Current Exhibitions
Featuring work by both American and European
photographers, this exhibition offers a broad historical overview of 20th
century photography and represents a wide range of styles - from Edward Weston's
carefully composed still-lifes and landscapes to Weegee's sometimes comic, often
tragic images of life on the streets of Wachovia Securities (formerly A.G. Edwards), began building its corporate art collection in 1967. Today, the corporate art collection spans more than 200 years and features more than 4,200 works by noted American and European artists. With the notion that artwork ought to be shared and enjoyed, the firm established a traveling exhibition program in 1991 through which branch offices could partner with local arts or cultural institutions in order to share a portion of the corporate collection with their communities. Since the program's inception, Wachovia Securities branches have collaborated with more than eighty institutions across the country to sponsor various exhibitions.

This exhibition of film and video art brings together rarely seen local, national and international work on the topic of contemporary motherhood. Films and videos by artists including Israeli Maya Zack, and American Sherry Millner, break through the cultural myth of the complacent status of the mother. Employing humor, irony, and deadpan seriousness, the artists rethink the role of the mother and the meaning of the maternal through diverse and debated themes, including work, mother-child relationships, and the often devalued work of motherhood. The artists represented in Reel Mothers: Film, Video Art and the Maternal radically reinterpret the maternal through vital forms of social, political and artistic address.
