Video about EXIT PARADISE –  an exhibition of the artwork of Sherry Wiggins and Luís Filipe Branco

Salome at Sunset Series, still photograph, Sherry Wiggins and Luís Filipe Branco

I am posting the video here that documents my collaborative work with Portuguese photographer Luís Filipe Branco that was in the exhibition Exit Paradise held at Seidel City Contemporary Art Gallery in Boulder, Colorado during Month of Photography in March and April 2023. It was a wonderful exhibit and I was so happy to exhibit Luís and my work alongside the work of fabulous photographers Mark Sink and Kristen Hatgi Sink. Ron Landucci of Infinite Editions produced beautiful prints for us. Terry Seidel was a great host and Seidel City is a fantastic contemporary art space. In this video I explain my intentions and sources for this work about my biblical heroines Eve, Judith (who took the head of Holofernes) and Salome and we also show the works themselves along with installation shots in the galleries. Videographer Robert Kittilä shot and edited this short video for me.

It was so much fun to work with my friend Robert Kittilä to make this video and I am glad to have this document. I have had a difficult summer with some physical problems that I am slowly recovering from. Meanwhile I have been editing and producing more of Luís and my Heroines work and I am looking forward to upcoming exhibits of our work: with a show at Michael Warren Contemporary in Denver opening November 2nd titled “On Sappho, Helen and Aphrodite,” a group show at East Window Gallery in Boulder titled “Aging Bodies, Myths and Heroines” curated by Todd Herman opening November 10th, and another group show that will be opening at BMoCA in January curated by Jane Burke. Hugs to all near and far.
