The Arc | Illumination, Ritual, Reflection
A two-part exhibition, Curated by Jen Ervin
The Redux Contemporary Art Center
Charleston, South Carolina,
On View: April 5 – May 19, 2019
The Arc is a multi-media presentation of work created by artist Jen Ervin, a Redux Studio Artist alumna (2011-2014). This collection bridges polaroid with experimental filmmaking to create a rhythmic exploration of place. Ervin’s polaroids evoke a vulnerability relatable to the human condition and the evolution of memory. They are installed in an asymmetrical grid alluding to a narrative with no beginning, middle or end, yet offers continuum. Ervin’s films offer an extension of the experience to the viewer, drawing in on universal archetypes and a sense of timelessness.
Illumination, Ritual, Reflection is an invitational group exhibition curated by Jen Ervin. It brings to focus the provocative work of nine contemporary photographers: Rebecca Drolen, Noelle McCleaf, Jordanna Kalman, Richard McCabe, Neal Casal, Ashley Gates, John Lusk Hathaway, Michael McCraw and Jesse Koechling.
The show aims to demonstrate how creativity can illuminate the relationship between ourselves and the ever-shifting landscape (societal, ecological, psychic) through rituals and reflections.

THE ARC book is now available for preorder Release, early March.

New Interview with Jen about Motherhood over at This on That (Australia)
excerpt Are you similar as a parent and a photographer?
Yes, I tend to have a “less is more” approach with both. I prefer minimal structure to allow for spontaneity, growth and experimentation. I’m a bit of an existentialist. I typically prefer to work with limited amount of equipment and a small set of parameters (used as flexible guides), reevaluating their benefits as I go. If something isn’t working, I make necessary adjustments. The same applies with my parenting style.
