Tatiana Kronberg: Dream Body

March 1 - April 13

Wilhem Röntgen’s (1845-1923) accidental discovery of new mysterious rays that he dubbed “X” in 1895 spurred spiritualists at the time to assign these unknown wavelengths the supernatural ability to capture the subtle bodies expressed in vibrations emitted by all matter. To demonstrate this abstract but real phenomenon of spontaneous radiation, Röntgen made the first photograph of the inside of the human limb. He used his wife Anna’s hand, rendering it transparent.

This adoption of transparency and fractured states is present in Rayism, a brainchild of romantic partners and artists Natalia Goncharova and Mikhail Larionov, who worked together during the time of Russian Futurism. Goncharova and Larionov rendered visible the normally imperceptible reflected rays by focusing on light as subject matter. Their compositions are characterized by intersecting linear forms made of rays that resonate and diffract off objects, giving a dream body to the unseen and in-between.

A bright orb of electricity, known as ball lightning, floated through the open window of my father’s bedroom in Gorky, Russia, when he was a boy. It circled around and left through the same window, leaving him unharmed but inspired to become a physicist. This memory, fractured in every re-telling, resonates in Dream Body as a quick flash of light. While making photograms in the darkroom, I substitute my father’s body with my own and use a number of objects, masks, and refracting tools to draw with light on the surface of the photo paper. My body is one of these devices —another aperture—while the paper acts as a recorder.

– Tatiana Kronberg, 2019
321 Gallery presents Dream Body, a solo show of new photograms by Tatiana Kronberg. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and based in Brooklyn, the artist employs photograms, performance, and sculpture in an exploration of images as active events. This is her first exhibition with 321 Gallery. Her work has been exhibited throughout the US in solo shows at Adds Donna, Chicago; Essex Flowers, New York; and Joan, Los Angeles. Her work has also been exhibited at Shanaynay, Paris; International Center of Photography, New York; Motel, Brooklyn; and Artists Space, New York.

Birney Imes: ‘Found these pictures’

February 7 - April 20

For more than 20 years in the 1970s and 80s, Birney Imes roamed the countryside of his native Mississippi photographing the people and places he encountered along the way. Working in both black and white and color, Imes’ photographs take viewers inside juke joints and dilapidated restaurants scattered across that landscape. There he introduces the viewer, as one writer put it, “to the strange and marvelous qualities of these local gathering spots.”

Imes’ photographs have been collected in three books: Juke Joint, Whispering Pines, and Partial to Home, and have been exhibited in solo shows in the United States and Europe. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and numerous public and private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

The Thingness of Things: Portraits of Objects

February 5 - May 26

Artists Respond: American Art and the Vietnam War, 1965-1975

March 15 - August 18

How the Vietnam War changed American art.

By the late 1960s, the United States was in pitched conflict both in Vietnam, against a foreign power, and at home—between Americans for and against the war, for and against the status quo. Artists Respond: American Art and the Vietnam War, 1965–1975 presents art created amid this turmoil, spanning the period from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s fateful decision to deploy U.S. ground troops to South Vietnam in 1965 to the fall of Sài Gònten years later.

Artists Respond is the most comprehensive exhibition to examine the contemporary impact of the Vietnam War on American art. The exhibition is unprecedented in its historical scale and depth. It brings together nearly 100 works by fifty-eight of the most visionary and provocative artists of the period. Galvanized by the moral urgency of the Vietnam War, these artists reimagined the goals and uses of art, affecting developments in multiple movements and media: photography, painting, sculpture, printmaking, performance, installation, documentary art, and conceptualism. This exhibition presents both well-known and rarely discussed works, and offers an expanded view of American art during the war, introducing a diversity of previously marginalized artistic voices, including women, African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans. The exhibition makes vivid an era in which artists endeavored to respond to the turbulent times and openly questioned issues central to American civic life.

Artists Respond: American Art and the Vietnam War, 1965–1975 is organized by Melissa Ho, curator of twentieth-century art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

The exhibition is presented in conjunction with an installation by internationally acclaimed artist Tiffany Chung. Tiffany Chung: Vietnam, Past Is Prologue, probes the legacies of the Vietnam War and its aftermath through maps, paintings, and videos that share the stories of former Vietnamese refugees.
