South Africa, 1960s
African township is bulldozed out of existence to make way for white expansion. Government trucks will move residents and their few possessions into matchbox houses in new locations, usually in remote areas, perhaps not even named on map. Even to live there, families must qualify. People at right did not, and thus have not only had their homes razed, but have nowhere to go.*

Ernest Cole: House of Bondage
(June - September 2024)
South African photographer Ernest Cole (1940–1990) is considered one of the most important chroniclers of Apartheid politics.
This substantial exhibition revisits Cole’s ground-breaking project House of Bondage.
In 1966 Cole fled South Africa and smuggled out his photographs, settling in New York. House of Bondage was published in 1967 and revealed the brutality and injustice of Apartheid to the world, vividly documenting the everyday life of the Black population in South Africa. It became one of the most significant photobooks of the twentieth century.
In more than 100 photographs, the exhibition covers all 15 thematic chapters into which Cole has divided House of Bondage and also includes works from the chapter Black Ingenuity, which was not published in the original edition of the book.
...The captions were written by Ernest Cole himself, unless stated otherwise. The texts are taken directly from the publication, House of Bondage. Much of the language is specific to South Africa in 1966.

The apparently rough texture of this Buddha is caused by thousands of flakes of gold leaf, pressed on to the sculpture by devotees. These are then removed and recycled by the nuns who care for the Wat.
This photograph was taken in the area called Island of the Sky, a mesa on the northern end of Canyonlands National Park in southern Utah. We spent the night there before traveling to the southern part of the park the next day.
Existence.
Existencia.
Nos parece extraño pensar que entre este muro, la vida se hace muerte y la muerte se hace vida. Uno depende del otro para poder existir separados. Me recuerda la relación sol y luna. Sublime.

This little fern has grown up between the pavers. I sprayed the weeds but couldn't bring myself to remove this little fellow. Now it is about 15cm tall and beautiful and casts these lovely shadows

Twenty-five years ago a set of images were taken that provided a unique view of Earth and helped highlight the fragility of our existence, and the importance of our stewardship. theconversation.com/the-pale-blue-dot-and-other-selfies-o...

Skinner is more than just an artist who paints psychodellic images of metal band mayhem, he is an event, a personality, a one-stop-shop of the super rad. It is within this personality that we begin to understand Skinner's work, and the detail, time, and focus he puts into everything he produces. We sat down with the artist to talk about his new show at The Shooting Gallery entitled "The Fragile Art of Existence" which explores a new place in the Skinner's body of work.
