Composed from a collection of her grandmother’s personal photos, Myra Greene’s “Kept” lays bare the mechanisms of visibility while interrogating notions of archive and intervention. | ✍️ Annette LePique
Myra Greene’s “Kept,” the Atlanta artist’s third solo exhibition at Patron, interrogates notions of archive and intervention with deft and delicate hands. The act of care drives Greene’s mediation as the exhibition is composed from a collection of her grandmother’s personal photos.
Greene selected and reprinted specific images from her grandmother’s personal photos as ambrotypes, in order to challenge assumptions of Black interiority and kinship.It’s this question of sight that resides at the heart of “Kept.” How one sees, how one expresses their vision, the differences and frictions inherent to your experience when compared to that of another, are what Greene seeks to study.
