Ken Konchel And Jeff Palmer: BODY / BUILDING
June 23—August 11
A challenging new show allows the viewer to compare the structural similarities of the human body with architectural formations. The show, BODY / BUILDING, features the work of Ken Konchel and Los Angeles photographer Jeff Palmer. The exhibit runs June 23, 2007 through August 11, 2007 with a grand opening reception on June 23, 7:30–11:00 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public.
According to the ancient Roman architect Vetruvius, the precise mathematical relationships that exist in the human body should be followed in architecture. BODY/BUILDING explores the correlation between human and architectural forms through an examination of the male nude photography of Jeff Palmer and the architectural abstracts of Ken Konchel. phd gallery hosts the exhibition of black and white photography and will hang 22 large format works by each artist.
Professor Carl Safe, of Washington University's Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts contends that the work of these two artists is designed to intentionally encourage us to see in ways that we are not used to seeing. They challenge us to more clearly understand who we are and what we value. In the process we will be required to reassess our own sensibilities. Like many artful endeavors, their work can be provocative and for some, may even offend. (Read Professor Safe's essay.)
