JULIE BLACKMON – FAKE WEATHER

Posted on 2017-11-27

Blackmon’s pictures, said the Los Angeles Times, are “absorbing, meticulously orchestrated slices of ethnographic theater … that abound with tender humor but also shrewdly subtle satire.” Her themes have focused on the social, cultural and familial, but the tumultuous political landscape of the United States and world have challenged Blackmon to turn her eye to the political world for the first time, and the results make an impact.

“When I began taking pictures,” Blackmon says, “ I was primarily interested in documenting the lives of my five sisters and myself as we raised families in the Ozarks in the 21st century. My goal was to capture the mythical in the ordinary, and I gradually began introducing narrative strands into the photos, hoping to create visual fables that reflected deeper truths. I wanted to explore and critique the way we live today, so there have always been snakes lurking in the backyard gardens of my imagination—someone once told me that my work was one part Norman Rockwell and one part Norman Bates.”

Exhibition runs through to December 2nd, 2017

JORINDE VOIGT – HILLS AND TURNS

Posted on 2017-11-27

Jorinde Voigt’s solo exhibition “Hills and Turns” presents a selection of new works on paper whose common element is the hill shape. The works 45 Hills and 40 Hills (Vertical Turn), the eight-part series Yellow Hills, and the ten-part series The Scope (all 2017) are on display in a colorful architecture custom built for the show. Voigt’s hills are a reference to an archetypical way to represent an event. The suspense curve, originally a diagram, traces the dramaturgical arc of an action. This inserts a temporal dimension into the picture, making it legible from left to right. In the various works and series, individual events generated by a structure of repetition and variation form entire event landscapes rendered as hill sceneries (The Scope). In the overarching compositional ensemble, the hill thus emerges as both the prominent element and what obscures other elements.

Opposite – The Scope I, 2017

Exhibition runs through to January 7th, 2018
