Bio:
Colby Caldwell is an assistant professor of art and teaches photography and digital media at St. Mary's. He graduated with a BFA in photography from the Corcoran School of Art (now College of Art and Design) in 1990. He previously studied 20th century European history at Appalachian State University from 1983-1986. He has taught in both the photography and the fine arts departments at the Corcoran from 1997-2002. He teaches courses in photography and digital art. His work has been exhibited in Madrid, Basel, and New York City, among others. Recent projects include a commission for AT&T Wireless in Los Angeles, Exit 1 in Reston, Va. and a video piece entitled "ordinary eternal machinery" in collaboration with Bernard Welt. He is represented by Hemphill Fine Arts, where he had a solo exhibition small game in January of 2007. His work was included in the 48th Corcoran Biennial, "Closer to Home" , and most recently, "Decelerate" at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City. Caldwell curated a show, "Made History: Soviet WWII Photography" at Boyden Gallery at SMCM, which opened in October of 2006. Caldwell's work in the widest sense, transcends some of the common assumptions of postmodernism by reintegrating the social with the personal and by genuinely exploring and appreciating certain cultural traditions, rather than dismissing them outright.
