This exhibition spotlights evolving attitudes toward the appropriation, recuperation, and repurposing of extant photographic imagery. Artists, as both producers and consumers in today’s vast image economy, freely adopt and adapt materials from myriad sources. Images culled from the Internet, magazines, newspapers, advertisements, television, films, personal and public archives, studio walls, and from other works of art are all fair game. Image Transfer brings together artists who divert commonplace, even ubiquitous, visual materials into new territories of formal and idiomatic expression.

The tour of Image Transfer: Pictures in a Remix Culture includes Richard E. Peeler Art Center, DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana (February 22–May 6, 2011), Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture, Baltimore, Maryland (October 6–December 10, 2011), Newcomb Art Gallery, Tulane University (August 15–October 14, 2012), and Salina Art Center, Salina, Kansas (November 9, 2012–January 18, 2013).
