The work of E. Brady Robinson is featured in Transfer, a solo photography exhibition on display through October 9 at Cornell Cornell Fine Arts Museum

E. Brady Robinson’s work is informed by a culture of instant and mobile image capture. She uses the camera to examine her environment and record fleeting moments of existence. Transfer is based on the concept of the drift – Drifting draws upon pure chance and opportunity for new and authentic experiences generated by different atmospheres from urban landscapes and new places. The snapshot aesthetic is utilized as means to quickly record, document and observe.

The artist’s exploration of the formal qualities of the snapshot is met with rigorous editing and purposeful sequencing culled from over 1,000 images. The installation is a deliberate re-contextualization of sequential shots and describes a territory where the social/cultural landscape, personal experience and pure aesthetics meet.

Located on the campus of Rollins College near downtown Winter Park, the Cornell’s gallery hours are: Tuesday–Friday, 10a.m. to 4p.m. and Saturday & Sunday, 12 to 5 p.m. Admission is $5.00 for adults and is free to CFAM members, Rollins College faculty, staff, and all students with current ID, and children.
