GROUP EXHIBITION
Reading Between the Lines, Tracey Morgan Gallery, Asheville, NC.
January 7 - February 19, 2022.
Employing a variety of media, the artists included in this exhibition all utilize either books or text in their work or present imagery whose meaning is in some way obfuscated. While words have the power to incite emotion, illicit humor, demand action, or endear, they often don’t mean the same thing to everyone, even when we share the same language. Cultural references can be missed or misunderstood, or intent mistaken. In this show the viewer is tasked with interpretation, unearthing meanings that may not appear immediately on the surface. How do we “read” an artwork that can quite literally be read?

NOME was founded in 2015 to support and disseminate the work of artists grappling with the pressing social, political, and cultural issues of our times. Their practices—often driven by conceptual, documentary, and investigative approaches—shed new light on our reality.

Commissioned by Topic.com as part of their Federal Project No. 2 series, Our Roots Run Deep examines how chemical companies curate their image and deliberately conceal their past. Using Roy Stryker’s depression-era hole-punched negatives as a compositional tool, the project repurposes historical and contemporary photographs, and employs circle interventions to collapse the distance between past and present.
