A look at Antwaun Sargent’s “Just Pictures,” which highlights Black image makers who blur the line between fashion and art to create their own space, one without boundaries
Photo: Renell Medrano, Courtesy of the artist and Projects + Gallery Many of today’s young photographers are experts at moving between worlds. If you’re Renell Medrano, for example, you might be taking intimate portraits in your ancestral homeland of the Dominican Republic for a personal project one moment, then capturing the Kardashians for Instagram the next, then pivoting to shooting a spread for Vogue magazine.
The exhibit was born out of conversations sparked by Sargent’s 2019 photo book and exhibition, The New Black Vanguard. His goal was to focus on Black image makers who blur the line between fashion and art, or the conceptual and the commercial, and in doing so, create their own space — one without boundaries, where identity is amorphous as well.
