PORTFOLIO REVIEW
April 25, 11am
Gregory Harris, Kristine Potter, and Carson Sanders
What happens when a High Museum curator, a Guggenheim recipient, and a publisher of over 100 books walk into a bar? (That’s the Pre-Corona text…but now the bars are closed). Be part of the fray on April 25th when we host our second portfolio review, this time in the virtual realm—an opportunity to receive artistic feedback and professional guidance in three one-on-one conversations. Gregory, Kristine, and Carson are eager to consider your developing projects, as well as those ready for exhibition and publication. Participants of all levels are invited to show prints, books, and/or digital formats. The reviews will be held on Zoom. Participants will be asked to send work ahead of time so reviewers can prepare for each conversation.
The following day, Sunday, April 26, join Kristine Potter for an artist talk broadcast from her home in Nasheville. Kristine will include a musical component in her talk. A book show and chat between Carson and published photographer Amanda Greene will be held soon, as well.
Fee: $150 for three 20 minute reviews; $100 for students

Kristine Potter (Nashville, TN)
Kristine’s work explores masculine archetypes, the American landscape, and cultural tendencies toward mythologizing the past. Her previous work has focused on young male military cadets (“The Gray Line”) and the relentless danger of the American west (“Manifest”). Her current body of work, “Dark Waters,” investigates a feedback loop between nature and myth: how a threatening landscape primes a culture for violence, and a violent culture projects threat onto a landscape. Potter was awarded a MFA in photography from Yale University in 2005. She is a 2018 Guggenheim Fellow and the current awardee of the Grand Prix Images Vevey, France. Her first monograph, Manifest, was published by TBW Books in 2018.
