Art Out: Rosalind Fox Solomon, Gerard Dalla Santa
Rosalind Fox Solomon Georgia, 1976
Rosalind Fox Solomon: The Forgotten
Foley Gallery | October 28 to December 5, 2021
Photographer Rosalind Fox Solomon. The Forgotten draws from her extensive portfolio of work from 1976 – 2019. The show will coincide with the release of her MACK book, The Forgotten. Signed copies of the book will be available during the reception.
Pictures from The Forgotten introduce us to people who are chained to events in history that have permanently affected how they live. These events can never be forgotten. They often register on the body. They act as a reminder of incidents that others would like to forget.
Each Fox Solomon photograph is a story of a life waiting to be discovered. Wherever she finds herself in the world, she finds individuals willing to share themselves with the camera, and ultimately to us. What allows us to look deeply into Fox Solomon's photographs is her compassionate point of view on subjects that might typically persuade us to look away, trying to forget what's right before our eyes.

GERARD DALLA SANTA Des Paysages Longtemps
Galerie Miranda | CLOSING October 30, 2021
For its fall 2021 exhibition, Galerie Miranda is delighted to present a personal exhibition by Gérard Dalla Santa (b. 1947, France). Entitled Des Paysages Longtemps, the exhibition takes its name from a short poem by Rainer Maria Rilke.
The photographs presented in this solo show proceed from Gérard Dalla Santa's research into landscape that is anchored in two traditions: that of documentary photography and that of outdoor landscape painting (Corot, Courbet, Pissarro and Cézanne…) that considered the topography as well as the historical and collective dimension of landscape. Temporal markers punctuate the work of Gérard Dalla Santa, who captures, in the present tense of photography, the intersection between the time of landscape and the time of its representation. In his recent landscapes of river banks, the artist employs the picturesque and the banal to reveal a newfound lyricism, allowing living beings - human and animal - to enter the field on equal terms with nature.
