Southern Exposure presents three newly commissioned solo projects by Jimbo Blachly and Lytle Shaw (Editors of the Chadwick Family Papers), Aaron Maietta, and Soft Turns (Sarah Jane Gorlitz and Wojciech Olejnik). Through the Solo Exhibitions program, SoEx is committed to offering support to emerging artists chosen by Southern Exposure’s artist-run curatorial committee. Blachly and Shaw’s Selected Shipwrecks features works documenting the Chadwick family’s venerable nautical past, including Shipwreck Memorials (sculptures of the moment just after the sea has claimed a vessel). Condensation Range by Aaron Maietta shrinks and combines multiple histories of Southern Exposure exhibitions and reveals them in a series of photographs. Lastly, an installation by Soft Turns (Sarah Jane Gorlitz and Wojciech Olejnik), explores the dynamics of narrative, cultural memory, and display and hints at the historic journeys of two Czech explorers. Gorlitz and Olejnik’s display cases and animated videos unravel their mysterious story to create their work Behind the High Grass.
