Starting this Friday, the Frist Center will be hosting a photography exhibit called Projected Histories. Although not nearly as big as the Warhol extravaganza, this exhibit will be sure to not disappoint. The artist behind Projected Histories is a Vanderbilt assistant professor by the name of Vesna Pavlovic. Pavlovic teaches photography and digital media classes. After getting her Masters in fine arts degree in visual arts from Columbia University in 2007, Pavlovic has showcased her artork in several different, very prestigious, venus. She has been featured in group exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade, Tennis Palace Art Museum in Helsinki, Carinthian Museum of Modern Art in Klagenfurt, Austria, Photographers' Gallery in London, and FRAC Center for Contemporary Art in France. The most current exhibit of hers, at the Frist here in Nashville, showcases series of "found" slides from the vacations of one family over the years. Mark Scala, chief curator at the Frist Center commented on the exhibit saying that "Vesna Pavlovic shows that photography's apparent truthfulness allos it to both conceal and reveal cultural attitudes." With a statement like that, and the given travel record of her artwork there is no reason why the lines should not be out the door for this exhibit.
