Carrie Mae Weems
In the Halls of Justice

2004

About the Item

Carrie Mae Weems In the Halls of Justice Edition 3/25 Limited edition Signature Signed, verso Steeped in African American history, Carrie Mae Weems makes alternately searing and tender photographs and videos that explore race, family, class, and gender identity. The artist, who has also worked in verse and performance, embraces activism throughout all her work—in particular, she looks to history in order to better understand the present. In the early 1990s, Weems rose to prominence with her beloved “Kitchen Table” series: intimate black-and-white photographs that undermine tropes of African American life and womanhood as they depict the artist seated at her kitchen table alone or alongside various other characters. Over the course of her career, Weems has received countless honors, including the Prix de Roma, the National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship, and the MacArthur “Genius Grant.” In 2014, she became the first Black woman to mount a retrospective at the Guggenheim, and her work can be found in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate Modern, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Crossing Paris
By Sarah Hadley
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This image is printed in an edition of 7, but comes in larger and smaller sizes. Each photograph is hand printed on Canson Baryta Paper and is signed and editioned by the artist. The image has been shown in galleries in Paris and Los Angeles and several copies are owned by collectors worldwide. Statement This image of Crossing Paris is from Sarah Hadley's series Story Lines, which explores the female interior landscape. The series was inspired by the French New Wave films of the 60’s, which were shot in black and white on the street and which often portrayed the subconscious thoughts and feelings of ordinary women. These photo collages pay homage to the surrealists who first employed the technique of conjoining unrelated images to create startling and thought-provoking connections. Using backdrops...
