Thanks to Maria Mankin for the nice review of Hurricane Story on her site, Books, j’adore.

MIAD Exhibition
A selection of fifteen prints from Hurricane Story will be featured in three person exhibition at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design this fall.
“Transience”, featuring Angela Bacon Kidwell, Adam Ekberg and Jennifer Shaw will be on view from November 5 to 22, 2012 in the Perspectives Gallery.
“Whether narrating a bittersweet story, creating dreamlike narratives, or constructing spectacular fleeting moments, representation of ephemerality prevails. Infusing reason with emotion and creating physicality of luminance, these artists transform the mundane, devastating, and emotive experiences of everyday life into miraculous photographic collections. Impermanence, reality, and performance are explored through constructed processes culminating into a conceptually rich and visually luscious experience.”
The exhibition was curated by Kelly Peloza, Sarah Stankey, and Alice Waraxa.
Centre for the Living Arts Exhibition
Mobile’s Centre for the Living Arts presents PULSE, a project designed to elicit and register the “pulse” of the public around notions of memory prior to the spring launch of their major initiative, The Memory Project. Visitors will be invited to respond to a series of “I remember” topics, including family, food, music, and the environment. To trigger and inspire public recordings of memory, PULSE will offer an exhibition of memory-infused works by two significant photographers, Jennifer Shaw’s Hurricane Story and Herman Leonard’s Above All, Enjoy the Music. On view January 13 through February 27, 2012. Read more here.
