Based out of Arizona, the photographer\u2019s work uses different landscapes and focuses on infrastructure, culture, and experimentation with color. Kiefer is very well known for his amazing work documenting the American backdrop. In 2015, he was named one of the top 50 emerging photographers, according to LenCulture.<\/p>\n<p>Chapman\u2019s Escalette Collection is honored to display Tom Kiefer\u2019s work in our new exhibition,\u201cThe Border: An Interdisciplinary Examination.\u201d This exhibition observes the discussion around borders from the perspective of the university. This exhibition will take place from May 2 to November 18, 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit will display two of Kiefer\u2019s works from his series <em>El Sue\u00f1o Americano<\/em>\u00a0(<em>The American Dream<\/em>). This series is an on-going body of work that came from Kiefer\u2019s own experience as a janitor. Kiefer needed an income to support his career as a photographer, and so between 2003 and 2014, he worked as a custodian for the United States Customs and Border Patrol.\u00a0During this time, he took photographs of confiscated items belonging to individuals who crossed the border. Items that were deemed either non-essential or potentially dangerous were discarded and thrown away by Border Patrol agents. The extended photographic essay includes over 100 photographs that document confiscated personal belongings.\u00a0Kiefer was curious and disheartened from the things he would find searching through the trash. He would find things such as toys, food, clothing, etc. and used these items to construct striking photographs. The photographs in our collection document makeup found at the border.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2987\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"369\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-2.png 1617w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-2-300x131.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-2-1024x447.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-2-768x335.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-2-1536x671.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\">2018.2.1<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\"><em>With Makeup\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\">Archival Pigmented Inkjet Print<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\">The Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Collection of Art<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\">Purchased with Acquisition Funds<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2986\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"374\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-1.png 1617w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-1-300x131.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-1-1024x448.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-1-768x336.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/03\/0-1-1536x673.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\">2018.2.2<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\"><em>Without Makeup<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\">Archival Pigmented Inkjet Print<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\">The Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Collection of Art<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\">Purchased with Acquisition Funds<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>His project expresses the influence that the border has on peoples\u2019 day to day lives.\u00a0The photographs display what migrants choose to bring with them when crossing the border. These everyday items are familiar to all Americans. Kiefer wanted to connect the viewer to those who cross the border.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>\u201cIt was so heartbreaking.

He felt that this part of the immigration experience needed to be recorded. Kiefer tells the New York Times that he wants to document all aspects of American life. By photographing confiscated items at the border, he reveals aspects of suffering as well as hope from the immigrant experience. He brings a new level of humanity to those who cross the U.S. border.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>\u201cI wanted to photograph America.\u201d (Tom Kiefer, New York Times Interview, 2018).<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to learn more about Tom Kiefer&#8217;s work or view a\u00a0three-part video series on\u00a0<em>El Sue\u00f1o Americano<\/em>\u00a0(<em>The American Dream<\/em>), please visit his website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomkiefer.com\">www.tomkiefer.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photographing America<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2767,"featured_media":2987,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4,1],"tags":[632,30,627,633,303,161,199,200,152,9,31,163,49,101,634,635,6,636,631],"class_list":["post-3001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-escalette-permanent-collection-of-art","category-uncategorized","tag-arizona","tag-art","tag-borders","tag-borders-exhibit","tag-chapman","tag-chapman-art","tag-chapman-u","tag-chapman-university","tag-chapman-university-collections","tag-contemporary-art","tag-escalette-collection","tag-escallette-permanent-collection-of-art","tag-events","tag-exhibitions","tag-landscape","tag-photographs","tag-photography","tag-quotes","tag-tom-kiefer"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
