Laney Contemporary Two Photography Exhibitions

 Opening Friday, Feb. 10 6-8pm

Christy Bush

Artist Talk / Book Signing: February 11, 11:30 - 1pm

Laney Contemporary is pleased to present a selection of photographs by Christy Bush, organized by Jackson Fine Art in Atlanta. "A rebellious punk rock kid from Atlanta, Bush moved to Athens, GA in the early '90s and fell in with a well-known group of creatives and musicians.” The South serves as a backdrop for the majority of Bush’s work and a deep source of inspiration. Her photographs, spanning decades, traverse photographic genres with ease, serving as a process of remembering through intimate connection with her subjects and surroundings. Bush employs a direct style of portraiture that allows her to limn her memories and explore her personal relationships and past experiences through her subject matter. Full press release HERE

Tabitha Soran

Laney Contemporary is pleased to present Relief, a selection of works by California-based artist Tabitha Soren, organized by Jackson Fine Art in Atlanta. A visual artist in different domains for over twenty-five years, Soren has long explored the intersection of psychology, culture, politics, and the body. A former reporter for MTV News, ABC News, and NBC News, Soren begins each new series using the methodical investigative tools she used during her time in journalism. Books, research studies, and statistics lay a necessary analytical foundation for the visual ideas she communicates. These data points then merge with her experiences growing up in a military family, spending her youth moving around the world and adjusting to cultural differences, social structures, and visual cues that came with each relocation. A through-line connects the three bodies of work, evoking the universal paranoia and contemplation of our historical moment. Full press release HERE

Photography's Last Century: The Ann Tenenbaum and Thomas H. Lee Collection

February 17 – May 21, 2023
Jepson Center

This exhibition will celebrate the remarkable ascendancy of photography in the last century through the extraordinary collecting achievements of Ann Tenenbaum and Thomas H. Lee. Their passion for art was inspired and encouraged by the collecting of Ms. Tenenbaum’s late parents, Lorlee and Arnold Tenenbaum, who were champions of Telfair Museums and cultural leaders across the Savannah community. Come see more than 80 masterpiece photographs by some of the medium’s greatest practitioners, including works by Alfred Stieglitz, Walker Evans, and Helen Levitt; Edward Weston, William Eggleston, and Diane Arbus; Andy Warhol, Cindy Sherman, Mickalene Thomas, and Gregory Crewdson. This selection is particularly notable for its breadth and depth of works by women artists, its sustained interest in the nude, and its focus on artists’ beginnings. Through iconic images and rare, experimental works, the exhibition demonstrates the many expressive directions and ever-widening possibilities within this beautiful and accessible medium.

Photography’s Last Century was organized by the collectors and Jeffrey L. Rosenheim, the Joyce Frank Menschel Curator in Charge of the Department of Photographs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY. Telfair extends thanks to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and its staff, and to the collectors, for enabling this presentation of the exhibition. Photography’s Last Century is a companion to Telfair’s exhibition Bold Expressions: The Collection of Lorlee and Arnold Tenenbaum.

Hassan Hajjaj

---

Hassan Hajjaj (b. 1961, Larache, Morocco) creates vibrant, boldly patterned portraits of friends, colleagues, celebrities, and members of his community that express evolving notions of self and society in today's globalized, connected world. The artist captures his subjects in ad hoc studios set up on the street, further contributing to the works' international blend of music, fashion, and popular culture. Inspired by street style and hip hop, Hajjaj draws influence from African photographers including Sanlé Sory (b. 1943, Nianiagara, Burkina Faso), Samuel Fosso (b. 1962, Kumba, Cameroon), and Malick Sidibé (b. 1936, Soloba, Mali; d. 2016, Bamako, Mali). From these historically significant artists, Hajjaj absorbed the idea of studio portraiture as a malleable vehicle for identity definition. In his own works, he reshuffles cultural signifiers to portray a world in which individuals draw from diverse international sources to define who they are. The artist came of age in London in the 1980s and '90s, and his own contributions to the city's nightlife and street style are reflected in the cultural mission of his photographs. As the artist explains, "In the '80s, London was just starting to blend. We all came from different backgrounds. We had to create something to find our space." Hajjaj achieves this spirit of cultural comingling and co-creation in his images through blending, juxtaposing, and mirroring traditional Moroccan patterns with contemporary signifiers of global style and consumption.

Hajjaj has presented his work internationally in group and solo exhibitions at Barakat Contemporary, Seoul; Fotografiska, Stockholm; Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi; Somerset House, London; British Museum, London; and Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others. His work is held in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Victoria and Albert Museum, and others.

In 2001, Leung exhibited in Hong Kong's first pavilion at the Venice Biennale. He has presented work at EVA International—Ireland Biennial in Limerick and the Thailand Biennale, as well as solo exhibitions at Rokeby, London, and Blindspot Gallery, Hong Kong. Leung is an associate professor in the School of Creative Media at the City University of Hong Kong.
