THE SPACE BETWEEN

Posted on 2020-08-24

The Space Between brings together photographs from two separate bodies of work: one by Kris Sanford who uses art to explore an imagined queer history, and the other a collaboration of poetry and images that reveals Petal, a persona whom Philip Matthews manifests to write and David Johnson photographs. With time, we have come to see and understand the world and its history through a select set of lenses. How do we begin to shift this view and see in new ways? This exhibition seeks to provide the space to engage in critical conversations about identity, sexuality, and relationships. The juxtaposition of three artists’ work in one place, for the first time, as the inspiration.

Opposite – David Johnson, Grandmother’s Trees (N.C. 036), 2015

Exhibition runs through to September 23rd, 2020

TUCK FAUNTLEROY – ELEMENTS

Posted on 2020-08-24

Photographer Tuck Fauntleroy captures the change of season in minimal and abstracted aerial photographs of rivers as they emerge from snow. Fauntleroy’s simple black and white rivers extend beyond the photographic frame leaving the viewer with a sense of continuation. The series Waterline is the culmination of ten years of mapping, flying, and exploring the ever-changing paths of isolated rivers throughout the west at the cusp of spring. Fauntleroy’s work is grounded in a sense of water, movement, positive and negative space, and impeccable timing. Noting the transitional progressions in remote locations, Fauntleroy expresses a deeply human desire to capture and chase the ephemerality of seasons and time.

Opposite – Elements VIII, 2017-2019

Exhibition runs through to September 14th, 2020

MICHAEL KOERNER HIBAKUSHA

Posted on 2020-08-17

On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and another one three days later on Nagasaki, killing tens of thousands instantly, and more than 200,000 people in total. Michael Koerner was born in Okinawa, Japan in 1963, the son of a Japanese mother and American military father. For the past few years, Koerner has been making one-of-a-kind tintypes about his family and the effects of gamma radiation that has taken the lives of all members of his immediate family. In honor of the anniversary of the bombing, Koerner created Hibakusha, a photographic series that pays respect to those that passed away and those that survived. Hibakusha is a Japanese word that refers to people affected by the nuclear bombings.

SHEILA PREE BRIGHT – #1960NOW

Posted on 2020-08-17

In Sheila Pree Bright’s 2018 monograph #1960Now: Photographs of Civil Rights Activists and Black Lives Matter Protests, Alicia Garza, founder of the international Black Lives Matter movement, notes: “the Civil Rights Movement was not one period in history, but in fact, several periods.” The movement that has been calcified by popular memory was in fact preceded by, for example, organized sharecroppers in the Jim Crow south, and succeeded by the movements of today and those that will come tomorrow. In the spirit of contemplation of this lineage, Jackson Fine Art is honored to exhibit Steve Schapiro’s civil rights photographs from the 2019 Taschen publication of The Fire Next Time, an illustrated volume of James Baldwin’s classic text, alongside Sheila Pree Bright’s photographs from #1960Now. Also on view will be Bright’s #1960Now: Art and Intersections, a short film depicting intergenerational correlations between critical thinkers noted in history and the emerging new leaders around the nation.
