JHB Gallery is pleased to announce Ellen Carey's solo exhibition Dings, Pulls, and Shadows, at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. The exhibition highlights Carey's expansive career since the 1990s of defying the photographic conventions of depicting identifiable subjects. Carey moves beyond the observable and into a more metaphysical interaction with light. The exhibition features seven key works that illustrate her ongoing explorations with light, color and the photographic process as a subject of her practice.   

Alongside the exhibition, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in collaboration with Ellen Carey, will launch a limited edition book, each with a unique photogram signed by the artist. The publication features a collection of essays by Joy Jeehye Kim, the Assistant Curator of Photographs; Steven Watson, the Media Production Manager and a foreward by Andrew J. Walker, the Executive Director at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. Walker writes: "Her innovation lies in her manipulation of the traditional photographic process, eschewing the camera and reducing the medium to its essentials of emulsion, light and paper. In the lightless environment of the darkroom, she wrinkles and cracks the pristine surface of glossy paper, exposing it to brief flashes of illumination to produce images of pure color." The exhibition closes on July 22, 2018. 

Free tours of this exhibition are available upon request. Schedule a tour by emailing [email protected] and [email protected]

The Polaroid Project exhibition, which includes Carey's Pulls, is also currently on view at Museum Für Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg until June 17 and will travel to C/O Berlin on July 7, 2018.
