Title: Girl Ascending: Melissa Ann Pinney
Personal Creator: Melissa Ann Pinney
Description: Girl Ascending began with a photograph of a girl seemingly suspended in mid-air, holding onto a chain-link fence with one hand, her dress lifted by the breeze. The setting is commonplace: a baseball game, nondescript buildings, and a dirt field seen though the fence. Nevertheless, the improbable levitation and serene demeanor of the girl suggested the Ascension of the Blessed Virgin Mary to the artist, raised, as she was, on the symbolic imagery of Catholicism. Grounded in attentive observation of the world, Chicago-based photographer, Melissa Ann Pinney reveals how dreams and expectations of girlhood are constructed and communicated between mothers and daughters, society and friends. She intimately portrays her daughter, Emma, growing up and becoming an adolescent, providing fresh insights into her day to day life with family, friends and neighbors. One of eight children from a large, Catholic family, the artist has always been drawn to scenes of family that also express her interest in ritual, mystery and memory. While her photographs capture seemingly insignificant moments from a girl’s daily world, they signify mythic and heroic themes of the vital transformation that takes place when a girl enters into womanhood. Exhibition held in the Street Gallery space.

Title: The Salt Lake City Ethics Project: A Photographic Investigation of Ethics
Personal Creator: Valerie Dow; Teresa Flowers; Jim Frankoski; Chad Johnson; Craig Law; Fred Wright;
Description: Character translates into how we behave. Throughout our lives we make decisions born of options. They may be as simple as which shirt to wear, or as complex as whether to marry. In each case they entail conflict and resolution. Becoming comfortable with conflict is a paradox, but it often defines behavior. In our society conflict is to be avoided at all costs. But by doing so we are robbing ourselves, and our children, of the "stuff" that helps us develop character and personal ethics. Exhibition held in the Main Gallery space.
