MIchelle Stuart “Silent Movies”
Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects
This event has ended.
We announces our next one-person presentation of new works by Michelle Stuart in which she continues to draw upon her lifelong passion for photography. Here Stuart uses the vast archive of analog and digital photographs that she has taken and collected for almost half a century, activating their aesthetic potential by re-contextualizing them in groups, and often altering them to weave personal stories.
Taking a painterly approach, she integrates the individual units into rhythmic narratives. “The effect can be cinematic,” as The New Yorker described, “full of jump cuts, or meditative.” Each work is a unique meditation on the nature of memory, composed of between seven and seventy separate images, digitally printed on 8 ½ x 11 inch sheets of archival paper. The individual panels feature untouched and altered photographs, including appropriated vintage images and her own photographs, combined in a filmic manner. These dreamlike recollections of her past not only continue her life-long artistic engagement with specific locations but affirm the significance of place as a unique source of memory.
