SALLY MANN – REMEMBERED LIGHT & LANDSCAPES

Posted on 2019-10-28

Though her subject matter has varied over the years, Mann’s work consistently retains a fascination with both material and symbolic notions of place, in particular the American South.

From the late 1990s into the 2000s, Mann honed in on her relationship with the southern landscape by taking photographs in Mississippi and Louisiana for her Deep South series (2005), as well as Civil War battlefields for Last Measure (2000). Georgia and Deep South – on view at Jackson Fine Art – hail from this period and explore what Mann has called the “corner posts of my conscious being: memory, loss, time, and love…the stage on which these are played out is always the Southern landscape; terrible in its beauty, in its indifference.”

SHUTTER SPEED

Posted on 2019-10-28

Comprising more than 60 works on paper from the AMAM collection, Shutter Speed explores the ability of photography to capture movement, particularly of the human body. The exhibition spans the history of photography, from the late 19th century to the end of the 20th, stretching from Eadweard Muybridge’s attempts to arrest motion with the camera shutter to Harold Edgerton’s experiments with the stroboscope, and on to Sarah Charlesworth’s appropriated images of falling subjects.

Exhibition runs through to December 15th, 2019
