Toutes les images de Mimi Plumb, prises entre 1984 et 1990, traduisent l’inquiétude d’une annihilation prochaine, les sujets tournent le dos à l’objectif ou posent un regard anxieux sur le hors-champ. Les arbres sont nus, la fumée d’un incendie dévore l’horizon. L’artiste, dans la veine d’une certaine photographie sociale californienne, pose une question abyssale : « Comment représenter la peur ? » À l’époque, c’étaient les guerres en Amérique centrale, l’épidémie du sida et les attaques de l’administration Reagan contre la démocratie. Aujourd’hui, ce pourrait être les pandémies, la guerre au Moyen-Orient et la dystopie trumpienne.

The High Museum of Art (@highmuseumofart) has recently launched the national tour for photographer Mimi Plumb’s (@mimi_plumb) first solo museum exhibition: Blazing Light: Photographs by Mimi Plumb that will run through May 10, 2026. Over the last 50 years, Plumb has expertly and poignantly captured the evolution of the Western U.S. landscape and the lives of those within it. The exhibition features three of her major bodies of work, with more than 100 photographs that contemplate how changes in geopolitics, the economy and the environment have shaped the anxieties of American life from the 1970s to today. After it debuts at the High, the exhibition will travel to three more venues: Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University (Ithaca, New York), the Norton Museum of Art (West Palm Beach, Florida) and the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago.

Happy last Friday of March, photographers! 💫 In case you missed it, early bird registrations are ongoing until April 15 only for « CREATIVE IMMERSION 4 », our new 3-day intensive gathering in the early fall led by acclaimed artists @mimi_plumb and @drakeycake, and @highmuseumofart Curator @gregoryjohnharris! Each mentor will offer the attending group tailored morning presentations focused on their distinct creative tracks and achievements, and on sharing their invaluable experience navigating the increasingly complex realities of building successful artistic practices today. All three mentors will then lend their sharp intercrossing lenses to the participants’ work during three afternoon-long review sessions. During these, each participant will receive a full hour review with the three mentors and the group, as well as individual studio/wall/table space where to lay out in full their current project/portfolio and edit/reflect feedback in real time. In the early evening and morning time, participants will get the chance to wander along Bowen Island’s countless scenic trails, breathe in its serene natural landscape, and experience our small community’s genuine friendliness and caring spirit (Bowen is among Canada’s safest!). Participants will leave with a renewed sense of confidence in their work and in its potential for further dissemination, strengthened ties with both talented peers and important, caring mentors, and a refined understanding of their overall position as photographers making sense of our tense, current moment. Secure your retreat spot soon at the profile 🔗! 👆🌟 Image 1 © Mimi Plumb, Treasure Island, 2020. From her book « The Golden City » (@stanleybarkerbooks, 2022).
