As part of an ongoing commitment to support new photographic talent, the Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP) at Columbia College in Chicago has awarded California College of the Arts MFA candidate Trent Davis Bailey with the 2015 Snider Prize. This annual purchase award, sponsored by Lawrence K. and Maxine Snider, is given to emerging artists as they leave graduate school. Bailey, who uses photography to piece together a map of his experience of The North Fork – a Colorado valley whose landscape and inhabitants inspire him to explore a complex terrain of memory and family, will continue this work over the summer during a a six month Artist-in-Residence at Elsewhere Studios in Paonia, Colorado.
Israeli artist Tal Barel, an M.F.A candidate in fine arts at Pratt Institute, and Canadian Rachelle Bussières, an MFA candidate at the San Francisco Art Institute, were both awarded honorable mentions. Bailey will receive $2000, and Barel and Bussières will each receive $500 for the purchase of work to be added to MoCP’s permanent collection.
