Auto/Focus
June 2, 4-8 pm AUTO/FOCUS, The photographs of Henry Horenstein and Tania Nelson. This featured exhibition in the Side Door Gallery is the Northeastern Wisconsin debut of the photographic work of Horenstein who resides in Boston, MA, and Green Bay resident, Nelson.
The exhibition will run from June 2 until July 15.
Seen through the lenses of Boston photographer Henry Horenstein and Tania Nelson of Green Bay, car culture serves as the common ground providing inspiration to both. AUTO/FOCUS presents the first-ever exhibition of photographs by these two artists in the state. Sharing an aesthetic built on dramatic black and white compositions, Nelson responds to the found text and image montages that appear in her framed views of the street with layered billboards, storefronts and other signs; Horenstein dives deep into the world of the speedway and the characters who are its inhabitants.
Henry Horenstein has been a professional photographer, filmmaker, teacher, and author since the 1970s. He has published over 35 books, including several monographs of his own work such as Honky Tonk, Histories, Show, Animalia, Humans, Racing Days, Close Relations, and many others. He has also authored a number of texts books, including Black & White Photography, Digital Photography, and Beyond Basic Photography, used by hundreds of thousands of college, university, high-school, and art school students as their introduction to photography. His latest monograph, Speedway1972 was published by Stanley/Barker (UK) in 2022. Horenstein is a professor of photography at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and lives in Boston.
With an eye for observing the social dynamics around her, Tania Nelson uses mixed-media collage and street Photography as her commentary on issues of personal identity, consumer culture, politics, historical narratives and many other current points of division and unity. Tania was born and raised in Wausau, Wisconsin. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay in 1999. She studied in the interdisciplinary Social Change and Development program, with an emphasis in American Social Issues. She is self-taught in the world of art and took it up as a profession after a nearly 20-year career in the banking industry.
