(Re)collection, pairings of
a collection with new views. Lakes Were Rivers, an Austin-based collective of photographers, pairs a work from
each of its members with a photograph from the Harry S. Ransom Center’s
collection in an exhibition that kicked off E.A.S.T. at 1319 Rosewood Friday night. Most of the duets share an evident
connection. Makes me think of
Lawrence Weschler’s obsession with convergences.
I wonder if
the artists made new works based on the photograph from the Ransom Center of
their choosing or if they selected a work from the collection to hang with an
already realized photograph. I’m
guessing the latter. Either way,
it’s a really interesting show that questions “everything that rises”.
Much thanks to Jessica for the installation shots!
