Mixing archival images of Jackson on tour in the United States with lush landscapes from Italy to South Africa, Gray's photographic sculptures reframe and reveal an intimate yet collective post-colonial, transatlantic memory. By layering images, bodies and faces become fragmented, drawing into question the role photography plays in the transmission of history and cultural identity.

This is the first U.S. presentation of work made during Gray’s 2017 residency at NIROX in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Todd Gray: Pluralities of Being was organized by Mara Gladstone, Associate Curator at the Palm Springs Art Museum and was exhibited 2018-2019.
