Fine Art Photography
The camera has been an integral part of my life journey in America and Europe for more than 30 years. As an artist and anthropologist, I have searched for authentic human character and real moments in time.
My images provide a native's view of some of the most unique cultural milieus and events of our time, including: The Civil Rights Movements in the South, early performance artists and Greenwisch Village luminaries in New York City, daily life in a black coastal Carolina community, cultural diversity and activism in San Francisco, Mid Century Modern Architecture in Palm Springs, Berlin's new architecture and art scene and surreal landscapes from the lush Carolina Lowcountry to the rugged boulders of Joshua Tree.
"African American Life on the Gullah/Geechee Coast: Photographs by Greg Day 1970 - 1977" is at the Fowler Museum, UCLA, September 20, 2009 - January 3, 2010. I will conduct a lecture tour of the exhibit at 6 PM, on Thursday, October 29, 2009.
These images will travel, as part of the "Grass Roots" exhibit of the Museum For African Art, to the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. and the Museum for African Art, New York in 2010 - 2011.
My photographs have been exhibited and published widely in Europe and America. Exhibition venues include: The National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, The Akademie der Kunste and the Schwules Museum, Berlin, the Centre d'Art Contemporain, Geneva, the Fowler Museum, Los Angeles, and the High Museum of Art, Atlanta.
My photographic prints are in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., and the Schwules Museum, Berlin.
