[In her exhibition “The Yellow Book: Old South Baton Rouge,” Johanna] Warwick (MFA, Photography) examines how interstates 10 and 110, built in the early 1960s, divided Old South Baton Rouge in two, displacing people and businesses and rupturing its sense of community. Using the elevated interstate as the framework for this series, Warwick captures the shadows they cast over this African American neighborhood, affecting people’s lives and revealing how it all unfolded in Baton Rouge.
Warwick holds a master’s degree in fine arts in photography from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Born in Great Britain and raised in Canada, she is an associate professor of art and photography at LSU.
Mike Smith (BFA Photography) bought his first camera in Vietnam while serving in the US army. A friend showed him a photograph they’d taken of a parrot, and almost immediately, he sought out the same apparatus. From then on, he took a camera wherever he moved, and studied for a BFA and MFA in the practise. In the early 80s, Mike landed a job at Eastern Tennessee State University teaching photography. In the years since, his work documenting this region, and the quiet, often traditional community ensconced in the mountains of Southern Appalachia, has won plaudits for its depth and sensitivity. His prints now hang in the Whitney, the MET and MoMA.
But in the late 1970s, however, Mike was in Boston, where he’d grown up and was working as a messenger to supplement his studies at Massachusetts College of Art. The role made him privy to all corners of the city, and he captured those he encountered as he moved through it. Almost half a century on, he’s publishing a selection of the work taken during this period, entitled Streets of Boston.
