COLLAGE ON VIEW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poetic Gaps: Opacity in the Photographic Imprint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at the Newcomb Art Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
14 August 2025-16 January 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In his writings, Martinican poet and philosopher \u00c9douard Glissant asserts that all people have the right to opacity–to remain elusive and partially hidden. Additionally, he conceptualizes “poetics” as a set of in flux relations that bridges the gap between the known and the unknown. “Poetic Gaps: Opacity in the Photographic Imprint” <\/em><\/strong>uses these claims as a speculative prompt. Taking Newcomb Art Museum\u2019s photographic collection as a point of departure, and extending into the realms of sculpture and installation, this exhibition follows a poetic and relational logic of that which refuses to be fully “caught”, or fully known, within the photographic frame.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artworks gathered in the exhibition feature subjects, objects, and landscapes that push against the boundaries of the traditional photographic medium (which seeks to freeze a moment in time and capture a likeness fully). The play between presence and absence takes center stage. Denying the viewer the option of explicit narrative, photography is used instead as a means to consider the precarious nature of “capturing” a subject, landscape, or moment in time completely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organized into a series of vignettes, <\/em><\/strong>“Poetic Gaps” asks: what happens beyond the photographic frame? What precedes and outlasts it? What keeps itself hidden and remains unseen?   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition, curated by Kaillee Coleman and Fei Xie, curatorial assistants at the Newcomb Art Museum, features work by 18 artists and collectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
