Abstract

Early Photographic work was exhibited in 'All in the Family,' UK Art Museum, (July 16 – November 23, 2024) and 2nd Story, 522 West Short Street, Lexington (July 16 – October 12, 2024), University of Kentucky, College of Fine Arts. Co-curated by Stuart Horodner and Leah Kolb. This was a two-venue exhibition exhibiting works by emerging and established artists who have used their relatives (parents, children, siblings, partners) as subject matter to examination love and intimacy, acceptance and forgiveness, rituals and routines, and illness and loss. Selections offered a broader definition than blood relations, including aspects of chosen families and the significance of pets. The show provided opportunity to consider who and what we value, and the related joys and challenges that are part of the equation. The exhibition title was taken from the American television sitcom that aired on CBS for nine seasons, between 1971 – 1979. The TV show broke ground in its depiction of issues previously considered unsuitable for US network comedies, including racism, homosexuality, women’s liberation, religion, abortion, menopause, impotence, and the Vietnam War. Many of the works were part of the Museum’s permanent collection. Additional art was borrowed from studios, galleries, and collections. Besides Billingham, artists included Edgar Tolson, Elinor Carucci, Gaela Erwin, Tommy Kha, Rolf Koppel, Guy Mendes, and Marilyn Minter, Rachael Banks, Tyanna Buie, Rockwell Kent, Tony Tasset, Russell Lee, and Baldwin Lee; Robert Morgan, Aaron Skolnick, James Baker Hall, Barbara Pollack, and Chris Verene, Bill Adams and others.
