A new exhibition of the work of British photographer Jem Southam · Apr 11, 01:13 PM
A new exhibition of the work of British photographer Jem Southam is on display at the Robert Mann Gallery until May 10, 2008. The gallery is located at 210 Eleventh Avenue (Baron Building), 10th Floor, between 24th and 25th Streets in Chelsea, NYC.
In 2005 PA PRESS published Jem Southam’s Landscape Stories, the first comprehensive collection of Southam’s work, drawn from three completed series: The Pond at Upton Pyne, The Red River, and Rockfalls, Rivermouths, and Ponds. Southam’s brief narratives about each site–together with essays by Gerry Badger and Andy Grundberg, create a rich context for viewing these remarkable, large-format photographs.
Readymade says:
“Shot over several years in rural Britain, Southam’s monograph is divided into categories like river mouths, ponds, and meadows. Most captivating are shots of the same landscape taken throughout the year, allowing us to observe what is typically obscured by time: the widening of a grassy circle of frost, the jutting cliff that tumbles into rocky piles.”
