About

Joseph D. Jachna: Surface Contradictions 1958-1971 was Jachna's second solo exhibition at Stephen Daiter Gallery. Initially intended to be a career retrospective, the exhibition narrowed in focus upon their discovery of several boxes that held a wealth of previously unseen photographs dating from the artist's graduate school days at the Institute of Design, Chicago. The gallery was stunned by both the breadth and quality of this early work. The catalogue, introduced by Agatha Cancellieri provides the fresh insight of an informed "outsider" who has made the photographers of the I.D. her focus of study.
