Mitch Epstein

Psychogram of a Nation

September 19, 2020 - October 31, 2020

Throughout his four decade career, Mitch Epstein has examined the cultural psychology of the United States, revealing America as both a place and an idea. From his early pioneering color photographs of American life in the seventies and eighties, to his recent series focusing on the confluence of nature and human society, Epstein has consistently created formally and conceptually complex images resulting from a highly sophisticated and nuanced approach to photography.

In parallel with our participation in Art Basel OVR:2020, we’re pleased to present a selection of iconic images from four of Epstein’s major color series: Property Rights (2019), American Power (2009), Family Business (2003) and Recreation: American Photographs (1973 - 1988).

Reverberation

Sharon Core, Jitka Hanzlová, Ori Gersht, and Hellen Van Meene July 13 - August 21, 2020 Since ancient times, through the Renaissance and up to the present day, artists have recontextualized the ideas, images and styles of their predecessors. In our online exhibition Reverberation, the work of Sharon Core, Ori Gersht, Jitka Hanzlova and Hellen Van Meene raises questions about influence, appropriation, originality and authorship. Utilizing a variety of approaches, each artist draws upon the work of recognized painters to produce photographs that destabilize the distinction between painting and photography and blur the boundary between past and present. All four artists bring the present into contact with the past to create what Walter Benjamin described as “dialectical images”, in which the relationship of past to present is not one of linear time, but of constant negotiation.
