2024 Filter Photo Festival Conversation: Nathan Pearce & Clint Woodside
@ See You Soon, Kimball Arts Center
1757 N Kimball Ave, Studio 203C, Chicago, IL 60647
Opening Friday, September 20th, from 1 PM - 2 PM
In conjunction with the 2024 Filter Photo Festival, Filter Photo is pleased to present a conversation between Nathan Pearce and Clint Woodside of Deadbeat Club, where they will discuss Pearce’s recent publication, High & Lonesome.
In the quiet photographs gathered in High & Lonesome, there is an unmistakable and almost subversive act of stewardship taking place, a cultivation of mysteries and devotion that both embraces and subverts the mythology of the rural Midwest. These are quiet photos, but not entirely silent; beyond them you can hear the watchwinding racket of the natural world, or the forlorn and distant surf of traffic. They’re also eerily out-of-time; there’s a photo of a January 1993 page from an advertising calendar that’s an apt metaphor for a place that seems to be trapped in amber. There’s very little in these pictures, in fact, to indicate the 21st-century is anything but a still-distant nightmare from a pulp science fiction novel.
