At projects+gallery, St. Louis, critic, curator and author Antwaun Sargent has conceived an exhibition of young photographers who are turning their gazes to a new, genreless mode of photography In St. Louis, Missouri, a new exhibition is rethinking the definition of contemporary photography. ‘Just Pictures’ surveys a new age of genre-bending photographers whose work oscillates between contexts and disciplines of fine art, fashion photography, and the history of the medium.
The exhibition is conceived and curated by critic and author Antwaun Sargent, and held at projects+gallery. Sargent is perhaps best known for his highly-lauded book,, a critical, and strikingly visual anthology exploring how a new generation of young Black photographers are eradicating the parameters of art and fashion.
The featured artists are Ruth Ossai, Arielle Bobb-Willis, Yagazie Emezi, Mous Lamrabat, Renell Medrano, Rafael Pavarotti, Joshua Kissi, Justin Solomon and Joshua Woods. Ruth Ossai uses fashion as a tool to transport narratives that explore and celebrate her personal history and the broader cultural identity of her subjects. Renell Medrano casts new light on street and documentary photography, with images imbued with glamour and rich symbolism.
‘The way these images move rapidly between contexts, garnering new and often contradictory meanings, that allow them to simultaneously operate as racial representations while also being discrete product shots, documentations of family and glossies of the latest fashion trends,’ says Sargent.
