Sunday, February 19th, 2012 Columbus Dispatch By Christopher Yates   In its 12th year, Image Ohio continues to fulfill a mission highlighting the achievements of Ohio photographers and time-based media artists.   The juried exhibition includes work selected by a different juror every year — this year, Chris Stults, assistant film/video curator at the Wexner Center for the Arts.   Such a selection process [...]

Rojorshi Ghosh and Ray Klimek bring landscapes and locales to Roy this month. Klimek’s Carbon photograph series seems to depict vast fields of stars or galaxies.

Last week, Columbus Alive featured our Residues exhibition in their November gallery preview.  Below is the article:   “Ray Klimek and Rajorshi Ghosh take what most of us would consider trash or a ruined landscape and turn it into art. The two Ohio University assistant professors have both documented man’s effect on the areas where they grew up. [...]

This month at Roy, Summer Zickfoose and Clare Fox mix domestic tradition with utility. Although their materials vary, the work is complementary. Personal memory and family tradition seem to fit seamlessly with more universal meditations on gender norms.   Heavy farm equipment rusts among patterned curtains, teacups, and ribbon. Cyanotypes of women’s garments hang from clotheslines. Decorative prints [...]

Interwoven shadows and overlapping patterns of paper and emptiness invite the imagination to fill those absences.   This focus on absence, presence, and the transition between is apparent in a large labyrinth [...]
