SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO.- The Santa Fe Art Institute presents “Reverse,” on view through July 25, 2003 in conjunction with PhotoArts Santa Fe. Reverse is an exhibition of work by five emerging photographers and their mentors. This exhibition is curated by the Santa Fe Art Institute and organized in conjunction with PhotoArts Santa Fe.

In a twist on the tradition of established artists recognizing their influences, the Santa Fe Art Institute has instead selected five emerging artists to exhibit in Reverse. In turn, these emerging artists have chosen New Mexico photographers who have directly influenced their photographic work or artistic process. Adrain Chesser will exhibit with Debbie Fleming Caffery, Julie Graber with Steve Northup, Jennifer Schlesinger with Janet Russek, Michael Webb with David Scheinbaum, and Wendy Young with Gay Block. Five images by each photographer will be on exhibit, and a wide range of photographic work will be represented-from documentary to portraiture to landscape to abstract.

PhotoArts Santa Fe is a 10-day summer festival that celebrates and showcases the photographic arts. In addition to the Santa Fe Art Institute, Santa Fe and Albuquerque galleries, museums, photographic organizations, educational institutions, bookstores, and businesses are collaborating to create this exciting biennial event.
