ALEC SOTH
The Space Between UsAlec Soth’s photography is firmly rooted in the tradition of Walker Evans, Robert Frank, and Stephen Shore. His depiction of the everyday confronts the ideals romanticized by American society; independence, freedom, religious devotion and individual expression. Through his 8 x 10 camera lens, Soth captures the extraordinary by exposing and utilizing the vernacular of the ordinary. The exhibition features a selection from Alec Soth’s two acclaimed bodies of work Sleeping by the
Mississippi and Niagara along with a selection of images from the series Dog Days, Bogot?°, and his ongoing project, Portraits.
