TINA BARNEY/ SMALL TOWNS
OCTOBER 3 – NOVEMBER 22, 2012
We are pleased to announce SMALL TOWNS, a new exhibition of color photographs by TINA BARNEY.
Tina Barney’s work is immediately recognizable for a certain palette and a certain genuine and unforced interplay among the characters. She is best known for her narrative depiction of family and friends, concentrating on her own summer community, and during her travels to other countries. She is now concentrating on small town America—their events, community projects, pageants, parades, re-enactments and fairs.
In Small Towns, Ms. Barney directs her discriminating eye to document elements of American life that are becoming scarce. Behind the malls and interstate highways that now typify the American landscape still lie small towns. The life they harbor is situated in the local businesses, parades, fairs, independent cafes and stores that are Barney’s subjects. True to her work throughout her thirty-year career, Barney does not pose her subjects nor does she manipulate the setting of her photographs. She puts her four-by-five view camera inside the scene and observes.
TINA BARNEY was born in 1945 in New York. Since 1975, she has been producing large-scale photographs of family and friends. Her meticulous tableaux chronicle the complexity of interpersonal relationships. These lush color prints have been exhibited and collected by major institutions around the world. Barney was the recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. Her monographs include Tina Barney: Theatre of Manners, published by Scalo in 2007, and The Europeans, published by Steidl in 2005. She lives in New York and Rhode Island.
Showing at JANET BORDEN, INC. 560 Broadway, New York.
Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 11-5.
