Join us this Saturday May 2, 5-7 pm at Casemore Gallery for the opening of ‘Mike Brodie: New and Selected Works’
Mike Brodie (@mikebrodie) will be in conversation with Paul Schiek of TBW Books (@tbwbooks) before the opening at 4 pm
This solo exhibition covers Brodie’s itinerant younger years, hitchhiking and hopping trains across America, a period that produced his critically acclaimed 2004-2008 series ‘A Period of Juvenile Prosperity’, and a decade of harrowing adult trials that began in 2012, resulting in his recent series Failing.
The photographs from both bodies of work are notable for being intimate and cinematic in equal measure. Becoming, by default and intent, part of the communities he encountered, he made photographs that eliminate distance between himself and his subjects, a closeness passed on to the viewer, and heightened by the warm, earthy tones of his uncompromising images.
