Photographic Wonders: American Daguerreotypes from The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

May 17–August 25, 2013
Taft Museum of Art, 316 Pike Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202, (513) 241–0343

This exhibition features about 90 daguerreotypes of exceptional quality and variety, with the high degree of resolution typical of these rare, one-of-a-kind photographs. Works by both famed and anonymous makers provide a window into mid–19th-century America: its occupations, trades, urban and rural scenery, and racial and ethnic diversity.

Tyler Shields: Suspense

May 31–June 22, 2013
Opening May 31, 2013
Miller Gallery, 2715 Erie Avenue, Hyde Park Square, Cincinnati, OH 45208, (513) 871–4420

Tyler Shields’ new series of photographs is his most cinematic yet. As you experience these images, you can’t help but hold your breath, or puzzle over how each image was achieved. Always live action in real time, and without any type of manipulation of any kind–ever, the series is driven by the enigmatic concept of “Suspense”. The photographs were shot on location in California, New Mexico, Illinois and Ohio. The Cincinnati show, part of a world tour, will feature more than 30 dramatic new images.
