Tina Barney

Info: Zander Galerie is delighted to announce Tina Barney. Silver Shadows, the acclaimed American photographer’s first exhibition with the gallery, following the announcement of her representation this spring.nFor more than four decades, Tina Barney has been a defining figure in contemporary photography. Born in 1945, Barney has photographed the world she knows most intimately—her own family and close friends—creating complex images that blur the boundaries between observation and direction. She is renowned for the scale and intricacy of her color photographs examining family dynamics of generational privilege in the extraordinary environments in New England and New York. Silver Shadows brings together two distinct bodies of black and white photographs alongside the short film Family Portraits. Barney’s earliest images, made in Rhode Island in 1977, reveal an intimate approach: the fragmentary and tightly cropped prints withhold the gaze of their subjects. Instead, formal clothing and stilted posture become markers of social identity, anticipating themes that would define Barney’s practice. (…)

Joe Goode

Info: Zander Galerie is pleased to present an exhibition of large-scale oil paintings and works on paper by Joe Goode, spanning over three decades of the artist’s sustained engagement with the sky as both subject and site of intervention. Bringing together works from 1969 to 2002, the exhibition traces Goode’s exploration of transparency across a range of cloud paintings alongside later skyscapes that register environmental change. Since the late 1960s, Goode has taken a blade to freshly painted skies, slicing away sections of canvas to expose a second, contrasting layer beneath. In his single panels and triptychs, some extending to more than 3.5 meters (twelve feet) in width, these acts of physical destruction reveal another painted layer or the raw support of the painting. In the earlier Photo Cloud works, trompe l’oeil Polaroids are painted as if drifting across pastel skies, doubling the act of representation. (…)
