Now on display! Personal Effects at the Kemper


      Mike Sinclair's photo “Anne's Wedding” shows a backyard party, one with simple conversations and plenty of soda cans. A closer look at the image triggers questions: Did Anne settle for a picnic reception? Does the unknown Heineken drinker have a secret connection with the woman at the table? And what do the suburban neighbors think? The questions that we ask ourselves as we view this photo along with others, are what makes art interesting. One of the reasons photographs are so effective as art are these intrigues. The fascination and wonder about a captured moment, leaves us as voyeur and inspector. Mike Sinclair is one of the artists featured in the Gladstone Community Center's Permanent Art Collection, and his photo is part of the
Personal Effects exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. See it and the rest of the evocative show that runs through October 12. It's a great one! You can visit this link for more details: Personal Effects
