6 Months, A Memorial
(March 11-April 28, 2002) is a presentation of photographically-based
works made in response to, but not necessarily documents of, September
11 memorials (defined in a broad sense) as well as the role of photography
in our conception of the events. From a national open call for submissions,
we received almost 100 responses and selected over 25 artists displaying
more than 60 works on this theme. The work ranges from beautiful color
and black-and-white framed photographs of spontaneous memorials and
vigils to A Moment of Silence, a one-minute video showing a close-up
of a candle, to Flaggingspirits, a collective web-based project by photographers
from all over the United States concerning the use and display of the
American flag, to a recycled wedding dress adorned with newspaper images
of Afghan people.
