Daniel W. Coburn - rants and accolades

“Truth Defined” – UNM Graduate Student Exhibition and Panel Discussion in Conjuction with SPE Southwest Conference.

dancoburn — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:28:29 +0000

Selections from Daniel Coburn’s “Next of Kin” series will be on display in an upcoming exhibition at the Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

This exhibit features work by The University of New Mexico photography graduate students.

A UNM Graduate Student Exhibition | November 11th thru December 11th In the Spector Ripps Project Space 

Truth Defined, an exhibition comprised of photo based works, runs simultaneously with the Society for Photographic Education Southwest Regional Conference held at The School of Arts and Design at Santa Fe Community College. The exhibit is designed as a supplement to the panel discussion, How Photography Fails Us, lead by current UNM graduate students in support of this year’s conference theme Photographic Truths and Other Illusions. The panel discussion and exhibit are executed to challenge the role of the photograph as a vessel for truth. Although distinctly different, each of these artists’ work hones in on similar themes, primarily the human tendency to perceive the photograph as reality while failing to recognize the subjective nature of the lens. Photographs by The University of New Mexico MFA candidates Stephanie Brunia, Daniel Coburn, Rachel Cox, Lauren Greenwald, Jamie Kovach and Colby Sempek.

Public Opening 6:00-9:00pm November 11th

Next of Kin – New Work By Daniel W. Coburn

dancoburn — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 22:10:15 +0000

In “Next of Kin” I explore the concept of home by recording my family history in parables of love, reverie, respect and quiet tragedy. After a yearlong hiatus from my hometown, I returned to reexamine my relationship with immediate and extended family. I use the camera to describe the powerful personalities of my parents, and the complexities of their relationship. I photograph the children in my family to revisit my own childhood, which exists only as a set of fleeting, enigmatic images in my aging memory. I make these observations in an effort to better understand the success and failures of my own relationships outside the family unit. By studying the hierarchy of control and power within the clan, my artistic process has become cathartic and I have developed a greater compassion for these influential characters that continue to shape my existence.
