Jenny Fine’s Sinking Spell is a series of photographic sculptures and collages from documentation of the ongoing immersive installation/performance sync/swim (formerly Synchronized Swimmers.) The central question these works and souvenirs ask the viewer is, “Do you want to take me home?”

In 2020, Fine brought Synchronized Swimmers to life. The immersive installation is based on research and imagery from the Florida Gulf Coast and the artist’s relationship to water – specifically, the childhood memories of her time spent in her grandmother’s in-ground pool. That pool filled her childhood with play, often transporting her and her sisters to places only their imaginations could take them. Later, the show evolved to sync/swim, with the imagery still leaning heavily on family narratives, geographical research, and regional cultural history.

Sinking Spell is an opportunity to confront the immersive nature of this former body of work. By removing herself from its performance and conceptual rigidness, the artist uses this exhibition as an exercise to think formally about the compositions, pushing the photographic form forward.

Sinking Spell is on view October 5-28, 2023, at the Bells Gallery. It includes photography, photographic sculpture collages, and mixed media sculptures once used as props and performance pieces.

In the latest episode of “Monograph” from @al_public_tv, Jackie Clay of the Coleman Center for the Arts (@ccayork) visits the @wiregrassmuseum in Dothan, Alabama.

Burnaway contributor Melissa Yes visited the Coleman Center for the Arts earlier this year to learn more about the important role a contemporary arts center can play in rural communities.

Boll Weevil Monument, Performance No. 1, @thesculpturecenter in Cleveland, OH. Cleveland Institute of Art student, Abigail Collins, inside the #cyclorama for the debut #performance of #flatgrannyandme #aprocessioninmymind -
In 1968 my grandmother was named my hometown’s “Woman of the Year”. Along with all the beauty queens and city officials in the parade that year, she too rode down Main St., her flight clumsily swerving around the Boll Weevil Monument as she waved to the crowd below. -
This is the mental image, given to me as a child through story, that inspired this three-year traveling exhibition. I made this work in a desire to physically stand and walk around inside this mental image.

A big thanks to Jenny Fine for sharing her amazing story with us last night. Flat Granny made her first Wiregrass appearance three years ago and it’s been so much fun watching this work evolve. “In Unison” continues Jenny’s practice of storytelling as an exploration of cultural memory in the form of dance. Combining photography, costume design, and live performance, “In Unison” calls into question the historic form of the photograph and the body as moving image. This project relies on generative research and will continue to grow over the coming year. Be sure to check out the next phase of the project @mobmuseumofart in January for their #doit exhibition.

#wcw Looking back to three years ago when the Wiregrass was first introduced to Jenny Fine's Flat Granny at the 2014 National Peanut Festival Parade along Main Street in Dothan, Alabama.
