2. Exhibition: The Sorority Girl Project
Friday, January 11 at 7 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art, Gallery 101
The University of Georgia Lamar Dodd School of Art will present an opening reception for an
exhibition by 2012-13 Photography Fellow Kelly Kristin Jones January 11 at 7 PM. Kelly Kristin
Jones is a Chicago-based artist who earned her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
in May of 2012. The exhibition, titled "The Sorority Girl Project," will be in gallery 101 of the school
of art. The reception is free and open to the public. "The Sorority Girl Project" is a new body of
work created by Jones since her arrival at UGA in the fall of 2012. The 12 photos document female
students involved in Greek life on the Athens campus. "The sorority subculture was completely new
to me, and I have found it infinitely interesting," said Jones, who received her master of fine arts in
spring 2012 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. "More than being a critique or
investigation of the Southern college sorority girl, the project is really about the gaze and their
performance for the camera." Jones' exhibition will consist of 30-by-40 inch color pigment prints,
which she describes as a play on formal portraiture.
