About this Event
Jenkins Johnson Gallery is pleased to present Believable, the gallery’s first solo exhibition with New York artist Lola Flash.
Beginning at 5pm, on Saturday, November 8th, there will be an artist talk with Flash and Rhea L. Combs, Director of Curatorial Affairs, Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. The talk will be followed by the exhibition's opening reception, 6:00PM to 8:00PM.
The talk and exhibition will be our debut on the 3rd Floor of 385 Broadway, New York, NY 10013, as part of Jenkins Johnson Gallery's new alliance with Marian Goodman Gallery.
A pioneering voice in photography for more than four decades, Flash’s multifaceted practice has evolved through numerous series, each with a unique formal and conceptual focus. Beginning with their iconic “Cross Colour” series from the late 1980s and 1990s—which utilized inverted colors to document queer culture as part of ACT UP, in the wake of the HIV/AIDS epidemic—this exhibition traces a path through portraiture towards recent and ongoing series. Working at the forefront of genderqueer visual politics, Flash’s work challenges preconceptions about gender and racism, and is firmly rooted in social justice advocacy for marginalized peoples.
