According to group spokeswoman, Mitzi Cross, the \u201cJunkies\u201d are \u201cpurist\u201d in the sense that they shoot film and develop their own negatives and photos in a true darkroom.<\/p>\n

She states, \u201cWe want to exhibit work based on images that the photographer and camera actually saw. Any manipulation that is done to the image is done in the darkroom. Architecture as a subject allows the artist to experiment with point-of-view, subject matter and composition. These photographs present a wide variety of interpretations of design that we find in the real world\u201d.<\/p>\n

There is a sense of familiarity throughout the exhibition and the works contain both traditional subjects, as well as, a few abstract compositions. In the age of digital photography these pieces are a refreshing experience.<\/p>\n

Structured features a variety of techniques including Sam K\u2019s metallic print of a regional tobacco barn and Mark Grigg\u2019s silver gelatin print of Nashville\u2019s Parthenon. Malcolm Glass’ image titled View from the Electric Company is a toned silver print presenting a dreamy ghost-like vision of bright windows. Glass has exhibited work in numerous galleries in the mid-south, and he has published photos in several magazines and books.<\/p>\n

In 2001 he won first prize in a photography competition in Asheville, North Carolina for the book Asheville: A Photographic Portrait, published by Twin Lights. In 2004 he and his wife Mitzi Cross presented an exhibit of their photographs, \u201cIntimate Portraits,\u201d at the Downtown Artists\u2019 Co-Op Gallery in Clarksville, Tennessee; and in 2009 their exhibition of alternative process photographs, \u201cWomen,\u201d was featured at the Premiere Gallery of the Tennessee Art League in Nashville, TN.<\/p>\n

Structured will be on exhibit through October 9th.<\/p>\n
