Opening pARTy | Corson Hirschfeld: Afterlife
Presented by Wash Park Art Gallery at Wash Park Art Gallery Cincinnati, OH
Corson’s interdisciplinary photography evolved from documentary research for the scientific journal he edited, Journal of Herpetology, to commercial projects like the iconic “Rainbow Legs” for the Cincinnati Ballet, ultimately leading to his works of art focused on cultural artifacts residing in museums around the world. For over 15 years, Corson obsessively photographed ancient sacred sites, culminating in Places of Power: Sacred Sites of the Americas and Pacific, a traveling exhibition originating at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History in 1988. Corson’s research, travel, and creation of photographs were painstaking, including his post-production technique of hand painting selenium-toned gelatin silver prints in limited editions of 25. Join us to open this retrospective look at Corson's Places of Power series and other defining work. While time breaks apart the physical world into ever-increasing entropy, it simultaneously builds the essence of our being—culture and self. Time gives us more history and experience, not less. Hirschfeld’s work manifests this paradox, pulling ruins of the past into a present experience—a long view of our timeless humanity. Corson saw his photography as “a thread attached to the person who did it, a bridge between us and the people.” Viewing his work, audiences inherit that thread and bridge to the ancients—and Corson.
