 Feminists Role Play With Spitting ImagesPublished: June, 2007  Kelly Connell puts people in relationship with themselves in Giggle, appearing at SF Camerawork's exhibit "Spitting Image." San Francisco — Four young women artists investigate the gestures, costumes, and settings embedded in the representation of female identity in "Spitting Image," a photography exhibit at SF Camerawork. Using role-playing photography — a style in which the photographer performs as, or directs the performance of, her subject for the camera — the four artists explore intimacy, voyeurism, rivalry, social roles and the construction of the female persona. Running from June 7-August 25, the exhibition was organized for SF Camerawork by Bay Area-based curator Terri Whitlock. "Though each of the artists brings her own set of concerns to the table, collectively their work provokes the viewer to not merely consume images, but instead to examine the way images are constructed," she says. "I am so pleased that Camerawork staged the opportunity to consider the work of these women in dialogue with the nationwide observance of the feminist art movement. The exhibition includes Bay Area photographer Morgan Konn, Midwest-based photographer Kelli Connell, and collaborative artists Tarrah Krajnak and Wilka Roig. The exhibition will be open for public viewing Tuesdays through Saturdays from 12-5pm. Admission is $5; $2 for students and seniors.
