I belong to this, curated by Justine Kurland

About

The title of the show is from Ariana Reines’s poem “Save the World,” and can be read as a declaration of identification, a promise of solidarity, or a blurring of self into multitudes. These artists mark an intractable this. The camera points, more like an ear than an index finger, in the direction of what is felt rather than seen and to those invisible threads that hold us together.

Exhibiting artists: Genesis Báez, Jennifer Calivas, Naima Green, AK Jenkins, Sydney Mieko King, Keli Safia Maksud, Jacky Marshall, Qiana Mestrich, Shala Miller, Cheryl Mukherji, Diana Palermo, Calafia Sanchez-Touzé, Keisha Scarville, Wendy Small, Gwen Smith, Anne Vetter, and Annie Hsiao-Ching Wang.

JUSTINE KURLAND (born in Warsaw, New York, 1969) received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts and her MFA from Yale University. She is known for her utopian photographs of American landscapes and their fringe communities. Her work is in equal parts raw and romantic, idyllic and dystopian. Recent work departs from the road trips she is known for and contemplates her origins: her apartment in New York City, her hometown of Fulton, New York, and her mother’s home in rural Virginia. Her work is in the public collections of institutions including the Guggenheim Museum, New York, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and International Center of Photography, New York, amongst others.
