This Is For You

Artists are people too; people with lives; people who chose to make art for a living. It’s easy to forget that. Photographer Michael Hart has been capturing the art and lives of artists in photography for nearly a decade. UNREAL presents this photographic work in a survey of artists involved in and around the American Realness festival. The photographs include images from live performances as well as staged and improvised photo sessions where the line between artist and art, real and unreal is ecstatically blurred. The images will be accompanied by a text piece by writer and performer Ryan Tracy in conversation with the photographer.
