About the Exhibition
Chester Fields is a professionally juried photography exhibition for high school students. Initiated in 2009 and named for The Polygon Gallery’s former home at 333 Chesterfield Avenue, the programme proposes a theme for artists to respond to through an original work of photographic art. This year’s prompt was inspired by the myth-making present in Martine Gutierrez’s ANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS, currently on view at The Polygon alongside new, richly storied work by Tau Lewis. The 2024 Chester Fields theme challenged young artists to choose a phrase or sentence from a significant folktale, myth, legend, or other cultural text, and to make an image based on these words.
