A Fervent and Necessary Arrangement - Midwest Nice Art
I was really excited when I saw the call for a fervent and necessary arrangement from Midwest Nice Art. This collective is located in Aberdeen, South Dakota – just a few hours from where I grew up in Brookings, South Dakota. How wonderful to see contemporary photography being promoted from my home state! I also love how inventive this call is, using a line from a Mary Oliver poem. A huge thank you to curator André Ramos-Woodard for including my video piece Murmurations. This is the first time I’ve submitted one of my video pieces to an open call, so it’s such an honor to be included. When I saw the theme, I thought instantly of this piece, since as I was shooting it, I felt the orbs were little souls being ferried to the beyond.Please click the link in my bio to see the rest of the wonderful work included in the show.Here is an excerpt from the poem:
Sometimes
Mary Oliver
Something came up
out of the dark.
It wasn’t anything I had ever seen before.
It wasn’t an animal
or a flower,
unless it was both.
Something came up out of the water,
a head the size of a cat
but muddy and without ears.
I don’t know what God is.
I don’t know what death is.
But I believe they have between them
some fervent and necessary arrangement.

Exhibition Curation for Duluth Art Institute
I really enjoyed curating this show of student work from the University of Minnesota Duluth, presented at the Duluth Art Institute. I was truly impressed by the caliber of the work and loved the challenge of bringing the student pieces together under the theme I chose (Within // Without). Huge thanks to professors Gloria Bush and Kristen Pless for the opportunity. I had a fantastic time working with Madeline Kayser to bring this show together!
You can view the exhibition through the Bloomberg Connects app. There’s both a digital and an analog component. Just scan the QR code in the image below to check out both exhibitions.

Your Daily Photograph // New Pictorialists
I'm honored to be included in the NEW PICTORIALISTS curated by Art critic Shana Nys Dambrot and photographer Osceola Refetoff's live on Your Daily Photograph today. This is what Shana Nys Dambrot had to say:
"Gina Cholick is today's entry in YourDailyPhotograph.com's NEW PICTORIALISTS. While Osceola Refetoff and I had a certain landscape and architecture focus in this curation project, there's something deeply compelling about lavishing hand-made attentions on photographic images of the human form. This poetic study could easily be "New Classical" as well as pictorialist. Something about the optical texture makes me think I can feel the quality of the skin, as well as the light and the atmosphere. Wonderful. And don't forget, these offerings are one day only, so make your move."
