First Timer: Derek Jackson


USM Area Gallery, Woodbury Campus Center
Bedford Street, Portland

October 26-December 8
Opening Reception and Performance:
Thursday, November 2, 5-8 p.m.

Jackson's series titled The First Timer consists of photographic diptychs which portray the "before and after'" transformation of individuals. As a series, First Timer is an experiment in character and narrative. The images are primarily shot in 35mm film and hand printed directly from the negative.

While First Timer is a photography-based project, it has also evolved into live performance installations.

Derek Jackson has organized performance art pieces at Exit Art, Artist's Space, and the Bronx Museum in NYC.

Sponsored by Office of Campus Diversity & Equity and Women's Studies Program.
