Atlanta, GA
Andrew Feiler is a fifth generation Georgian. Having grown up Jewish in Savannah, he and his art have been shaped by the rich complexities of the American South, and of being a minority in the South: history and culture, geography and race, tradition and conflict, injustice and progress.
Andrew’s first book of photography, “Without Regard to Sex, Race or Color,” was recently published by The University of Georgia Press. Its focus is the now quiet campus of Morris Brown College, a historically black college founded by African Americans in 1881, but which lost its accreditation to financial pressures and scandal in 2003. Today its campus is largely abandoned. This body of artistic documentary photography offers a new way into the debate raging in our society about the essential role education has played as the foundation of the American dream.
Feiler's photographs have been featured in numerous magazines, newspapers and on NPR. His work has been displayed in galleries and museums including solo shows at Atlanta University Center, the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum in Savannah, the University of Pennsylvania, the Southeast Center for Photography in Greenville, and the Dillard University Art Gallery in New Orleans. His work is in a number of public and private collections including that of Atlanta University Center and Emory University.
