Photo Exhibit “E-KleK-TiK” Signifies Miami – An Eclectic Work of People, Ideas, and Culture”

Opening reception: May 4, 2013, 6:00 – 10:00 p.m.
From May 4, through 31, 2013.

Miami Herald staff photographer and ACND Prep alumnus, Carl Juste curates and presents, “E-KleK-TiK”, An IPC Visual Lab photography exhibit featuring about 80 works by professional photojournalists, instructors at the Lab, and their students. Juste will speak and introduce the concept of the exhibit at the opening reception. Miami based artist, OneWay will DJ. The exhibit is free and open to the public.

“Miami is an eclectic work of people, of ideas, of culture. Why don’t I try to represent that,” questioned Juste. “So, I pulled several examples from my collective Havana Haiti and also asked some of my instructors from the IPC Visual Lab to submit some work and I felt it was important to have my students work too. When you see this exhibit you feel like you are viewing a collection of the universal aesthetic and that was the aim behind curating this show.”

Also exhibiting work are professional photojournalists C.W. Griffin (Miami Herald), Charles Trainor (Miami Herald), Andrew Kaufman. And, their advanced lab students: Jenny Babot Romney, Rubyann Smith Hernandez, Nanci Thomas, Zeus Shama, Jennifer Kay, and Ethan Britton.

The IPC student works will face the instructors’ work. “It gives them a visual connection of where they are and where they can be,” explains Juste. In speaking about the work of Lab student Jennifer Kay who is by profession an Associate Press writer he comments, “You can see her progression. She attempts and succeeds in grasping some of the elements of the visual language.”
