2016-17 and collaborated on gallery and corporate exhibitions before returning to southern California. In the fall of 2019, DeCarlo took a space at the Salishan Coastal Lodge on the Oregon Coast; she presently uses this space to present special exhibitions for represented artists. DeCarlo recently became a member of AIPAD. She serves the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology as Board of Directors as Secretary.
