Susan Aurinko shows at LUMA
"Searching for Jehanne: The Joan of Arc Project"
Hilton | Asmus photographer, Susan Aurinko, exhibits latest work at LUMA
(Loyola University Museum of Art)
July 1 - October 21, 2017
In 2013, Chicago based artist Susan Aurinko went on
a
photographic expedition to France. While in the
Loire
Valley, she visited a 12th century chateau that was once the temporary home of Joan of Arc. Captivated by the legend of the saint, Aurinko repeatedly returned to photograph the places where Joan of Arc once lived, prayed, and fought throughout her brief life. Aurinko employs layered images to explore the iconographic nature of this revered saint through popular culture, literature, feminism, and theology.
Three of Susan Aurinko's photographs from this exhibition are currently on display at Hilton Asmus Contemporary thru October.
