SUMMARY:Brea Souders: Vistas - Opening Reception and Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bruce Silverstein Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Brooklyn-based artist Brea Souders\, titled Vistas. \nVistas is a series of hand-colored photographs that present disembodied shadows of human beings found in national parks throughout the American West. While researching Google Photo Sphere images of the parks\, the artist observed that the algorithm removed people from its shared photos\, seemingly for privacy reasons\, but left behind their distorted and artifacted shadows. The shadows are shown just as the artist found them\, the result of the west’s radiant sun and algorithmic interventions. The original photographs were made deep in nature\, by individuals who trekked to areas where roads or trails don’t exist. \nReferencing early twentieth-century picture postcards of the American West\, the hand-colored prints of Vistas recall bygone methods that were used to romanticize interactions with the natural world. Today\, most armchair travel is filtered through the internet. We regularly see shadow selfies in landscapes in our social media feeds\, echoing previous moments through photographic history. Vistas was made at a time when climate change is already altering the national parks and conservation efforts will need to be modified to adapt to profound change. Commenting in Lensculture\, Gregory Eddi Jones said\, “Our growing dependence and assimilation into virtual space brings us further from the natural world\, turning Vistas into a tug-of-war between what we once were as humans\, and what we are now. Photography has changed us\, the internet is changing us. And Souders’ work helps to illustrate just how so.” \nThe viewer’s placement in relation to these scenes suggests a witnessing of their own selves\, transmuted into archetypal forms populating the land. Traces of wanderers\, cowboys\, adventurers and earth goddesses can be imagined in the shadows imprinted in the land. In Vistas\, many of the shadows appear to have feminine forms. Though photography of the American West has long been thought to be the domain of men\, here we see evidence of women trekking into the wild\, documenting and mapping it. \nThese works enter into the long traditions of American landscape photography. The series poses a plurality of questions centering on how our relationship to nature has evolved and is changing\, how our virtually mediated world is affecting human behavior\, and the roles that photography plays in ecology\, mapping\, tourism\, sublimity and representation of the self. As we witness accelerating effects of our global climate crisis\, and as modern living continually brings us further from our origins\, Vistas explores what the landscape means to us now. \nThe exhibition features a large installation of hand-colored photographs\, as well as several large-format\, hand-colored works. In addition to the hand-colored pieces\, a small selection of black-and-white images is shown\, gathering together found shadows of hands holding phones in the Western landscape. \nConcurrent with the opening of the exhibition\, a monograph of Souders’ work spanning eleven years will be published and available by Saint Lucy Books. A book signing with the artist will take place before the opening reception on July 15th from 4-6pm. The reception will take place from 6-8pm. The gallery will be open to the public Monday-Friday\, 10am-6pm\, for the duration of the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Brâncuşi’s Flowers
DESCRIPTION:Bruce Silverstein Gallery is pleased to announce Brâncuşi’s Flowers\, organized in collaboration with Kasmin. The exhibition will be on view at 529 West 20th Street between May 16 – June 28\, 2019\, and presented concurrently with Brâncuşi: The Photographer at Kasmin\, on view at 293 Tenth Avenue. \nBrâncuşi’s Flowers offers an unprecedented opportunity to view seven of the sixteen known images on the subject matter\, each photographed and printed by the artist in his darkroom in the 1920s and 1930s.  These still life photographs depicting “nature’s readymades” served dual purposes for the artist.  Firstly\, they were created as gifts for friends and lovers as lasting objects of his affection\, rather than the gifting flowers destined for decay.  Secondly\, they were a further extension of Brancusi’s explorations into photography\, fixing flora and fauna at the pinnacle of their sculptural beauty. \nConstantin Brâncuşi’s photographs evolved\, as did the artist’s sculptural practice\, moving rapidly from early straight images documenting the artist’s interest in realism\, to more interpretative representations featuring modernist masterworks such as Sleeping Muse\, Eve\, and the iconic Bird in Space.  It was within these later works\, starting around 1917\, where the artist focused on those more ephemeral elements — those that could not be “made permanent” without the camera — such as light\, shadow\, reflection\, and particularly in his studio views\, special orientation and negative space. Photographing flowers was a natural extension for the artist\, as with his camera he was able to capture these forms in a state of natural flux\, transforming them into sculptural objects frozen in a state of perpetual life. \nBrâncuşi’s Flowers marks the third exhibition at Bruce Silverstein to feature Brâncuşi’s photographs.
