New photography exhibit featuring campus sculptures now on display in South Campus Library

A new campus photography exhibit is now on display at the South Campus Library until March 27, 2020.

In 2019, UT Southwestern received three significant art donations, expanding the campus’s outdoor art holdings dramatically. In celebration of these additions to our campus, UTSW students and employees who have previously submitted photographs to the annual On My Own Time art show were invited to photograph works of art in the UTSW collection that are on display outdoors. Each photograph offers a unique perspective: some photos include people interacting with the art; some utilize digital filters or photography techniques to strike a dramatic tone; and others capture close-ups of the surface of the artwork, separating it from its setting and focusing the viewer on its surface treatment.

Works on view in this photography exhibition include:
