Alice Hargrave’s above works comprise one part of her three-part collection at
the Museum of Contemporary Photography. Working with old family photographs and
videos, some her own and some found or donated, Hargrave “rephotographed
photos,” or scanned the film onto her computer, grabbed frames from the film,
and printed out the undoctored images, looking at the inherent process of
disintegration. Her work ties together the body, nature, and our links to the
organic world. Previously, Hargrave has used technologies such as ultrasounds
and brain scans to create portraits of her family, demonstrating the ultimate
way of visualizing the body in the 21st century.
Now a professor at Columbia College Chicago and the School of the Art Institute,
Hargrave received her BA from Tulane University and her MFA (1994) from the
University of Illinois, Chicago. Also a participant in several group showings,
Hargrave has also had one-person exhibitions at the Isis Gallery, Notre Dame
University; the Chicago Cultural Center; and the TBA Exhibition Space, Chicago.
She was recently an Illinois Art Council Finalist Award recipient in
photography.
