For the past eighteen years, Richard McMahan has been creating his own
personal museum collection featuring miniature replicas of the world’s
greatest works of art. This Florida savant has an exceptional talent for
producing tiny images representing famous and not so famous art in museum
collections such as the Hermitage, the Prado, the Louvre, the Metropolitan,
and the Museum of Modern Art. McMahan began his collection by working from
photographs he found in over one hundred years of National Geographic
Magazines.

Calin Dan’s work consists of interwoven video, photography, and performance. Included in this exhibition are works from the Emotional Architecture series: sony/wmf/pp (1994-2003), Sample City (2005), Trip (2006), and the new work inspired by Charleston. This material is a haunting juxtaposition of our current environment with documentary images from the 1886 earthquake, drawn from the holdings of the South Carolinian Library at the University of South Carolina.
