Jill Frank is an Atlanta-based artist and educator who works primarily in photography and video to explore the ideologies and aesthetics that shape teenage life. Her large-scale photographs and sound/video installations reveal the struggle to present one’s identity within unstable environmental, political and social contexts. Diverging from traditional documentary forms, Frank uses sound, scale, repetition and staging to memorialize everyday social events.

Frank attended Bard College and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been reviewed in Art Forum, Art in America and The Paris Review. Solo shows include the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and the Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia.

Jan Rattia is a Venezuelan-American artist and educator working across photography, installation, artist books, and text. Drawing from histories of diaspora, inheritance, and movement, his work reconsiders figure and landscape through fragmentation, atmosphere, and relation. The family album becomes a site of reclamation, with the body held against the limits of belonging. He uses sequence, scale, and spatial arrangement to examine how photographs accrue meaning through context and encounter.

Born in Caracas, Rattia lived in Atlanta after college, later spending many years in New York before returning to Atlanta to join the faculty at Georgia State University. He earned his MFA in Photography from Pratt Institute following graduate studies at ICP–Bard and has taught photography at Pratt and in other programs across the Northeast. Rattia has presented solo exhibitions at galleries and institutions in New York, Houston, and Philadelphia. He is a former Studio Artist at Atlanta Contemporary and a fellowship recipient from Houston Center for Photography.
