Press Release Checklist Bill Jacobson New Year's Day October 17- November 29, 2003 (the gallery will be closed for Thanksgiving; November 27 & 28, open Saturday November 29) The Julie Saul Gallery is pleased to announce our fifth solo exhibition of new work by Bill Jacobson. Entitled New Year's Day, the eight large scale color photographs which comprise the show depict images such as urban street scenes, rural landscapes and figures in darkened spaces. As diverse as these out of focus pictures appear to be, they share a dream-like feeling of stillness, and a somber tonal quality in which there is an equality between darkness and light. Consistent with Jacobson's earlier work, these photographs suggest a time of quiet introspection in which we reconcile the ending of a particular moment in life and the rebirth of another. Not unlike Walter Benjamin's flaneur, they evoke an existential journey through the world, of looking outward while simultaneously looking inward. Jacobson's work is included in numerous international public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Fonds National d'Art Contemporain in Lyon, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He received his undergraduate degree from Brown University, and his MFA from the San Francisco Institute of Art. He has also exhibited widely, and his full CV can be viewed on our website at www.saulgallery.com Images: in order of check list below BILL JACOBSON NEW YEAR'S DAY OCTOBER 17 - NOVEMBER 29, 2003 Entrance: New Year's Day #4550 2002 36 x 30" chromogenic print mounted to 46 x 40" museum board edition 1/7 Left of Front Desk: (from left to right) Untitled (from the series New Year's Day) 2003 4 1/2 x 3 1/2" unique polaroid print Untitled (from the series New Year's Day) 2003 4 1/2 x 3 1/2" unique polaroid print Untitled (from the series New Year's Day) 2003 4 1/2 x 3 1/2" unique polaroid print Main Gallery (from right to left) East Wall New Year's Day #4580 2002 36 x 30" chromogenic print mounted to 46 x 40" museum board edition 4/7 North Wall: New Year's Day #5074 2003 36 x 40" chromogenic print mounted to 46 x 30" museum board edition 1/7 New Year's Day #5111 2003 3 6 x 40" chromogenic print mounted to 46 x 30" museum board edition 1/7 New Year's Day #5044 2003 36 x 30" chromogenic print mounted to 46 x 40" museum board edition 1/7 $4700 West Wall: New Year's Day #5094 2003 36 x 30" chromogenic print mounted to 46 x 40" museum board edition 1/7 South Wall: New Year's Day #4561 2003 36 x 30" chromogenic print mounted to 46 x 40" museum board edition 1/7 New Year's Day #5038 2003 36 x 30" chromogenic print mounted to 46 x 30" museum board edition 1/7 top For additional information contact the gallery back |
