The Philadelphia Museum of Art is the only U.S. venue hosting a traveling retrospective exhibition by a photographer who discovered her calling right here in the city of Brotherly Love.
Judith Joy Ross' photography exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art will transport you to decades past.
Peter Barberie, Brodsky Curator of Photographs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, says this body of Ross' work "gives us a portrait of who we are in our time and place."Joshua Chuang, Organizing Curator, says Ross first discovered photography at Moore College of Art.Ross says she went out and photographed people and that when she took strangers' photographs, she was intensely relating to them.
Ross works in series and the exhibition starts with Eurana Park, which Chuang says "is the park that she and her siblings went to when they were children.""We encounter all of these individuals who are just facing everyday life," says Barberie. "Every photograph is a very brief exchange between two strangers who are sort of united by the big camera between them."Ross describes her photographs as "direct and honest and evocative.
One of her longest running series is called Jobs. There are photographs of people at work in their uniforms, along with members of the military.Ross also photographed inside Hazleton public schools where she grew up.She's also photographed visitors to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in D.C. and members of Congress."It's quite epic in its arc, when you think about American history over the past 50 years," Chuang says.
"I'm focused on looking until the world makes more sense and I see something," says Ross. "When you get the frame right, you found meaning."Judith Joy Ross' retrospective exhibition is on view through August 6.
