![Have you had the opportunity to check out RaMell Ross’ “Spell, Time, Practice, American, Body?”
This solo exhibition explores Ross’ inquiry into Hale County, Alabama through photography, film and sculpture while also examining Ross’ broader formal and conceptual language – one that emphasizes his everyday experiences.
Ross’ artwork deconstructs the sometimes intrusive nature of photography and film by engaging with the people in his photographs. While viewing Ross’ work, the viewer is presented with ambiguous situations, leaving the work open for interpretation.
“I’ve lived and worked in Hale County for almost 12 years,” explains Ross. “Sometimes, there, I feel like I have no race. And if the light was right, no one else did either. Still the myth of blackness is entangled at the root of the South’s mythology – a mythology upheld in textbooks, institutions, media and film and literature. And photography is implicated.”
You can view RaMell Ross’ “Spell, Time, Practice, American, Body” at the Ogden Museum through March 27, 2022.
