Didactic – Art Minute
Didactic – Art Minute
Episode 287 (revised Episode 114) Jul-2007; revised May-2013, Emily Ryan I’m David Cateforis with another Art Minute from the Spencer Museum of Art. In her 1998, 2000 series, "Accidentally Kansas", photographer Lori Nix presents a witty perspective on outlandish events she recalls from her childhood in the Midwest. Born in Kansas and raised in Missouri, Nix is no stranger to capricious weather and unusual natural occurrences. In "Accidentally Kansas", she embraces these memories. Nix constructed dioramas of 18 particularly bizarre recollections, and took color photographs of them. The result is a series of brilliantly colored and composed images that poke fun at popular Midwestern stereotypes, such as tornadoes, and insect infestations. Challenging viewers to determine the degree of reality represented, Nix’s humorous compositions present an interesting style of photography-one that proposes new interpretations of personal remembrances. In July 2007 the Spencer became the first institution to own Nix’s entire series. You can view any of the photographs from "Accidentally Kansas" in the print room on Fridays from 10-12 and 1-4, and by appointment. With thanks to Emily Ryan for her text, from the Spencer Museum of Art, I’m David Cateforis.
