New York : Shimon Attie, Facts on the Ground

Preview

For his current exhibition at Jack Shainman Gallery, Shimon Attie presents a moving series of photographs captured across Israel and Palestine. In 2013, Attie traveled throughout these two countries and staged site-specific installations consisting of custom made light boxes with illuminated texts. The series builds on the artist’s ongoing investigation into the relationships between place, memory and identity. In this particular work, Attie explored the psychological, cultural and political imperatives underlying the region’s conflict. Often drawing attention to the histories of marginalized communities, Attie seeks to give visual form to both personal and collective memories. His practice often involves public installation and accompanying photography, as well as new media and video works that resist interpretation, raising questions and encouraging reflection on issues of history and memory, loss and trauma.

The exhibition is also be accompanied by a monograph from Nazraeli.
