Opening reception for the artist, Thursday, April 22, 6 – 8 pm
Jack Shainman Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Slow Fade to Black, Carrie Mae Weems’s second solo exhibition at the gallery.
Never one to rest on her laurels, Weems is back with yet another critical take on the historical drama. Tongue-in-cheek, she presents the burning saga of Mandingo, love, longing and the relations of power, miscegenation, and masochism simmering in the Ole South. With Dixie Burning in her heart and the narrative drive pounding away, she returns to the stories of yesteryear. This time with paintings made in China, videos made in Georgia and photographs, picturing contemporary black women, made in New York. Weems opens and finally closes the door on the past as she imagines the future.
