About the Item

Rose, 2013 Chromogenic print, ed. 10, 12 x 12 inches image size, 16 x 20 inches paper size, 20 5/8 x 20 5/8 inches framed size. Amy Blakemore’s new photographs depict a variety of scenes the artist observed while traveling through Mexico and her home of Houston, Texas. Ranging from landscapes to portraits to still lifes, the images document situations in which objects have been arranged or placed on display—sometimes carefully, sometimes haphazardly, and sometimes inadvertently. One photograph, for example, shows Retablos posted in a church in Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro, while another shows a potted plant left along a plaza wall. Accordingly, some of Blakemore’s subjects appear tended to, but others seem neglected or forgotten, or at least marked by indeterminate attention. Two other works reveal, respectively, wood boards obstructing—or protecting—paintings of saints, and a swimming pool abandoned mid-cleaning. Blakemore’s images capture moments of accumulated incident and uncertain intention, provoking questions of past decisions and future lives. The unsettled relationship between accident and design in Blakemore’s images is accentuated by her use of idiosyncratic, low-tech, and often unpredictable cameras. The artist took the fifteen new images on view using a 35 mm square-format camera instead of her characteristic Diana cameras. Allowing a more tightly focused and even less self-conscious image, the camera is also not without quirks, which then require additional darkroom manipulation as Blakemore processes each print.

Art Forms in Mechanism XXlll
By Linarejos Moreno
Located in Houston, TX
Linarejos Moreno Art Forms in Mechanism XXlll, 2016 natural pigments print on gessoed burlap 117 x 60 inches “Art Forms in Mechanism” began when artist Linarejos Moreno discovered a collection of 19th century botanical models while researching at the Cabinet of Scientific Curiosities, a Spanish historical archive. Manufactured by a European company that specialized in scientific equipment, the models are made of papier-mâché, gears, clips, hooks, and printed numbers and labels, and they were designed for hands on, practical use. Moreno was initially attracted to the models because, as she notes, “they contained the tension between the industrial and the humanity/fragility that I often research in my work. On the one hand, they were machines, with all their gears, on the other hand, even if they were supposed to be neutral scientific objects...

By Birney Imes
Located in Surfside, FL
BIRNEY IMES, Mississippi, b. 1951 "Riverside Lounge, Shaw, 1986" Dimensions: Chromogenic print, 14" x 16.5" sight. Framed 21" x 25". Birney Imes (born 1951) is an American photographer. He is best known for his photographs of the American South, especially his home state of Mississippi. His work is exhibited in museums across the United States. Birney Imes III was born in 1951 in Columbus, Mississippi. His father, Vinton Birney Imes, Jr., owned the town newspaper, The Commercial Dispatch. His mother is Nancy McClanahan Imes. He attended desegregated public schools in Columbus and graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History in 1973. Growing up white in the South during the Civil Rights Movement helped shape his views on history and that is where his photography career originated from. Imes began photographing after graduation from college and is largely self-taught. In the mid-70s, he worked as a photographer for his family's newspaper in his hometown of Columbus. Later, he opened his own studio above the Princess Theater in Columbus. Along with his personal work, Imes shot commercial work for local clients and took assignments for magazines like Rolling Stone, The Village Voice and Texas Monthly. His work has been printed in both black and white silver gelatin and color photos. Birney Imes’ photography takes viewers inside pool halls, jazz spots, juke joints and dilapidated restaurants scattered across that rural Mississippi landscape. Drawing inspiration from the photographs of other Southern artists...
