On view October 2 - December 3, 2025

Featuring the works of photographer Ann Kogen, STREET shows a series of street photographs images made in the early 1980s using a Nikon FM camera using black and white TRI-X film.  People on the street, chance encounters, reflections from store windows, signs, walls all document the world in striking black and white.   The STREET show photographs were taken in locations such as Chicago, Champaign, New Orleans, Europe, Turkey and Egypt.  Capturing candid moments of people and places is a kind of documentary photography that reflects different aspects of the society and humanity of the time.  There is a timeless quality to the photographs, a sense of common humanity that is easily relatable, mostly because humans share similar universal qualities regardless of their many differences.   Street photography captures the beauty, chaos and nuances of everyday life in public spaces.  These engaging images tell stories about the world around us.
