Luther Konadu: Tentative Photo
January 10 – February 8
Opening Reception: January 10 | 6 – 9 PM | RSVP
Artist Talk: 7:30 PM
“Tentative Photo follows an ongoing pursuit in portraiture as it relates to self and discursively with a collective identity. Konadu considers the making of portraiture as a process of slow accumulation; an exploration that is and will remain inconclusive. Tentativeness here is closely associated with the way Konadu thinks through depiction of the figure through photography. Instead of a quick snap of the figure’s likeness and presenting it as a portrait, portrayal for the artist is an open-ended question that is never reconciled. It is provisional, arises through multiple relations, and non-resting. Always shifting and subject to further reconsidering. Unlike photographs used as tools of factual information or for “knowing” something about those depicted, the figures in Konadu’s images will always appear fragmentary, de-specified, and tentative.”
