In the Garden traces how photography has been used to document humans' relationship to nature since the invention of the medium.
An ongoing exhibition, Still Lives: Early Works by Sharon Core, is currently on display at the Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina, featuring photographs from two of Core's early bodies of work, Eating and The Overtoom Squatters.
Sharon Core's first monograph, Sharon Core: Early American, is scheduled for release this November by Radius Books. Core's Early American series, inspired by the paintings of American still-life painter Raphael Peale, is a brilliant exploration of trompe l'oeil's relationship to photography, and of photography's relationship to the past.
Sharon Core's work is currently on display in the exhibition San Antonio Collects: Contemporary, at the San Antonio Museum of Art through July 1, 2013. The exhibition recognizes the role San Antonio collectors have played in shaping the city's evolution as an art destination, and features work from each of Core's three major series: Thiebauds, Early American and 1606-1907.
Work by Sharon Core is featured in a three-person exhibition, Nature Morte: Contemporary Still Life Photography, at The Horticultural Society of New York, on display through February 10. The exhibition highlights the work of Core, Corin Hewitt, and Miranda Lichtenstein, each of whom utilize the tradition of still life as part of their artistic process.
Sharon Core's exhibition - 1606-1907 - opens at the gallery on Thursday, October 27th, and will feature new photographic works that explore the subject of floral still-life painting. Similar to the artist's earlier work, the series examines the relationship of representational painting to the medium of photography. But rather than focusing on a specific artist or time period, as in the previous Thiebaud and Early American works, the new series references a pictorial convention within painting as a whole. The exhibition will be on display until December 23.
Work from Sharon Core's Early American series is featured in the Everson Museum of Art exhibition Still Life: Revisited, which opened June 25 and runs through September 11.
Gallery artists Sharon Core and Laura Letinsky will exhibit their work and give public lectures as part of Object Lesson, a still-life show curated by New Yorker critic Vince Aletti, one of several shows that make up this year's New York Photo Festival (May 12 - 16).
Letinsky will be speaking on Thursday, May 13 at 2pm at St. Ann's Warehouse, 38 Water Street, between Main Street and Dock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201. Core will be speaking on Saturday, May 15 at 2pm, also at St. Ann's Warehouse.
A selection of Sharon Core photographs are currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, as a part of Art Remix, a new series at the museum that juxtaposes contemporary and historical works of art.
Sharon Core will have a solo exhibition of her Early American series at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia. The exhibition will be shown in two venues, Pinnacle Gallery, Savannah July 8 - August 16, 2009 and the Trois Gallery, Atlanta October 8 - November 25, 2009. Both the J. Paul Getty Museum of Art and The Amon Carter Museum have recently acquired examples from Core's Early American series.
