In a world where the photograph has become perhaps the most ubiquitous and democratic artistic medium, ingenuity of concept and technique tends to stand out. This week, SUNY Brockport will debut an impressive new show entitled "Regarding Place: Photo Media Invitational," with images by nationally respected artists Pinky Bass, Angela Kelly, Molly Landreth, and Suzanne E. Szucs.

The show features four bodies of work that explore the photographic through the use of traditional, alternative, digital, video, audio, books, and online communities, per the press release. Included will be Bass's "Contemplating My Internal Organs and Zodiac Perceptions," Kelly's "Catharsis: Images of Post-Conflict Belfast," Landreth's "Embodiment: A Portrait of Queer Life in America," and Szucs's "Breathing in Place" and "Sketch 4 I.D." series.

"This exhibit highlights the diversity of media and messages communicated through photo-based arts," says the show's curator, Kitty Hubbard, associate professor of art at Brockport, who has planned additional programming which will include lectures, Skype chats with artists, and workshops that will continue throughout the semester.

The exhibit will be on view at the Tower Fine Arts Center Gallery (180 Holley St. in Brockport) through February 19. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday 1-4 p.m. For more information, call 395-2805 or visit Brockport.edu
