Spotlight on...Dorie Golkin '08






Top to bottom: "Legs," "Silver," "Stereo," and "Orchid"

Artist statement: "The Pose: Inside, Out" is about the way we see, the way we experience and the way we occupy. The absence and presence of forms and figures alter perceptions and change moods. Objects and people pose differently whether contained privately (inside) or publicly (out). Public social spaces call for photographic abstraction: forms are entangled, blurred and unfamiliar. Directly opposed to these chaotic images are the orderly interiors. Inside photos allow one to understand the space or figure as a whole without piecing together truncated parts. The experience with these spaces and these photographs is deeply personal and unique. I hope you enjoy the show.

Dorie's senior thesis show "The Pose: Inside, Out" opens on Tuesday, April 1 in the Lucas Gallery at 185 Nassau; there will be an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m.

Intersections is the blog of The Daily Princetonian's 'Street' section, written by its editors and staff. Each day will be devoted to a different theme. On Monday, come read about style trends and see shots from around campus. On Tuesday, student visual and performing artists will be profiled. Wednesdays are devoted to relationships; our new sex columnist will be blogging on "Sex and the Street." Our reviewers will explore movies, music and TV on Thursdays, and on Friday we'll recap the week on campus.
