The Ohio Arts Council's Riffe Gallery will present Deep Space: Ohio Photographers from July 29 - October 17, 2010.

Curated by Marcella Hackbardt, the exhibition features contemporary Ohio fine art photographers whose images mobilize and manifest inventive constructions of space. The photographs negotiate distance and proximity as they examine three-dimensional depths depicted with the camera's perspectival authority, as well as spaces deeply inscribed with intellectual, emotional and aesthetic perceptions.

Artists in the show include: Jodi Boatman, Columbus; Debra A. Davis, Toledo; Grant Fletcher, Columbus; Jaime Kennedy, Kent; Allyson Klutenkamper, Portsmouth; Bridget Murphy Milligan, Tiro; Emily Hanako Momohara, Cincinnati; Benjamin Montague, Centerville; Pipo Nguyen-duy, Oberlin; Rachel Girard Reisert, Cincinnati; Barry Underwood, Cleveland; Kelly Urquhart, Kent; Yvette van der Velde, Columbus; Lynn Whitney, Waterville.

Join the Riffe Gallery for the opening of Deep Space: Ohio Photographers on Thursday July 29, 2010 from 5- 7 p.m. Curator Marcella Hackbardt will lead a tour of the exhibition on Friday July 30 from noon - 1 p.m.

The Ohio Arts Council's Riffe Gallery will also host a free family workshop on September 19, 2010 from 2 - 4 p.m. Registration begins July 29 and ends September 10 online at www.riffegallery.org .
