About The Exhibition
This exhibition is in sorts a celebration of the dynamics and fluidity of photography. The four photographers on display in the Wilson 4 exhibition represents the diversity of approaches and values found in four paradigms of image making: pictorialism, documentary, formalism and conceptualization.
What unifies the four photographers is their location and engagement with the "Eyes on Main Street" photography festival in Wilson North Carolina – Thus the title of the VASA exhibition – and a shared inquiry into the image(s) as a vehicle for the representation of place and ideas. Each draws upon various paradigms providing structure, historical context and consistency to their work.

On VASA Exhibitions:
VASA Exhibitions over the years have provided a platform for individual and group exhibitions, collaborative exhibitions with various organizations and galleries and exhibitions that follow a particular theme or inquiry such as “Where Do We Go Now” curated by Rui Cepeda and the “Kharkiv School of Photography: Soviet Censorship to New Aesthetics” curated by Igor Manko.
VASA Exhibitions are international and multicultural. The curatorial team has strived to present work that not only represents the photographers but also the social, historical and cultural. As an online international project, VASA works to engage various digital tools. Video, as an example, not only offers the potential for the presentation of works, it provides the opportunity and framework for the voice of the author to be seen and heard. Through image, text, sound and animation, VASA works to expand the exhibition paradigm and provide a rich experience for the viewer (as well as the author).
VASA Exhibitions provides a viewing and research environment by archiving all of the exhibitions in their entirety. For example, the viewer may view a 2009 exhibition as it was presented and not just traces of its existence.
VASA Exhibitions (a program in VASA) includes images, videos and sound works.
