Elijah Gowin (born 1967)[1] is an American art photographer and Professor and Chair of the Department of Media, Art and Design at the University of Missouri–Kansas City.[2] He was a 2008 Guggenheim Fellow,[3] during which he worked on a series of photographs, Of Falling and Floating. His work is in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.[4] He is the son of photographer Emmet Gowin.
Early life and education
[edit]Gowin was born in 1967 in Dayton, Ohio.[5] His father is the photographer Emmet Gowin.[6] He graduated from Davidson College in 1990 with a BA in Art History, and was awarded an MFA in photography from the University of New Mexico (1996).
Life and work
[edit]Gowin has taught at University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, St. Mary's College of Maryland, and University of Missouri, Kansas City.[3][7]
Of Falling and Floating is a series of photographs of people falling, made by collaging scanned photographs and images from the internet and reprinting them as paper negatives.[8] It was exhibited in 2009 at the Griffin Museum of Photography as part of a show called Pull of Gravity.[3][9] Mark Feeney suggested the images could be read either as representing either negative emotions like "anxiety and dislocation" or positively as images of "buoyancy, even jubilation".[8]
His other series of photographs include Hymnal of Dreams,[5] Watering, and Lonnie Holley. Watering used collaged digital images themed around baptism.[10]
He has had solo shows at Contemporary Art Center of Virginia (Virginia Beach, VA), Vermont Center of Photography (Brattleboro, VT), and the Light Factory (Charlotte, NC).[7]
