SUMMARY:Ken Ohara: CONTACTS
DESCRIPTION:Ken Ohara: CONTACTS is artist Ken Ohara‘s (b. 1942) first U.S. institutional solo exhibition. Featuring twenty-two photographs and four accompanying documents from his groundbreaking series CONTACTS (1974–76)\, this exhibition showcases Ohara’s innovative photographic experiment\, where he mailed a preloaded camera to strangers across the U.S.\, instructing them to document their own lives before passing the camera along. During this process\, Ohara relinquished authorship\, decentralizing his point of view but rather facilitating and cocreating a uniquely personal and democratic portrait of Americans and American life at a time of economic and political unrest.    \nThe resulting “contact sheets\,” a recent acquisition to the Whitney’s collection\, are shown in chronological order and offer intimate glimpses into the lives of participants across thirty-six states. The exhibition explores themes of human connection and the collective synchronicities of mundane life utilizing the groundbreaking analog photography of the 1970s and contemporary image-sharing culture. \nhttps://whitney.org/exhibitions/ken-ohara \n

SUMMARY:Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe and the Last Gullah Islands
DESCRIPTION:Since the early 1970s\, artist\, activist\, and scholar Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe (b. 1951\, Chicago\, IL; lives and works in South Kent\, CT) has made photographs that testify to the beauty and complexity of Black life\, honoring the rhythms of the everyday and marking important rites of passage for the people who appear in them.  \nIn 1977\, following an earlier six-month independent study in West Africa\, Moutoussamy-Ashe traveled back across the Atlantic Ocean to Daufuskie Island\, which sits between Hilton Head\, South Carolina\, and Savannah\, Georgia. There and on the other surrounding Sea Islands\, she began making photographs among the Gullah Geechee—many of them descendants of the formerly enslaved people who acquired land from white plantation owners when they fled at the conclusion of the Civil War. For Moutoussamy-Ashe\, these places\, separated by the Atlantic\, were inextricably linked\, with the Sea Islands representing connective tissue within the Black diaspora; a place shaped by violent centuries of slavery and a community steadfast in the protection and nourishment of its unique culture and people. The Daufuskie Island photographs honor these entwined histories and the artist’s personal perspective. How images are made\, cared for\, and consumed are enduring concerns for the artist\, who maintains\, “Photography should force us to question ourselves and to question the environment in which we live.” \nDrawn from the Whitney’s collection\, this focused presentation includes a selection of Moutoussamy-Ashe’s black-and-white Daufuskie Island photographs and the artist’s related publications. Portraits of children and elders\, images of homes and the shoreline\, people at work and at rest\, and church services together form an impression of a community—and a place—on the cusp of great change.  \nJeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe and the Last Gullah Islands is organized by Kelly Long\, Senior Curatorial Assistant. \nhttps://whitney.org/exhibitions/jeanne-moutoussamy-ashe-last-gullah-islands
