« 11/13 - 6:00 PM	Annu Palakunnathu Matthew: An Indian from India Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts , 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA Cost: Free admission Contact: University Art Gallery Description: University Art Gallery, UMass Dartmouth, New Bedford presents Annu Palakunnathu Matthew: An Indian from India Curated by Viera Levitt Exhibition Dates: Nov 13, 2014 - Jan 25, 2015 Reception: AHA! Night, Thursday Nov 13, 6-9 pm, Artist Talk 7 pm Photo Booth: AHA! Night, Thursday December 11, 6-8 pm The University Art Gallery is pleased to present a solo show by Annu Palakunnathu Matthew, American artist born in England and raised in India. The exhibition will take place at UMass Dartmouth's New Bedford campus between November 13 and January 25, 2015 . Annu Palakunnathu Matthew's work explores and challenges our perception of identity, photography and memory. She enlivens old black and white, or sepia toned photos through a surprising and skillful technique of digital manipulation that preserves the background while adding figures of herself or others. With this body of work, Ms. Matthew challenges our perceptions of time and collective memory, while also asking us to look with new eyes at the much cherished family photograph, especially those that were perhaps brought to this country by our immigrant grandparents. Additionally, by replacing static images with animations that are displayed on iPads and inserted into an old book or picture frames, Matthew adds surprise, an inverted dimension of time and contemporary interpretation into a traditional form of media. As part of our commitment to community engagement, we will have a photo booth taking professional photographs of any three generations of woman from the same immigrant family during AHA! Night on Thursday , December 11 from 6 to 8 pm . Through these portraits, the artist wants to create work that both depict the changing face of American immigration and also chronicles the continual renewal of American diversity. The visitors can bring the whole family and get a print to take home. Learn more at tinyurl.com/immigrantphoto . Reception: AHA! Night, Thursday Nov 13 , 6-9 pm, Artist Talk 7 pm Photo Booth: AHA!
